I have applied for Student fiance, and have been given the figure of how much money i'll be receiving. Because i'm hoping to go Newcastle the number figure is around what i thought it was.

I applied for Film and Media firstly, but after looking at the different modules i felt i would be better suited for the Film practice course. The modules are similar however Film practice will allow me to be more creative.

During this time i have been to three of my chosen university applicant days, the first one was Nottingham, i probably enjoyed this one the least, because the course was a lot more academic to what i had previously hoped for, so straight away i ruled Nottingham out. Sheffield Hallam i didn't actually attend an applicant day but doing research online the actual campus was exactly the nicest so yet again i opted to decline their offer. So that St Marys and Newcastle. The St Marys applicant day was much better than i had planned, and also the area was nice, so i decided to make it my Insurance, leaving Newcastle as my firm. When i went to the Newcastle applicant day i could tell this felt like home, i loved the area and the people seemed so friendly so thats why i decided to pick Newcastle as my firm.

The reason i decided to decline my offer from Ravensbourne is because they didn't offer me the course which i had hoped for, they offered me the chance to join their digital TV course instead of the digital film course which i applied for.

This is a screenshot of the offers which i have received

I have been extremely fortunate in the sense that i have received 4 offers and have not had to do any further work or attend any interviews i have been asked to attend applicant days for my chosen universities, i have extremely excited to attend these applicant days because it will give me a much better understanding of my course and what the different universities have to offer.

# data[].attributes.body
So far i have received 4 offers from my final 5 choices
Sheffield Hallam - Merit, Grade C at Maths
Newcastle - Distinction
Nottingham - Merit
St Mary's - Merit
So far Newcastle is my firm choice reason being, reason being is because Newcastle is considered the best university for Media and Communication.

Yesterday we was given a presentation on student finance i found this extremely helpful, it was very straight forward and gave me all the information i needed in knowing how the fees and accommodation would be payed for.

A couple of weeks ago me and my friend travelled to Bradford to cheek out their uni and see what they have to offer in terms of accommodation and different facilities, overall i felt the experience was lackluster, we both agreed the actual university campus was lovely, but in terms of the area outside of the area, it gave off a real ere vibe and we was put off the uni.

Ravensborune - Along with Newcastle this will be my 1/2 choice, the facilities are incredible, the connections are amazing and is also filled with practical work.

Newcastle - Film and Media BA Honorus, for me Newcastle will probably be my 1/2 choice, the area looks fantastic and also Newcastle was voted the best university for digital media http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings?

On the 15th of October me and a few friends travelled to Ravensbourne University to get an understanding of the course as a whole, overall I enjoyed the day massively, for me Ravensbourne university is a top 2 pick, the area was fantastic, it is located in  North Greenwhich, literally next to the O2, and it was a great day overall. The talk went on for about 1 hour and he covered what we would be doing on the course, and the type of things which they offered as a university.

Over the upcoming the months i will have to make a very important decision, i have two main options, going to university or opt for an apprenticeship, i went to Southbank university for my first open day, i enjoyed the facilities but i felt the actual area lacked, i have a few more open days lined up in the upcoming weeks, my main ambition is to go to uni but i fail to get the required grades, apprenticeship is always a good backup however, finding a media based apprenticeship is extremely difficult. if i was to go university i would want to stay in London, on the other hand if i was to move out of London, i would want leave the city by some distance, for example i have open days at Newcastle and also Swansea, reason being i would like to experience the whole uni lifestyle and live independently
