    cool. ermm i think it's fairly nice, there's obviously areas too avoid if you can. shopping is good, they've got most shops you'd want, lots of places to eat out, but the pizza hut was rubbish, they ran out of food when we want... not been out clubbing or to the pubs tho, but apparently very goood night life there, its not a huge trek from one place to another.
    doing sports psych, i guess your gonna be joining a few clubs?

    i reckon you can only join one team cos they all play games on a wednesday afternoon and some will be like hey you have to train and some will let you come fun. Societies are different to the sports teams right? they probs meet up and talk about stuff, im sure thats more causal
    Although im not sureeee just me guessing.

    you're coming from florida? how come, if you dont mind me asking
