Am at college at the moment.
I will catch up with all of y'all journal entries once I have internet back (my dogs broke the dongle)...

...but anyway, guess what!!!

I have received a conditional offer from Liverpool John Moores University to study Wildlife Conservation... WHOOP WHOOP! They require me to get MMM...and I'm predicted MDD...YAY


Am so happy. And yes, I'm going to go here... Not Writtle, not Hartpury, Not Glyndwr.... Liverpool xxx



TTFN

The more I think about Hartpury the more I want to go... I just wish they offered accommodation as good as Liverpool John Moores!! >.

Ok, so, I've made a decision.
Though, being me, this decision will likely change several times.
But basically, I'm going to apply to study at Writtle College, for a number of reasons:

1. Local town and village and campus shops and bars offer better part-time employment. Hartpury offers virtually none unless you're foreign.
2. The courses and more diverse and appealing.
3. There is more choice of accommodation (none are self-catered though; only downside).
4. Writtle has had much better student reviews than Hartpury.
5. I'll still do my MA in Equine Business Management at Hartpury College, so going to two different places gives me a more varied outlook I think.

I'm still thinking of visiting Hartpury, but I know it'll confuse me again. I've heard A LOT of negative things about Hartpury College (all except for equine facilities, which have had no end of praise). Writtle has had almost no complaints.

Decisions. Decisions.

And do I want to study Equine Sports Therapy BSc? Yes.
Will I? I've no bloody idea!!
Why? Because I really like the sound of Equine Breeding and Stud Management BSc!

You guys should know by now that I'm incredibly indecisive...

...so it'll come no surprise to you that I can't decide...


Writtle College or
Hartpury

Writtle is in the lead on a lot of aspects (accommodation and employment around area are better)

but Hartpury is also really good (world renowned for equitation, and it offers self-catered accommodation).

Everyone says Writtle is much better than Hartpury for student social life, which is very true. But I'm ignoring that aspect as my deciding factor because I hate city life and clubbing and drinking for nights on end. Rural is the way to go people! =D

Also, I'm not sure I want to study Equine Breeding and Stud Management. I mean, I love the subject and it'd be great to study and will be useful to me one day... but employment for careers related to that come few and far between. Eek!

I really like Equine Sports Science (Hartpury) and Equine Sports Therapy (Writtle), though, and I always have. They are in high demand and the pay is fantastic...
And because the majority of people in that industry are self-employed, the money is really REALLY good. And, though this is shallow, I refuse to be poor! I'm poor now and I don't like it lol.

I really want to study Equine Business Management and Hartpury one day anyway, as a masters.

Hmmm... so maybe I should study my BSc at Writtle (where there is more opportunity to find a part-time job) and then study my MA at Hartpury.

I'm visiting the two universities after the New Year... so maybe it'll just come down to the 'feel' of the place. We'll see...

AWESOME!! I love how wriing it down suddenly clarifies things and makes the decision for me.
Guaranteed I'll think of some other college or course next month, lol XD


Typical me xxx
