    Im guessing you only get it when you are confirmed as attending (i.e. got your results.) So if you're doing A levels you'll have to wait

    Mine's unconditional, and I want my get ready guide too! I think I read somewhere that you get it at the end of August, which is understandable because then they'll know which people are coming definitely, and it's probably easier to send them all out at once. (Which accommodation are you saying in?)

    Lol, yeah. If you look on the website there's a PDF version which will probably be the exact same as the one they send in the post, though. So you could just read that one instead I reckon.

    Ah, that's cool. John Lester for me. IQ looks really nice but it was already fully booked when I got my offer (went through Clearing..). Plus, I don't think I could've afforded to pay the initial £1.5k fees before my student loan came through.

    I remember only getting mine just before I arrived at Salford last year, so end of august or beginning of september sounds about right.

    Nah, don't. I'm sure there'll be tons of mature students around, so you'll fit in just fine. Your course sounds interesting! I never was one for biology though.. More of a physics person myself.

    And lol, me too! I finished sixth form mid-May so I've been doing nothing for months now... Only 36 days to go... Well, 35, since today is practically over rofl.

    Ahhh so you can't register until you get the guide.

    It says that the link is live from 8th so maybe they send out the letters from now..?
    Hopefully. I can't wait!

    I received a soft copy (.pdf format) of the 'Get Ready' guide last month. Isn't that sufficient :confused:?
