    I think I probs will just for the fact that if i want to go to something, i've got the option.

    By the way, I don't know if you've already sold that politics book, but I don't need it. My aunt's got a copy of the same one and the price is right - £0.
    Okay hehe :p: I'll find someone to take it

    The 'Apply for University Accomodation' link on the portal doesn't seem to lead anywhere at the moment. Has anyone else had this problem? :/

    I hate how the F pass has an entry time with it.
    I like to stumble into places around 12 o'clock or so :P
    I probably wouldn't get one either way...
    I had the same problem last year. I was in the union but not in Glow (I was waiting on friends who had to queue for tickets). My friends got in but I never.

    Waste of money.

    What does everyone think of the Freshers line up this year?

    I wanted another Silent Disco

    Don't go to Union events go into town. Dusk and Fubar will be packed out and a lot more fun. At least there were last year. I had a much better time living in town and socialising there than I did on campus.

    No one goes to Fubar (or Dusk) on Saturdays or Sundays because it's when all the locals are out (and it's £9 to get in Fubar on a Saturday night).

    You don't have to follow any list about where you want to go - find out yourself what you like and go. I hate heading out to Dusk on a Monday because it is ridiculously busy (and it's £3 to get it, where as you can get it Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday for just a £1) and it's not like Monday is the only night they do £1 drinks. I also don't like Sunday in Fubar as the music just isn't to my taste.

    Actually I forgot about Eva on a Sunday! Dusk is now closed on a Wednesday and Thursday so the £1 passes only work on Tuesdays. Saturday night is not actually a bad night anymore but Friday is still awful.

    They'll reopen Dusk on Wednesdays and Thursdays once uni starts back up - they'd be stupid not too.

    I dont know if they will and if they do they might not be as cheap. All the sponsored teams were told that their passes would only apply to Tuesdays now.

    When submitting pictures for my Student i.d, it only gives options to upload a picture, is there any way i could just send them some passport pictures by post?

    There used to be the option to do that. Let me have a look and see what I can find.

    You're not allowed a deep fat fryer.
    You're allowed a mini-fridge, toastie maker, toaster etc.
    Don't bring anything that's a fire hazard, like candles or Christmas tree lights.
