There is a lot of merit in the notion of offering unconditionals to reduce the intense pressure on A-Level exams (especially as not everyone performs well under exam conditions). The main objections I’ve seen seem to be around tying that unconditional offer to making the university your first choice as essentially a level of bribery.
OFS will in all probability ban them, eventually.
Excellent news, pleased for you all.

I used Nottingham halls of residence pricing as a benchmark and accommodation pricing was pretty much on par.
The only place she was interested in that we had to rule out totally was Ravensbourne College in London. Hall prices were at least double anywhere else.
Brighton could well be the best city in the country for student life - I’m sure she’ll love it there Mark.

My mother is out of hospital and recovering much faster than expectations; she’s walking about the house unaided. It seems that the stroke has only damaged areas that can be easily recovered from. All of the scary things you hear about strokes have not happened to her. Thank fuck.
