My DD has decided to add Durham to her application due tomorrow, yikes! She didn’t realize she had to pick a college, this is very confusing! Anyone have any experience with this?! Please help, thank you!
Really just read the website for each. It’s not a sure thing. We walked around and my daughter picked UC but her offer was for a different one.
@VickiSoCal Thanks, she really likes the Bailey Colleges & would be happy in any except the one that says it’s really Christian. She likes St Chads, Hatfield & University but who knows where she would get in.
It really is a bummer you can’t rank a few of them.
@VickiSoCal It truly is. Durham seems much harder than Edinburgh to get in though. I really love the more college feel & it seems beautiful.
It depends on the subject. D got an unconditional for Biomedical Science.
@VickiSoCal Wow that’s amazing, congrats, such a hard subject! Looks like your D got into quite a few U.K. schools, is she enjoying it? Does she miss having more of a campus or is it a non issue?
She loves St. Andrews and feels she made the right choice. She is in a traditional catered dorm and made a large group of friends right away. She joined an academic family (St. Andrews thing), attended one formal ball, went on a fall break trip with 8 girla, and enjoys the traditoons. She’s a little anxious about firat semester grades as those are not released yet.
@VickiSoCal That sounds just wonderful! My DD is so shy, your daughter made 8 friends already? Mine won’t make that in years! Sigh.
