Goldsmiths firmers - 2011 Entry!

Why is Loring so popular?! I'm questioning my choices now!

Dooon't, I will join you in Chesterman hopefully
I have that as my first, then Surrey House Annexe and then Loring.

Just emailed my application, Loring Hall first choice! Anyone else the same?

Yeah I am coming towards the end of my gap year with an unconditional offer for English. Can't believe how **** it has been, just been stuck working in an office for most of it, been able to read loads though . What are you looking to do at Goldsmiths? What are you predicted/ got at AS?

Why is Loring so popular?! I'm questioning my choices now!

As my mum put it (yes my mother), it's right next to a large pub. So when you feeling like putting your drunk self to bed you can just roll from the pub to your bed, sleep it off, and roll right out and into your classes.

ahh, awh i wanted a gap year, where did you work?
English and Comparative Literature
I'm predicted AAB, but retook the one with the B and got an A x

Loring first as well! Then Chesterman and Surrey house annexe.
Haha my mum had such a big issue with choosing 'No preference' for same sex or mixed. She was like "all the boys will be drinkinggggg!!!"

thinking to firm for psychology

All the boys!! Haha as if! It will most definately be both! What did you end up choosing! I went for mixed sex.

Hahaha Indian mothers, what can you do? Parents still think I hate the taste of alcohol and I couldn't be bothered to tell them otherwise haha. I chose no preference cause it doesn't really matter to me. There's gonna be loads of other people to get know and stuff.

When are everyone's courses starting? Ive gotta to be there Sept 26th which seems pretty late and I know someone whose course starts on Sept 1st so I'm really confused about how freshers and orientation and stuff work!

Where does it say what date your course starts?

I believe it says on your track. You can also however find the term dates on the homepage. I am not sure how it is for us freshers though, as freshers week is a week before everything actually starts, if I remember it correctly.

Yeah I have been to my friends Unis where they have En Suites and it is sooooo much better than having to share a bathroom with loads of people. Loring is definately my first choice, I just like being in a place where something is always going on. What grades did you get/are predicted at A Level. Have you seen the reading list yet? I am a bit worried because I kind of do my own thing when it comes to reading :/

Bare too old for that sort of nonsense!

i'll be studying history. i can't wait. and 24 isn't old at all. i don't even think anyone will pick out the 'mature' students in a room. i am hopeless with knowing how old a person looks

will you be living in halls or do you live in london?

Glad I'm not the only OAP!

Did you include anything about being placed with mature students when you applied for accommodation?

I didn't. Did you? Was there an option to? I'm sure I read somewhere that they try and group people together age/course wise but I may have imagined that! I don't want to be stuck in with the 18 year olds!

Ah no I haven't applied yet. And yes I'm fairly sure that the staff group mature students together so don't worry if you haven't explicitly stated anything. I doubt you need to, I was just wondering is all.

Sure you won't be stuck with 'the youth'!
