Seems that my DD has done all she can for now, except for work exp diaries, questionnaires, bmat and the rest. Is is Christmas yet?

I will also admit that the travel time to Exeter made me glad she didn't want to go there!

Coming from a little village makes Exeter a metropolis to ds! Perfect size for him. My driving time to get him there is a solid 8 hours. We are hoping the plane from Newcastle will work for him most terms (if he accepts and gets the grades).

Another rural one here. Even the quietest, leafiest campus would be a huge change to DS.
a solid 8 hours Wow Dunlurking , I wouldn't have discouraged him if he'd shown an interest but I can't deny I was relieved DS didn't want to look at Exeter or Bristol, simply because of the distance.
Some uni accommodation has to be vacated in the Christmas and Easter holidays. Worth thinking about this if your DC is going to be a very long way from home.
It's a 3/4 hour trip to pick up DS1. That makes up to 8 hours of driving on a return trip. He can use the train for weekend visits but at the beginning and end of each term, even without vacating his room, there is a lot of stuff to transport. He could take a car but there is nowhere for students to park.

Thanks Gloria and Decor. We re in London too so Exeter could easily feel small. The contrast initially had some appeal and it was the first one we visited but she loved Leeds more. Great to hear your son or daughter is having fun there. On phone so can't look back to see which it was. What's the course?

[Dunlurking]

Thanks squirrels we'll have to think about what he does with his stuff in the holidays when he applies for accomodation. He might end up at Warwick, a lot more conveniant!

When I went to the parents talk at Durham the vice chancellor told us he had pretty blatantly discouraged his daughter from applying to Exeter because of the journey they would have had taking her there!

Business and Management
she also has offer from Warwick and I would prefer if she went there. But can't force her.
I hope she is going to listen to me.
It's closer and I think course has better job prospects too.
