UK Law 2006

If anyone needs advice on applying to universities in the UK, I am happy to help.
I recently applied for Law in the UK and have been already been offered places at Durham and Nottingham universities. I should get more replies as the weeks progress.
Addendum:
Have been offered a place at...
Sydney appears to be only marginally better academically than UNSW.
