I have a big decision to make now as I found out yesterday that I got a conditional place at York St John Uni for physio. The condition is that I need to achieve a B in my Biology A-Level but as I got an A for the first part them I'm hoping that this won't be an issue. I was a little surprised to receive the offer as I didn't think the interview process went that well but I'm not going to complain.
I need to decide now whether to do my physio degree in Aberdeen or York. (I've still to hear from Northumbria but the fact I've heard nothing from them so far probably rules them out). It's going to be difficult to decide as each have their own good points. York has the benefit of only being a 3 year course with all the fees being paid. It's also a very nice city and I can perhaps see myself living there. However despite it being rated as excellent for physio, I wasn't that impressed on the day visit. York is also twice the distance away from Edinburgh than Aberdeen which makes Aberdeen easier to come back home from especially for weekend visits. Aberdeen is a 4 years course which means that it will be more expensive in general. However I can perhaps get placements in Edinburgh whilst I was very impressed with the course and campus on my day visit there.
As you can see there are lots of factors that can influence my decision. I'm trying not to think about my Hibs season ticket, can't really base a decision on that although living in Aberdeen may make that easier.....
I guess I'm going to be spending most of my easter weekend trying to make that decision. Any help will be gratefully received.
