The Official University of Birmingham Freshers 2011 Thread!

I prefer pubs too Haven't bought the Fresher's pack because in the event that I can't find anyone who wants to go the pub instead of a club, I'll have lots of things which need sorting out anyway, or I'll find a society evening or something.

Ah I love pubs! There must be more of us.

Did you get the freshers pack? I would prefer pubs too!

and I'm one of them Pubs ftw

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, thanks again for all the help with A2 lit altho i did enjoy doing A2 texts better than AS. It'a all over now yayaya!! At Birmingham, we have compulsory modules then the rest is choice (yay). I have to read "Les belles images" by De Beauvoir before i start. They still haven't made my module choices yet, but i probably won't focus so much on literature as i'm not really that interested or good at it. Btw, that carribean lit module sounds good!

LOL, you must love/hate french literature but then again you must love it seeming as you can't help but choose it in your course. You are certainly talented when it comes to english lit thats for sure. Don't worry i'm sure you'll be fine in your second year. Any YEAR ABROAD....i recommend the cities Paris and Madrid...but that's just my cliche opinion

Yeah, i am kinda doing spanish, i spent most of the summer teaching myself and intend to do some classes while at Uni perhaps at the Languages center. But, i'm actually gonna be doing French and Arabic. Exciting time! i hope...i'm trying to stay positive as much as possible.

Unfortunatly, i'm not living at Birmingham uni...it costs like £96 a week (shocking) so, i'm commuting...i only live in stafford which isn't far off like 30-40 minutes away. So very much living at home. But on the plus side, i can save money for other more essential things perhaps.

Thanks again and see ya!!!xxxx

Is it pubs or clubs that Broad street is mainly made up of?

And apparently the Mailbox has some nearby?

Lucky - I have always wanted to learn Arabic!

I will let you know what I decide about the year abroad!

Commuting is alright! It does feel that there is something missing because you don't live there but if you immerse yourself in uni life you won't miss out

hey...anyone doing French or/and Arabic or is on the BA Modern Languages course!!!!! Please reply, i feel alone with that reading list of expensive books...grrrrrr

im staying in elgar court, you?

I am a mega **** and lost my passport last night (my only form of ID) so until my new one arrives on wednesday I am going to be veryyyyy lonely in the evenings if everyone I know pisses off to the freshers events
anyone know of anything going on that does not involve being ID-ed on the monday and tuesday night?

Wow, that's an expensive piece of ID to lose :/ They're like £70 to replace!

Can't you just use your ID card from the university, seeing as it has your photo on it?

I've been researching and there are definitely some decent pubs nearby.
