Whatever is left presumably or I can send you in the direction of local student landlords with properties very close to the uni nearer the time :smile:

Okay thanks, lots to ponder on.

1) If they offer the course then I assume people do.
2) There is an SU shop, no idea if it does ingredients but there is an Asda not far away.
3) Most accommodation is on campus.
4) There is a lot of space and green areas in and around the sports park.

Something like that may already exist when you get there so I'm sure you will enjoy getting involved :smile:

That's it AFAIK. You can request a change but they may just say no. You can rent privately close to the university if you would prefer.

Presumably they provide facilities to wash and expel waste - is there much more to it? :tongue:

You are force-marched five at a time, naked into a bath made of the bones of ex students who refused where you are made to wash each other and sing folk tunes for the amusement of the older boys lest they beat you with sticks. :lol:

Do you use bicycles from halls to campus?

Are bicycles common transportation alternative for students?

Where can we buy used/new bicycles?

I have a few questions - what's the food at Park Eat like? And also, if anyone knows anything about Windsor hall, do you know if the bathrooms have been redone at all?

They are very common indeed, a bike is a very useful piece of kit, especially if you've overslept a bit!!
