Hi, sorry, I have another question regarding the bursaries. When do they get paid? I thought I had read elsewhere that bursaries are paid by the University (pending entitlement) in February?! Thanks, again.

I had a letter saying as long as I fulfil the criteria mine will be paid in December.

Bursary is a one off payment in December, Scholarships are paid in two equal installments in December and February :smile:

Regarding registration, is there any deadline that it needs to be done by?

I know we have the official registration on the 26th, but if needs be could I do the on-line registration on the 25th?

I am going to be out of the country for 3 weeks and it is unlikely I will be able to do it until I am back from the 23rd onwards...

Probably not a good idea since the details for your Campus card need to be filled in at least a week before you go to allow them to process it all.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi, again! I wondered if you could give me a good approximate figure on the average spend in Freshers' week? I was told £700 last week................is this realistic?? I was thinking more £300 tops, not including £200 bus pass, £300 purely on tickets, eating, going-out etc etc, maybe to join societies too :dontknow:

Thanks, again.

I have no idea for a "normal" course tbh. Best thing to do would be to find the academic year dates (they're on the UEA website) and work it out that way. Sorry! :o:

Thanks, again.

Yeah I think 700 is way too much. Imagine spending that in a week!? :eek:

I think most people on here said £150-£200? I didn't really get that involved in freshers, and I don't drink, so my expenditure was about £20 :teehee:

To be honest, it's up to you how much you spend - after all it's your money! Some people I'm sure will spend £800, others will spend similar amounts to me :dontknow:

Although I've never spent that much in a month let alone a week :afraid:

For a 'normal' course, it's two 12 week terms followed by a 6 week exam period. Four weeks holiday at Christmas, and it used to be four weeks at Easter as well but from the calendar it looks like we only get three this year :frown:

Sometimes the term crosses over the Easter holiday depending on when Easter is, so like in my first year after Christmas we had 10 weeks, then a four week holiday, then two weeks, then the six weeks of exams, but last year it was just 12 weeks after Christmas then the holiday then straight into the exam period.

I'm not even sure what you would find to spend that kind of money on!

Champagne??? I feel a lot better now anyway, I don't have that kind of money to spend in the first week, but, having said that, I would probably find the money from somewhere if I needed to --- don't want to isolate myself in the first week :colondollar:

From London Liverpool I think it's an hour and half train journey, and it costs me £12 single with a railcard, booking in advance. I assume you mean getting home during the holidays rather than commuting!
