    I've always owned toshiba laptops and they've been great. Our loan laptops are Toshiba's too.

    Just download AVGFree and Malwarebytes and you'll be fine.

    I think half the female population of UWIC will be having computer malfunctions.

    If i get in ill be getting a MBP too

    It's not just the ladies who break things, guys do too! I think by the end of their time here, every single student comes to the help desk at least once. In the case of you guys, it'll be daily for the first few months it seems!

    It's with cardiff uni

    On the plus side, there will be a newbie there in my place who won't know all the quirks of our computers there, so they'll be even more confused by you!

    I am not officially studying Complementary Therapies and living in Plas Gwyn from September. Received all my offers through this week!

    Is anyone going to get a Metrider bus pass thing? I'm trying to figure out if it'll seem worth it or not..

    It works out cheaper than buying a pass from Cardiff Bus directly and works on any bus in Cardiff, not just the metrider buses. I'd say unless you plan on walking everywhere it probably will pay for itself over a year.

    Aha love how I put I'm not studying instead of now, but you got the picture.

    Ahh I see well that's alright then, just wanted opinions on if it seemed worth it.

    Congrats to all you freshers. Shame I won't be there to fix all your computers and answer all your questions when things break in the first week!
