OPENING MY A-LEVEL RESULTS

[@rainbowfuchsia1]

Congratulations for amazing A levels! Go to Barcelona, you should go if it's only fear holding you back. It's a fantastic city and you definitely seem like you don't want to go to Durham.

Is that your house?!!! It looks like a country mansion, complete with Aga. Anyway, my advice is to go to Barcelona if you're able to. The life experience you will gain, apart from learning Spanish fluently, will be huge. I spent 12 years living in Germany and the experience changed my life for the better, and I can still speak fluent German and write it very well, too. Addendum: Spanish also opens up practically the whole of South America to you as well as Spain itself.

[@youcannotspeaktomeanyhow]

So you learnt fluent Germany in a year without any prior experience?

[@SuperLittleTyke]

@@youcannotspeaktomeanyhow Yes. Within two years i was promoted to a salaried position as technical translator. But i did have prior knowledge. At home in England I had taught myself from a book "Hugo's German in Three Months" and listened to German radio late at night on long wave (NDR, WDR). When one is determined to learn, it can be done.

Maybe go to Barcelona during your gap year, visit the uni you’d go to there and maybe try spending a couple weeks out there seeing what it’s like

[@rosiew8639]

The university of bath has a really great International Management with Spanish/French course. You’d probably really suit it having done economics a-level as well as that would help with the management side of it. You also go on a year abroad in third year, where you’d likely become fluent as well. I go to Bath uni and I love it, the city is really nice and the uni is great, loads of stuff to do and sports teams to join etc. Doing a course with a year abroad might be better as you have a small taster of living there rather than committing to the whole three years.

Hey! CONGRATULATIONS on your results!! You did amazing🥳🥳! I don’t usually comment on videos but i felt the need to haha✨ I go to Durham and personally I kind of “regret” to some extent coming here. I chose this uni based off university rankings etc and didn’t go with my heart/ what I would have truly wanted… so these past 2 years haven’t been the uni experience I envisioned (ofc covid plays a big factor!!) ✨My advice✨ would be to do the option you are most interested in/ go with your gut feeling (which sounds like Barcelona) but equally if you get offered a more suited course at Durham and feel it’s the right uni, go with that! Everything will work out in the end 😊. I hope this hasn’t put you off Durham it’s definitely got MANY pros but equally I feel it’s “vibe” is suited to particular people…just like any other uni!

[@paulaannerowden1226]

Wow, many congratulations on a fantastic set of grades. I studied business and economics, best decision ever. Now working in banking. Maybe use you gap year to visit Barcelona, get the feels and then see where your heads at. It’s a massive decision. End of the day, like you said it’s a large chunk of time to study so do what is right for you 🥳

[@isabellapetch5107]

This year has really outlined the difference between private/public/grammar and state schools. State schools under-awarded the top grades significantly this year as they were unable to take a holistic approach due to no online school over the first lockdown, so grades were based solely on final mock results. Just another way to largen the state-private school inequality gap

[@jodiewaite5370]

Congrats! Durham is a beautiful, prestigious University and I'm sure you'd have a wonderful time there, but it wouldn't be a huge cultural difference from what you've already experienced as a boarder. I'd also strongly advise against doing a course you're not interested in from the beginning. University will be the best time of your life if you do what makes you happy, so do what you really want to do and apply for that business course! 🥰 Also, I'm in Scotland, and all the business and languages courses at the universities in Glasgow give students the opportunity to go abroad for one year, so I'd actually recommend applying to unis where that's an option for you and then deciding whether you'd like to do your full undergraduate abroad or just one year. You could then have the best of both worlds without making a big commitment to study abroad for the full 3 years 😊

[@nancyhuang7647]

You should definitely go to Barcelona, go on an adventure! And enjoy your gap year!

[@ruticilla]

Watch other peoples KZbin videos on studying in Barcelona- message them for advice maybe. Visit Barcelona in your gap year - go to the uni, get a feel for the place, find the student places/hang outs, chat with the students - get tips and advice .. Congratulations on your fantastic A-Level results!!

[@heatherstarr1468]

On your gap year go to Barcelona for a month or two and experience living there. I used to live there and the lifestyle is very different to visiting on holiday. And while you are there, you can visit the university and find out more about the course and the campus etc

[@terratrodder]

Great job on your A-levels! If you are still considering, seriously think of Barcelona. That whole region is so amazing, so much history and beauty. I spent a few years living and exploring all of western Europe and Spain and Italy were my favorites. And you are young, go out and explore!

[@kaklok9088]

Go to Barcelona !!!!!!! Choose your favourite subject cause you will be facing it for so many years

[@chloestopa-hunt5028]

Congrats on your results! I get the impression Durham might be a bit ‘small’ for you if you’re already looking outward at bigger cities and dreams before you even head to uni. Nothing against Durham, of course, but for some people it will feel like a big change/step up in maturity (first time away from home), and for you, it isn’t. With your long experience of boarding I think you could potentially succeed in doing undergrad studies overseas, especially if you spend some of your gap living there and getting to know the place x

[@rnsc8342]

Well done with results. Picking a university and course is always difficult - too many unknowns till you go. From what you say you need to find out to what extent Durham needs you to specialise in the languages side. If you want to look at a joint majors course to see what thats like try googling Lancaster Management and Spanish studies. Comes with an overseas year on a quick look.(Not on commission, just went there for something else and its still good at joint majors.) Other options exist, and other factors from do you like the campus ,clubs and housing , to job prospects. If you want a top Russell group uni both Durham and Lancaster are in it. JP

[@YTashangel]

First of all, congrats! Now, on to the topic about University, If I were you I would travel to Barcelona on my gap year and don’t worry about studying abroad cause lots of people do it and they feel completely fine after a few months. You would be able to meet your family on breaks frequently, I feel like you live in the UK so you could just use a train ticket Home.😊 Anyways, whatever you choose I wish you the best of luck!!

Hi! My friend is also doing modern languages at durham (not spanish unfortunately) and im doing it elsewhere. I'm very nervous about even leaving the house on my own some days, so being abroad on my own is definitely a stressful thought. But if your course does a year abroad then i would absolutely go for it, i know it's gonna be very new and nerve wracking for me but i need to face my fears i guess 🙈 it'll be very safe too, the uni will make sure everything is in order. I know some courses like business do a placement year and some have abroad options so have a research. Whether you stay at Durham or decide to go to Spain i wish you luck!

Congrats! Lol at you not drinking the champagne and giving it back to your mum hours later. Watch some Jack Edwards vlogs of his time at Durham to help you get a sense of what it would be like. A four year languages degree is not bad as you get the third year abroad. Doing your whole degree abroad would also be so much fun, but would Barcelona Uni be in Spanish? Are you that fluent? Another option is Minerva University (see Unjaded Jade's vlogs), you do each term in a different country, starting with their headquarters in San Francisco, and there's an emphasis on getting real world experience in business in each country too, so you have real placements to put on your CV. Buckingham University offers two-year degrees if you're keen to get uni over with quickly, including a 2-year degree in business management, and then you can do a masters the year after instead of being in the 3rd year of a degree (or get on a business graduate programme in some swishy company).
