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:

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 :)

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

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

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:

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

Shaun 12-01-2014 09:15 PM

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

Devon >

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