well thanks for all the comments so far. I have been to look around John Moore's, and Abertay (and I live near London - what treks eh!).
Abertay I didn't think the accomndation was satisfactory (2 miles away with no net access) even though I loved the people there and the course looked quite good.
John Moore's.. didn't particualrly like Liverpool, the guy who took us around was really happy etc. and seemed really nice - just didn't like the city!

If offered, do not under any circumstances accept a job in High Wycombe - if you do so without taking appropriate precautions you are likely to find yourself falling under the Curse of Wycombe, which will prevent you ever leaving again.
Phew, I was offered a job in High Wycombe last year! Lucky escape! [wink]
hi, could some give me some advice, coz i can't discide weather to do EE or CS and was considering doing a joint degree, do you think it would be more benifical to pick one and do a single or to do a joint.
thanks
thanks

have you considered working for 1 year? I'm not sure what your financial situation is, but it may be beneficial to save up some money also you could spend the year learning what you will be studying on the degree course, perhaps giving you an advantage when you go to university because you would have studied alot during the year.
you could always spend the year studying a few courses from Game Institute ;D

If you can get a gap year placement at a games company (especially programming), that gap year will be worth as much as your whole degree put together. Experience counts a lot in getting your foot in the industry.
I'll vouch for Northumbria University also, I'm on the same course as annabelles_fury :)
I'm currently on placement at Atomic Planet Entertainment.
