"Southampton has one of the best academic records in the o****ry, but has suffered a poor reputation for a student satisfaction beyond academia - historically the social side of things has been a bit limp. A new union bar and gig venue has been rumoured for years but never materialised. Campus life has yet been described to us as pretty dull, even though the number of student societies has always been high. Now, all that may be about to change."

from a uni guide, The Virgin(tm) Alternative guide.

Yeah its a great uni. What confuses me is that the times rank it as top 10 but guardian ranks it in the bottom lot..:s

Ahhh well!

I think its a good uni and place

Its up to you if you like it or not

I dont go with the rating thingy, they can be a little misleading.

All the best

No offence Jose, but if you think applying to Oxford is hassle, do you really think you'll be suited to any Uni? Never mind the medical course!

Isn't that a little harsh...

I think in that he was talking about the letters and things he needs to send to Oxford about not getting AAA ect... making it a hassle.

I dont think he really meant it in a bad way

lol. I understand it would seem like that, and I would tell exactly the same thing if I werent aware of the situation "are you sure you're even ready for a medical course?!?!?!?!"

lol. Dedicated the past 4 years of my life to getting into medicine. The other Uni's ive done a whole load of work (research n stuffs) its just I had an extra place so i put oxford down...hence lack of "motivation" and seeing sending of letters, papers, getting extra reference, sitting an exam ...as a hassle. Since the other uni's i applied for dont need it.

Tnx blossom for havin my back

where have you applied to by the way?
