Does anyone know if the uni swim team go on tourr?

Posted from TSR Mobile

I've been looking to see if the netball team go on tour! I think the basketball do so hopefully they all do? I'm not sure though

I saw a tweet if a distanr friend which mentioned tour so i was hoping so! Think im getting a bit ahead of myself but would absolutely love to be involved

No problem! Yup, I've done my application, it's Henry Price for me! (fingers crossed...) Hope so, if you see a short red-head looking slightly lost in September, that'll be me

hahaha i think most people will be lost in September! see you there!!

i'm having a complete change of mind about my insurance choice, i dont wanna go there at all any more! praying i get into leeds because its my first choice and i absolutely love it, but if i dont, do i have to go to my insurance or can i either go through clearing or resit my a level and apply next year??

Can anyone suggest which would be the best halls for self catered, shared bathroom accomodation? Think I might choose between Lupton and Montague Burton, if anyone could give some advice it would be very helpful

Big sis was at Lupton so I can tell you about that. Its not as nice looking as some of the other halls, and its a little small BUT it does the basics fine and I personally think (as does my sister) its value for money. Its no worse than other cheap halls I've seen at other unis, and the toilet ratio is decent imo (1 bathroom to 4/5 people)
It's about a half an hour walk to the campus, but its around £1 for a bus to campus (one way) and £2 to the station/city if you don't like walking In terms of going to the city, there are night buses to Headingley up to like 3AM but taxis are pretty cheap if you team up anyway despite the extra distance (sister says if she gets a taxi for 6 its like £1-2, cheaper than the bus)
Plus its right next to a Sainsburys (as well as other places like KFC), and they're opening a Morrisons right next to it too so its not going to be a trek to do your shopping. And being in Headingley, its near lots of other pubs/bars etc. the Otley Run's in Headingley! as well as restaurants and things too.
Also worth noting my sister gets on very well with her flatmates and another flat and they often have like group dinners/parties or something, so it seems pretty social despite not having a common room or whatever. Maybe just a little more effort to knock on people's doors and something lol.
I can't think of anything else lol, I guess it depends on your personal taste i.e how far you're prepared to commute, if you want a a big room/bed etc.

I know nothing on MB except for its much closer to the campus, but more expensive. So I hope this helps

Finally took the plunge and insurance-d Leeds for Geography... though my firm requirements are looking very difficult at the moment, so Leeds is important for me!
Now to make an accommodation choice...

what geography course have you put as your insurance?

Leeds.
Cambridge is my firm.
Are you a geographer?

Yeah! I've applied for BA Geography with Transport Planning

As much as Cambridge is a very good uni, I absolutely love Leeds and can't wait to start!

anyone else firmed geog? I've applied for henry price too
