thanks little noo! have u thought of leeds uni or was teeside nearer to you?? i feel im restricted to which uni i apply to, as leeds is the only one i know with deafstart service.(where they provide interpreters for educational purposes in leeds area only) so really dont want to go to york uni after my bad experience there, although its my local and brilliant uni in terms of social life!! i asked dlc to send me info but they told me to wait till i hear from leeds uni. fair enough. thats great about starting immediately, claire, i cant wait! dont get much stimulation for the brain in the office!
