    They will reject it if they don't like it. Regardless, if it doesn't work its on them to print a new one, and they can do that immediately.
    So do you think I should upload new one???

    Not if it's effort. If the system hasn't rejected it, then it's probably fine, and if they find out on the day that it isn't, then they can actually just take a photo there and then.

    Might want to get there nice and early so theres no queue and they are less cranky

    Does anyone know how easy it is to get to (and more importantly, back from...) club nights etc in Birmingham? Doesn't seem like there are many goth nights around the uni itself or Coventry but I know of several in Birmingham which isn't that far away. I heard talk of some kind of night bus service, but I'm assuming that's more for things where there are a decent number of people going? :/

    The uniexpress* only seems to go to gatecrasher in Birmingham... I've never actually taken it but have been out in Birminghamquite a few times.getting there is no trouble, 12 to cov and next train to new street. Getting back is a taxi (
    Fair if there are 5 of you ffor a full taxi) or hang around in new street for the first train back (not recomended if you have lectures at 9 the next day!)

    Are you living on campus this year?
    Yeah, not sure what accommodation yet though. Theyre all pretty close together though.

    Ah, thanks. Looks like I'll be trying to grab some people to come with me, otherwise that taxi's going to be pricey for just me on my own! (or I'm going to be super tired the next morning... is it okay to hang around the station or does it get nasty at that time of night?) D:

    From what I've heard people tend stay on campus for first year anyway? In which case maybe something I can worry about more in my 2nd year. :3

    theuniexpress.com went to Gatecrasher, Oceana and Risa last year. It's about £15 including coach there and back and queue jump entry - they also do trips to Kasbah in Coventry and Smack/Evolve in Leam for a bit cheaper. The cost of travel to Birmingham via bus-train-Brum-train-bus is about £10 (or a bit more) so going by coach it removes a lot of hassle (and takes less time). One alternative might be to get the bus there and back and then go somewhere else (if the night coincides with another event).

    I went to Birmingham more in my first year than second year, might be different for others.

    Is it okay to do that? I was wondering, but thought it might seem a little cheaky of me to hitch a ride and then slink off elsewhere? Is it something that other people do anyway? And the night I'm particularly interested runs every 2nd Friday of the month, having a look at the facebook page for uniexpress it looks like there should probably be a bus then? :3

    So long as you're paying the guy money to sit on his coach, he really isn't going to mind.

    Okay, thanks! I more meant if other people minded, if I was eating up a ticket and space for someone who genuinely wanted to go to the thing we were supposed to be going to! But I guess your logic is right, and if I've paid it's okay. :3

    What is there to do at Warwick that apart from clubbing and joining the clubs?

    Like what kind of things do friends do? Go to a football pitch and kick around?

    Well at pretty much every uni, life outside of clubbing and societies is the same as life during college - just chatting, hanging around, going to bowling/cinema/etc, and football like you said...

    The main difference between college and university life is the excessive clubbing, drinking and partying....which is what gets everyone pumped to go uni

    N200 or N201
    Hi,

    I have received the welcome pack today and it says my course code is N201. However on UCAS and the WBS website it says N200. Which is right?

    Many thanks!

    Hardly any difference. The university regulations state N201 - for administration purposes it's probably that, but it's a trivial point anyway.

    Like TheTallOne said; it doesn't make any difference at all. My course was L300 on UCAS but the whole time I've been at Warwick I've been L301 - (then L306 but that's a different story!) It's most probably N201, but generally it doesn't make a single iota of difference to anything regarding your course, module, exams, timetables etc. It's just administration.

    Is there any NHS dentists knocking about on campus or nearby?

    I'm in agony one of my teeth and apparantly I aren't registered at the local dentist anymore so all he could do was rip it out (its towards the front so unbearable pain is the lesser of the two evils atm)

    That's a load of watts but yeah :yy:

    "The use of personal electrical
    grooming appliances within the kitchen and
    indeed other areas, such as hair straighteners will
    be allowed. However, it will be the responsibility of
    the student to ensure that they are maintained in
    an efficient state; in efficient working order and in
    good repair, do not present a risk of harm to others
    and/or compromise fire safety."

    Sorry if this has been asked, but: how are the fresher's events for non-drinkers? Worth shelling out for the pass?
