Slightly off topic but along the same lines - I am starting Area stream at Hurn in July. Does all talked about above mean that successful Area bods for the next couple of course are more likely to be posted to Prestwick than Swanwick?
Who knows what weird and wonderful formula the college use to decide postings. From speaking to mates at Swanwick, they're still very short as well. I would hazard a guess that the majority would go Swanwick, with a good number going to Manchester before ultimately going to Prestwick. But I don't honestly think anyone would want to second guess the college posting policy.
