God yes. I quickly found out that personally, Law is quite possibly one of the most boring thigns I've ever done in my life, and in my last year of school I had 11 hours of philosophy a week. It was worse than that :P

I don't know anyone else on it yet. That being said, it's dead easy to get to know people, considering you're all in the same boat.


Haha! i can't imagine it would be very easy! Wow, well, as a fellow philosophy student, i understand your pain :wink:

Yeah that's true, we're all gonna be awkward and nervous, so at least we'll be able to chat about that, (and, well, alcohol helps!)

Do you know how big the course is? I can't remember how many places were available but i hope its not too large of a group.

I just had my residency offers email, and I can log in to SIMS, but I can't get onto the University Residences page to accept it! Have many of you encountered this problem? It's concerning, especially when the deadline's considered! Perhaps the site's being hammered.


Me and my brother can't log in either. Apparently it's at over-capacity? The deadline's Friday isn't it? :s-smilie: Hope it sorts itself out soon!

Looking on that website, it looks like a completely different wristband and freshers ball.

On the university one all the events take place at the union, where all the other ones are different clubs each night, including the freshers ball at Oceana.

Confused about it and what to do! :confused:

I haven't seen the strictly Cardiff Uni students one advertised anywhere. =/

Maybe the other one is for all the students in Cardiff? Like UWIC and Glamorgan?
I heard that buying the Union wristband was a waste of money and a lot of the people who paid £20 odd only went once or twice.

CHOICES CHOICES! Maybe just decide with your flat mates which one you're all going to and do that?

By the way, anybody else at Taly North, House T, First Floor, Flat 5 or anywhere near? I've so far met nobody near me! :P

Yeah I'm sure it's only for Cardiff uni students. But when everyone mentions the ball, I'm not sure which one they are talking about!...As you said, maybe I'll just wait till I get there and find out what my flatmates are doing. Although I'd hate for them to be sold out :s-smilie:

Urgh. Well I'm glad we spotted this now, saves one of us awkwardly buying the wrong ticket and being forever alone.

Haha yes you'll be all alone otherwise! How far are you coming from?

Great minds think alike! Should we get them now or wait until we find more roomies first?


I only live about 1hour 30mins away so if i do turn out to be the only person in the whole of talybont south, then i could always catch a bus home and come back saturday :biggrin:
Although the amout of stuff im bringing...it'll probably take me a few days to unpack :tongue: how far are you coming from...? :smile:

Well, i was gonna say that we should just be crazy and buy the wristbands now :awesome: haaa! buut...now im consused if theyre the right ones or not :facepalm: hmmm...confusion!!

Taly North House W, second floor, house 11... Anyone else here? This is my boyfriend's accommodation. He hasn't got TSR so I'm asking for him. I'm still locked out of SIMs and can't get mine :frown:

Has anyone bought the union freshers wristband for £25? I feel like I am the only one and am starting to get worried that I bought the wrong one. :s-smilie:

I can't actually remember. It was pretty soon after my offer. I know I have an offer though. They emailed me but I just can't see it! Have you heard anything at all yet?

Which editions are we meant to have? I think the only thing about editions is if you have a different one you'll always be on a different page to everyone else. Apart from that I can't think why you'd need a specific one.


I really don't think editions matter except when it's something like Chaucer, where spellings etc can fluctuate quite dramatically so your essays might be seen to include incorrect quotes
