Re: Official University of Leicester Firmers Thread 2012
[QUOTE=fallenangel;36762070]Thanks for that man - you're arguably the most helpful guy on here, you answered all my questions on the Leicester Accommodation thread.
Despite not drinking, I do intend to make the most of freshers. Will you be at the uni when we start or are you finishing this year?
Thanks.
I will be there yeah, starting my 4th year, it'll be my final freshers so I intend to make the most of it! If you don't drink you'll have a great time laughing at your coursemates as they suffer the morning after, as well as the night before!

Re: Official University of Leicester Firmers Thread 2012ICT alevel is definitely one of the biggest mistakes I've made so far. Complete bull**** lol.(Original post by Wreemo)
ICT is a bastard in A level, friend of mine worked his head off but was all worth it for him in the end. Keep working hard and don't let the fact of a rubbish teacher distract you. Just get on with the work and you'll do fine
I'm not even sure myself on this layout of JoFo being bad for sociality but i'm just taking everyones word for it as everyone says the same thing that it's not the best layout :P Yes Beaumont is the area which is very green. Perfect for the summer!
Yeah I'll definitely put Beaumont down on accom. Thanks for that btw -
Re: Official University of Leicester Firmers Thread 2012Yeah an email to the masses would be a nice indication!(Original post by Manisha93)
Aww I hope so aha :') where you hoping to apply for?
Beaumont all the way for me, then probably JoFo (Yes I do realise JoFo as a 2nd choice is a crazy idea
)
Yourself? What course as well?
No way out of it now son! Hope you get your head down soon so you're in Leicester come October! It'll be wroth it in the end(Original post by GeeGaryJunior)

Glad I could help on your second choice. I might see you around if JoFo is largely in demand!Last edited by Wreemo; 16-03-2012 at 00:56. -

Hope we get our first choices - if it's open to everyone, I suggest people get a move on and get their applications in! -
Re: Official University of Leicester Firmers Thread 2012Accommodation opens for returning students (people coming back from years abroad and in industry who's mates have graduated and medics who intercalated and thus have the same issue) first, then for unconditional and conditional offers around the same time.(Original post by fallenangel)
Haha - I randomly signed in and saw that it was open. Butt waittt? I swear it was only open to unconditional offer holders?

The difference is unconditional actually book your accommodation now and confirm what it will be. Conditional offer holders fill it all in but don't find out where they'll be going for certain and confirming that until post results day; so you know exactly where you're going, can sign a contract, they know who to ignore 'cause they're no longer coming etc. Thus unconditionals rarely miss out on their first choice, -
