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.

Magic.

Cheers.

Just keep in mind the rooms aren't huge so you'll have to pop your fridge under your desk or something.

I'll tell you it was my home for the year, and obviously the best :wink:

I want to go back. The porters are awesome and I met some of the most incredible people there. It's the closest to the atrium and they have a wii downstairs :p:

I can only hope you get a room there as they might all be allocated by now :/

I want to go back :frown:

But I'm looking forward to my flat which will have cupboards with locks and a freezer... :p:

2 minute walk to Tesco, 5 minute walk to town.

Thinnest walls known to man. I would never advise anyone to live in Union Street/Lower Bridge Street, etc.

Don't worry about enrolling. I can't re-enroll either until the 1st and it's not a disaster if you don't do it until the 2nd or 3rd. The biggest thing you'll every have to worry about missing is registering for seminar classes - the good times fill up ridiculously quickly (I'll be getting up at 9am every day of Freshers weeks to make sure I can get the best class times).

For your timetable, what modules are you doing? Name or code is fine and I'll see if I can give you a decent idea of when you'll be in lectures.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeep.... and when do you do that!?!? :s-smilie:

lmao I actually have no idea about any of this :frown:

lol I'm gonna arrive soooo un-prepared like... I'm actually the biggest fluke in the world hahahaha.

As for modules- 2 compulsory ones are FRE9A1, and SPA9B1.
The 3 I had to choose and rank in order of preference were LIN911, EDU9E1 & SPC911. The EDU one is def education :p:

lol!! The other 2 were language in society and social something or other.. but I can't remember which is which lol :p:

Normally they open up seminar registrations after your introductory lecture, but some open up earlier. You select your classes either through WebCT or you have to go and sign up in person.

I'll have a look at your timetables in the morning - I'm just in from work so pretty tired.
