    I travel from campus to walsall quite a bit as my cousins live there. The quickest/most convenient way is by train I think, as the university train station is on campus

    Ok everyone,

    I'm doing physics Msci, but am a bit worried since I still have not got an offer of accommodation.

    People can add on facebook if they want (Thomas Zhang, standish, united kingdom)

    Hope I can meet you all there anyway,

    Your accommodation offer can take around 14 days so don't worry

    thanks a lot, I just know that a lot of my friends already have accommodation sorted out, but I guess different universities take different times.
