    Really satisfying seeing the sky get darker as the video went on lol, thanks for the vid! How many societies do you think you can handle on top of your course? There's so many to choose from

    • @pimbd
      @pimbd  4 місяці тому +2

      That’s a great question. It all comes down to how much work you’re willing to put in and dedicate towards them. I’d say if you want to be very involved in the societies and do a good job you should focus on 2/3. Nevertheless there are some people that do over 8 societies and still manage their time well so it comes down to your other commitments and responsibilities.

    Hi pim, just a video suggestion/request. It would be really nice if you can bring a master’s student and then you both can discuss the various differences in them (apart from acads)

    Hi, what do you recommend for transport in Manchester? :)) I'm not sure whether to get the 3 term bee network pass or not or what the best student travel pass is

      @@JennyWooz_Destiny_Wooz hello last year I purchased a stage coach yearly pass as most of the busses in Manchester are operated by them. However I did hear that they are merging with the beenetwork. I would suggest to purchase a bus pass once you arrive so you can see which bus routes operate on campus. But if things are still the same as last year I definitely recommend getting a stagecoach yearly pass

      Stagecoach merge with the bee network in January so they dont have a yearly pass and most of the buses that go past Fallowfield are stagecoach so I’d get the single term one and then get the bee network one after that

    First.
    I finish my levels this next year, and I've already written my personal statement as I'm taking As levels. I take maths chemistry and physics, but i found that accounting and finance is a better option for me and manchester is an optimal place for me to study. Ive watched so many accomodation tours and other things to do with the university and but im starting to worry about if they would accept me since chemistry and physics is nothing to do with accounting snd finances. would they accept me if i met the AAA/AAB requirements. Can you explain the process of applying and how long it took for you to get an offer with ur alevels and course?thanks

      @@jeminecraftjingle5643 hello, I didn’t study anything related to accounting and finance either but I still got accepted. My predicted grades were AAA and I think that is the typical offer they accepted. Sometimes they may required A level mathematics so you may need to ask them to confirm. I applied around 20th of January through UCAS and I think I heard back around 2 months later with an offer.

      Thats kinda similar to accounting and finance right since theyre both BA. What a levels did you do and what grades did you achieve. Also i have a few questions about the course. How often did you need to do essays/presentations(group/solo)? Cause i suck at both and how different is it to write notes down during class cause atmosphere looks alot different?Thanks
