Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)So do you think I should upload new one???(Original post by Jale)
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. -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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.(Original post by cazzy-joe)
So do you think I should upload new one???
Might want to get there nice and early so theres no queue and they are less cranky

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)
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? :/

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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 ((Original post by Mouse Potato)

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!)Last edited by WaterfrontWAR; 01-09-2011 at 16:54. -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)Yeah, not sure what accommodation yet though. Theyre all pretty close together though.(Original post by TheTallOne)
Are you living on campus this year? -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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:(Original post by WaterfrontWAR)

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 -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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).(Original post by Mouse Potato)

I went to Birmingham more in my first year than second year, might be different for others. -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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(Original post by TheTallOne)

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)So long as you're paying the guy money to sit on his coach, he really isn't going to mind.(Original post by Mouse Potato)

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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(Original post by GarethBrown)

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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...(Original post by Drizzzy)
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?
The main difference between college and university life is the excessive clubbing, drinking and partying....which is what gets everyone pumped to go uni

Re: N200 or N201Hardly any difference. The university regulations state N201 - for administration purposes it's probably that, but it's a trivial point anyway.(Original post by corkg)
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! -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)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.(Original post by corkg)

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)
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) -
Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)Not on campus, but you can check here(Original post by Ollie901)

Re: Ask Absolutely Anything! (+FAQ)That's a load of watts but yeah(Original post by mrigs)
Will I be allowed to use a 2200 watt hair dryer in my room?
"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."
