2011 Freshers: Aston University

OP

Original post by fallenangel

Haha - sorry to hear that, things could be a lot worse though, Aston is a great university - well in my opinion anyway. I got AAA, and I can't wait to go uni - so many people didn't get in this year, so I'm jus feelin pretty blessed to have got pretty decent grades and got in.

Aww well done! What degree are you doing? I'm doing BSc Politics with International Relations :smile:

I know a few people who have done international relations and they loved doing they're degrees - a couple went to Aston and a couple went to Birmingham - so you will definitely enjoy it!

Pharmacy hopefully - have you got accomodation sorted?

In the process :frown:

I'm hoping for Lakeside or the new accommodation. Yourself? My friend is doing Pharmacy this year!

Haha - I had to get en-suite, the thought of sharing wouldn't bother me, but the thought of one of my flatmates leaving a 'surprise' - would **** me right over lol.

Yeah, I haven't started shopping :O I don't know why though LOL you?

what's the best accommodation? I got in through clearing, is there a good chance of me getting into New Build?

Also is there a football league within the Uni, where you get mates together and form an 11 a side team?

According to the Guild website there's a debating society.

There's no best accommodation really, people say there is but it's what you make of it. I wouldn't get your hopes up of getting into the New Build, it usually goes to first and final years.
