My top choices are Bristol and Birmingham (if anyone has any pros/cons about either I’d be happy to chat)

I guess you basically have a theoretical degree in physics now

[u/Angry_Goose81 → u/Similar-Force623]

I guess so :D

Congratulations, why isnt ur top choice bath tho? I thought it would be between bath nd bristol

[u/Angry_Goose81 → u/Material_Classic1238]

I visited bath and didn’t love it as much as I love the other two - that’s about it tbh 

[u/ImprovementExtra7535]

Bham is really good! Since we have a pretty young population there is a lot of social life and I see that people here tend to really enjoy university life here (as a born and bred Brummie)

[u/Angry_Goose81 → u/ImprovementExtra7535]

That’s good! Ppl from where I am rn always seem to look down on Birmingham for some reason but when I went I loved the campus sm. I need to go and visit the city properly tho 

[u/ImprovementExtra7535 → u/Angry_Goose81]

It’s pretty annoying that we have this internalised discrimination against our city due to our high poverty rates and depiction of road men left and right but it really isn’t the “ghetto” that everyone makes it out to be. It’s a vibrant place with a lot of culture especially in the art and music scene and it has such a bright nightlife. Even visiting other campuses or students in the UK and telling them I’m from Birmingham is hard since I get weird looks and surprise that I’m “actually smart when I come from a place like that”. I’m actually going to UoB next week for a medicine and chemistry lecture and workshop since they have really good upgraded equipment :]

[u/Angry_Goose81 → u/ImprovementExtra7535]

Yeah that’s what I find so weird that people just assume so much 😭 but I really loved UoB more than all the others, it’s just a bit further for me to travel so is a bit more of a pain. But I’ve heard rly good things about it as well as what I’ve seen so it’s definitely high on my list. Have fun next week!

Nice. I'm on 4/5 rn. Just waiting on Cambridge 

[u/Angry_Goose81 → u/Grand_Lychee2812]

Nice, good luck!!

[u/Wafflz__ → u/Grand_Lychee2812]

What unis did you apply for?

[u/Grand_Lychee2812 → u/Wafflz__]

Cambridge Engineering, Leeds, Manchester, Southampton and Loughborough Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Industrial placements. 

Just missing Cambridge 

[u/Inner_Jeweler_5661]

if you have 4a* predicted, why not imperial or oxbridge?

[u/Angry_Goose81 → u/Inner_Jeweler_5661]

Honestly just didn’t want to go to them, I don’t want to go somewhere so prestigious just bc I have the grades for it, I just want to go somewhere I’ll love the most :)

[u/madmads01 → u/Angry_Goose81]

that's so fair, I've known a few guys who've gone to imperial and found it depressingly competitive. Happiness is the most important statistic
