Well so far I've done extremely well to avoid my 100th post, an avoidance I can't rationally explain, but I've been doing it so well that I feel quite silly taking a step closer to the number... However, it can't be helped, I went to Royal Holloway university yesterday and I have to write something about it otherwise I might just forget about it completely...
Although that does seem extremely unlikely since the building makes such an impression. The university manages to combine both the magnificently old aspects of the architecture, courtyard and a beautiful library with the irresistibly sleek, convenient apartments and new department blocks. It was far too easy to get carried away with how nice the whole campus looked and forget about what I was actuallly there for - the physics. Since it wasn't an open day the department wasn't open but we found the building anyway and well, I didn't get much of a feel for it but it was impossible not to image myself living on the campus. Its probably a perfect distance from home and transport links seem pretty flawless..
I guess I've managed to get down to about 8 universities now which I know is still too many I know but it is slightly closer... I want to see them all before I decide which shouldn't be too long now! I've finished my second draft of my personal statement (well second not including that awful thing I posted last!) so I feel a little less worried at the moment...
