    Haha xD you applied to the most expensive one :P
    Accepted offer for Computing Science, and i've applied to Lakeside.

    Well since we had to rank it in order of preference, I did it as:

    1) Lakeside
    2) New build 7 bed
    3) High rise
    4) New build 5 bed

    (Seeing High rise on my open day was frickin' disgusting...dirt all over.)

    It's super cheap because it was a filth haven as I saw on the open day...xD
