My tips for all those going to Aston

1) take your passport, You NEED it to enrol

2) get a privilage card

3) take along along loads of passport photos

4) mix with the other side of your flat

5) when you return to stafford and laurence tower at night the main doors are locked, you need to use your key to open the fire exit. I remember being very confused on the first night not being able to get in haha

6) On the day you pick up all your course information, Was the monday last year, get there early as the ques are very long.

Thats all i can think of for now :rolleyes:

nice advice...

but how many passport pics exactly? i got like 3 more left.

and will a driving license do instead of a passport? i rather leave mine at home incase it gets lost there.

long ques=people to get to know aint it?lol
I just made about 20 copies of my passport photo on my computer on a page in Word and printed it off on photo paper coz I've only got one I look halfway normal in

You need 2 for enrolment I think. Do you need pics to join societies etc?

Driving licence wont do, it has to be a passport, i had to enrol a few days later after my mum sent it up

das weird, they should have.

it even says in the enrolment booklet a valid full passport or others such as birth certificate or dvla photocard driving licence or eu national identity card.

it says the identification has to match the details you gave them. ah well looks like ill have to deal with the passport to be on the safe side.
don't need pics to join socities.
