Hi!
I'm going to Birmingham City Uni at the end of this year to study Visual Communication. Who is else is going to be a fresher too?

Hi there

Congratz on your offer. I'll hopefully be going to BIAD to do Vis com too - I got a Conditional offer which I confirmed as my "firm" choice the other day.

I haven't done a foundation course either! Hehe.. apparently they don't accept many people straight from A level. (Just gotta get the grades now..)

Jennens Court would be the popular one. Its right beside the campus, but really expensive.

I've applied and got my place at a house in Hamsted!

[123456789abc]

yeah it says on the website that jennens court is fully booked for next year. Is anyone applying to the coppice/oscott gardens?

[amreeta :)]

I put down oscott gardens down as my 3rd and coppice as my 4th

Hey there guys. I was told that BCU booked out a certain amount of rooms from Jennens so if you want a room there just put it as your first choice when you apply for accom through BCU
My first choice is Oscott,then Opal then Jennens =)

[123456789abc]

does anyone know when the term starts? it says 1st of september on ucas but i'm pretty sure thats just the default date they put in for all courses.

[Kitty Pryde]

I think it's probably mid-September, that's when most of the contracts for accom start anyway

[Jeevz]

Usually the 2nd/3rd week of sept

The week prior is usually freshers, and for first years introductory lessons

[katethegreat]

As someone who's just finished my second year doing vis com photography and who stayed at opal in my first year...

firstly, DON'T choose opal, most unsociable place as to get to another block you have to go through about 4 different doors you don't have the right key to, and there's nowhere to socialise apart from the car park in the middle.

also... at the moment i only get about 1 hour of lectures a week, so maybe ask about the amount of hours you'll get as i hate spending £3600 on it let alone £6000 or whatever.

not to put you off or anything .

Hey guys! I've got a conditional offer from BCU to do BA Illustration. Think it's my first choice
