There's supposed to be a benefit to studying single degree subjects anyway...
So... still going to Oxbridge, or not?
Ooh! Aaron has resorted to taking the obsession to MSN!

I've seen Cambridge, and love the place, but the learning atmosphere is still holding me back from the idea.

That's cheap Aaron. How can I giggle at you if you hide your weird obsession there?

Where else then? I've been looking and I still don't know the best places for English. For some reason Leicester caught my eye, as did Bristol. No idea really though.

Don't be silly. She'd do something with influence.

I have no doubt that you'll giggle anyway.

Leicester only caught my eye because they sent a letter to me through UCAS, asking me to go and visit them!
I'm going to see UCL a week tomorrow, King's College London in August and York on the second of July possibly. I'd like to go see Durham but they don't have proper Open Days, and it's a long way to go for only an hour talk.

Giggle. Silly Aaron

I can't go to London Uni's. My dad insists I leave the house
Go to a London one! A London one!!!

Why? Why?
Has my dad offended you?

My parents think I'll end up at a London one, because I'm apparently too homely to move out!

unis* 
And zooo's correct. Go to a London one!

I think moving out is a pretty big part of the Uni experience. Though I did visit a friend in Uni over the weekend. It wasn't the nicest living space I'd ever seen, however it was nice to get served without question in a pub though.
That's what I said about moving out, but they are right that I'd probably hate it at first at least! Royal Holloway is perfect as it's quite close, but I would have to live in halls.
You could still move out!
But be close enough to home to go back for Sunday lunch every week.
Best of both worlds!
Ha!
Some unis have quite nice halls.
London's stupidly expensive though. Everything from food to transport wll be much more expensive than anywhere else. I preferred Brighton because it's still under an hour away from London and a hell of a lot cheaper for drinks and stuff.
