Southampton 2012 Applicant&#x27;s Thread

I didn't have a choice on Connaught, they ran out of your rooms! :tongue:

One of my mates was in Monte 2 and hated it so much she moved to GE. I pay about £107 pw but obviously get food included. (Full English, 2 course dinner) Not bad for £22 plus a MASSIVE room. You guys need to sort yourselves out, we never queue for showers - 2 between 16 (and yes we do use them daily :biggrin:

). Wouldn't waste my money on ensuite plus you have to clean them yourself. Sorted out next year yet?

Alright yh you have some massive room but your bed still small .... :smile:

And the food is not really really good if you want a healthy meal :redface:

P.S. But next year im torn between uni accomm or find one in town ...

Maybe we should set up a thread for this? Lol. We're looking at the moment and I know what you mean by more accommodation coming on the market now. (Thank god) We're going to stick around Highfield if possible.

Good idea especially considering the new Sainsburys is a few minutes away and same with the uni. A lot of our flat decided to get a house near Sobar which they regret now that it has dawned on them that it gets cold in winter and buses won't be free next year :biggrin:

From what i've read on here and from taling to tenants at houses we viewed, it would be a good idea to avoid cryers and tenant link. The latter was 50 minutes late for a viewing!

I think this convo should move to the Southampton uni chat thread lol :biggrin:

A Level:

If you have not studied mathematics and/or physics at A level then you will usually need a Foundation Year. Our offers are normally based on A level grades of between BBB and AAA depending on the programme you wish to progress to after the Foundation Year. If you have not taken A-Level mathematics you will need an aptitude for the subject, which may be demonstrated by recent study (e.g. GCSE grade of at least B, free-standing mathematics units) or by taking our Maths Test.

Just wondering if anyone knows but I got a letter about my offer/post offer open day etc, went online and it's the same day as my Newcastle open day (which I've booked flights for and can't change easily). It did say on the letter if you are unable to attend look at the website etc etc, so I'm assuming it's not like some of the post offer days sound as in I don't actually have to go?

Basically anyone know if I have to go or not? It's a Social Science visit day for Population & Geography :smile:

I don't think so. I would have thought that they're just trying to sell the uni to you. Why don't you phone them and see?

Hey guys,

Seeing as there are no official 2012 applicant's thread at the current moment, I've decided to create one. Post your course/subject, decisions etc.

I myself am applying for Biology C100. Fingers crossed!

To be honest, I don't remember receiving ANY more info.

But what you want is: http://www.soton.ac.uk/accommodation/apply/ You'll apply for accommodation from beginning of Feb using your Soton ID.

Im in Connaught, didn't want it as it's part catered but it's brilliant. Huge rooms if you go for the standard room without wash basin in Old Quad, the food is good, the JCR and bar make for a great social life.

So no info about reading lists or anything like that? Even more info on the different types of accommodation would be pretty handy. Seems weird they'd expect everyone to apply online :confused:

All the accommodation information is available online. http://www.soton.ac.uk/accommodation/halls/index.html
Not sure what's weird about everyone applying online, it's what all unis do. Thought it was very straightforward.

We weren't given a reading list as we were told to wait and see which books we preferred. Thought it was strange at the time but actually it's proved to be good advice.

Ah didn't realise they had maps of all the different campuses. Don't suppose you know if they have a map showing where each one is in relation to the University?

Just thought if people don't have the internet (rare in this day and age I know!) it could be quite difficult for them.
