[MeMyselfAndI]

I might be going too Cornwall for uni

[Z]

Looks nice, never been. What is there to do?

[Ammi]

..they're beautiful counties, especially Devon but that's probably because I've been there more...my OH works in Devon and I think that maybe eventually we will move there...

Oh nice, where abouts?

So much Zee, nicest beaches of the UK by a long, long, long distance. Nice countryside, the moors, people, sky dives, surfing, festivals etc.

Falmouth is amazing :worship:

You will love it down there, especially the summers. :love:

[Natalie.]

I'd love to live down there

The beach parties would be great, but it's a bit small D:

[Z]

I'll have to pay Shaun another visit

You'll be at uni, small will be good as you'll all be too drunk to care.

I remember when I lived in Totnes/Dartington for uni we often went to the river in summer and tied up rubber rings to the trees and just sat bobbing in them with beers, spliffs and tunes.

[Good King Glennceslas]

Looe and Polperro are nice places. Newquay seems to have a little more going on. Well it has all the times I've been there.

[Ammi]

I'll have to pay Shaun another visit

..yeas please, we need another TiBB meet-up thread..:flutter:..

[GiRTh]

I've never been to either. I used to do quite a lot of work in Poole in Dorset. It was lovely down there.

I think I'd prefer lots of people & nightlife in the winter though.

Again, you'll be a hippy by then so you won't care, lol. But you do have Plymouth via train that you can hit at weekends for your big city weekends out.

[MeMyselfAndI]

I've never been so stressed ever, I have until like April too make my decision

What are your choices?

[MeMyselfAndI]

What are your choices?

Exeter (Cornwall Campus), Sheffield & Reading
(awaiting reply from Nottingham & Birmingham, part of me wishes I'd applied too Bristol & Southampton :()

(awaiting reply from Nottingham & Birmingham, part of me wishes I'd applied too Bristol & Southampton :()

Ahh Bristol would have been good. But all fine choices. Which one is standing out for you?

[GiRTh]

Go to Nottingham. two women to every man. Nuff said,

[MeMyselfAndI]

I really don't know, I have visited all of them bar Exeter & Nottingham, which I will be visiting in March. I have no clue at all. D:

I've heard Nottingham Uni is a campus & is really nice though.

[MeMyselfAndI]

almost all Universities have way more girls than boys :laugh:

You will fall in love with Exeter and Falmouth, especially if the weather is good. Such a cool place to study.

Only 4,000 students though & there are more mature students there.

That is the biggest of your worries? :joker:

The social side of uni will be amazing no matter where you go, be it a city of the countryside, it's the course you need to look at because if you hate that you'll drop out of uni and there will be no social side. :tongue:

[Lee.]

I love Cornwall and Devon! Have had great holidays there. My sis in law has recently moved from Bude to Exeter so that will probably be our next place to visit :)

[Good King Glennceslas]

I think I need a little break to Cornwall. It's so peaceful down there :flutter:

[Chuck]

I dream about going to Cornwall ever since I read The Shell Seekers. :love:

[Shaun]

I find it a bit too quiet really... very nice counties to look at but apart from Exeter and Newquay it's all a bit dead. No major festivals, no major cities, too much dead space (or lovely manure-smelling countryside, depending on how you look at it) inbetween places.

And the demographics are a bit off too... most of the country seems to come here to die, which is a bit dreary, and as a result the local media and news is basically "oh well Mavis made a nice jam sponge today and then some war veterans wondered what on earth hoodies are for".

It is a really beautiful place aesthetically though... ignoring Torbay and its council estates and capital-of-europe-teenage-pregnancy-stats etc etc.

I think as a student there I had a different take on it as opposed to being brought up there. :love:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I would be living on campus around other students, in a student town. If I choose too go there

[Shaun]

Oh and there are virtually zero job opportunities. :( (might just be talking for Devon though)

[Samm]

Devon >

Only because it's quicker to get too and going on holiday, there in the summer
