Hi ya!! Nice to meet u all.

I got an offer last week by email but haven't received the official letter now :) also didn't choose a college in my application form.

Let's share

was offered as well and got the letter already - International trade and Commercial Law!!!
am assigned to Ustinov!!

Congrats!!!

I also received the Email, telling me, that I'll receive the letter in the next weeks. I also didn't choose a college.

I also have an offer from Edinburgh.

But I'm still waiting for some replies.

I just got a conditional offer from Durham. But I need to re-take an IELTS exam since my offer issued that I have to attend an English pre-sessional course for 12 weeks !!! (I got IELTS 6 but 5.5 in writing) . Personally,it's really expensive and too long . Actually, my friend is now Durham's student told me that last year she got an IELTS band scores likes me and she attended only 8 weeks for English pre-sessional course.

Hi All

I am heading to Durham this year. Hatfiled College. Still haven't decided whether to live on campus or out...

Hey Guys,

Got a conditional offer too and have chosen and been accepted into Hatfield :) Really looking forward to it! Clairesh, are you thinking of staying in Palatine house?

Also got an offer from Edinburgh and a bit confused on which one to accept... any ideas?? I love both campuses (although Ed. is a more beautiful and diverse city...) but then Durham has the collegiate system and is arguably preferred by UK employers... So torn between the two!!

Hi, llegrand

It's really a no easy choice... Personally I prefer big cities if the cost is affordable. I also got an offer from UCL, but have to go to Durham considering the tuition and high living expenses in London... Anyway, Durham is also attractive to me.

I am still hesitating whether to live on campus or not. It is said the rent is much cheaper to live outside. And I guess I will probably find a room outside. Will you staying in Palatine?

Hey Clairesh,

I'm not sure yet, I talked everything over with my parents last night and I think I'm going to Durham after all since the modules there are more directed towards the commercial side of European law than Edinburgh's more academic approach.

I visited Palatine house before coming home for Easter- I'm at uni in Newcastle so I thought It was probably wise to just pop over and have a tour. I'm not sure if you've been to visit? The college itself is great and gorgeous.. Palatine house isn't the prettiest thing around (not terribly ugly either..) but its just a one story house with several corridors.. I spoke to some students who were there and they seem to love it. The rooms aren't that big either (there are some big ones in the corners of each corridor but I think undergraduate Hatfield students continuing their postgraduate studies at Durham get first choice on them)

I would rather stay in a nice flat too with en-suite and everything else, but I'm very tempted to stay in Palatine because its just a year and I think we'll probably meet more people if we're living in. So, I think I'll probably end up staying there... not 100% sure though.

Good luck finding a nice place though :) xxx

Hi llegrand

Great you have finally decided to go to Durham! Looking forward to seeing you this Autumn.
No, I have never visited Durham, but I have watched some video clips and photos from college website. Palatine is not that impressive compared with other school buildings... but my main concern is still the living cost (guess will have to work until late Sep for that...) I figure it is still the best for one -year to live on campus if money is not a problem. After all, Durham is a collegiate university, and I don't think to live outside is the best way to enjoy it.

Dear all:
I should be most grateful if you could please know how long it takes to hear from Durham.
Thanks a lot.

Hy Colorado,

I received an offer 3-4 weeks after my application.

Ok cool thanks a lot. I really need an uupdate ofmy statusapplication since I amgoing to Singapore fo an internship and I needt to plan my program.Cheers.

Another question please. Does anybody know if Do I have chances to be accepted having 2.2 instead 2.1. Is it possible to balance with my erasmus program at Sheffield for 6 months, summer courses at LSE,KCL,SOAS, internship for 4 months in Delhi, and one month itnernship in Singapore? Thanks a lot. Durham it has been always my top preference however I think is gonna be difficult to get admission bc of my grades...Let me know your sicnere thoughts. Thanks a lot.

hii
i have been given a conditional by Durham at Ustinov college.
I might sound silly but i really would like to know how good it is and how reputed its commercial, trade law course is and every thing..
please lemme know

Hey!

I have just received an email from Durham that my offer has been dispatced and same will be arrived next week. I am expecting it a conditional offer as i scored 6.0 Band in Ielts Test with 5.5 in writing. Now i am worried whether they would suggest me for 8 weeks or 12 weeks Program? I am interested in Pre-sessional for improving Language Skills but Not Too Long as it will take me out of Budget. Any Idea how to convince the Administration ?

Count me in at 50% ! I have not yet received the formal offer, but the email saying my application would be recommended.

I have applied for the European Trade and Commercial law LLM & Hatfield College. I am quite looking forward to experiment the collegiate system, but I am wondering if it's in the same league as UCL or QMUL. Durham is quite highly regarded for their undergraduate program, but what about their LLM, and especially its career prospects?

I have just created the lawyrs group for the 2009-2010 class. : http://www.lawyrs.net/groups/179/durham-llm-class-2009-2010 :)

I have also found a group on Facebook, however not very active : http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=15524518421

Hi mate, I have also gotn tis email: We have considered your application for the above course, and would like to inform you that we are recommending that an offer of admission be made to you....

What do yu think? will get the admission? have you alreagy got it??

Please let me know! so exciting, but I do not want to make my hopes to high

I know nothing but my personal case, and I got the final offer two weeks after this email. I would say you are 90% in ;)

Hello there!

I recieved my letter as well. But I'm still hesitating...

What do you think is the best between Durham and Queen Mary in London??

Thanks
