Re: University of York Firmers 2012!YES. They are everywhere. There is **** everywhere. But they are kind of cute, we feed them from our flat so then they gather outside the flat below, fun times. Apparantly they get worse in summer as they breed. They have started too already at the end of last term, it sounds like someone is making really horrible orgasm noises really loudly. And definitely not in a good way.(Original post by stac4321)
Are the ducks really that big of a thing at York? I've heard loads of people talking about them! It sounds like I'm going to be living in an Alfred Hitchcock film... -

Re: University of York Firmers 2012!This is realy useful thank you(Original post by alwatkins1991)
There are a lot of stereotypes at uni about James/Alcuin being posh. I think this is due to them having the higher rent bands, so you do get rich kids there. But at the end of the day, you shouldnt judge people until you meet them, and you never know who is going to be in your intake. Next year, alcuin might be super sociable! The only thing I would say is that do not pick your accomodation based on your course, unless it is based on hes east. Lectures are all over campus, and it is a short walk to anywhere on campus!
Are there really steriotypes of each collage? I'm torn between James and Vanburgh, but if I went to James I'd gor for N Block, because it has the cheapest accommadation I think But it seems maybe a bit isolated form the rest of the collage..?

Re: University of York Firmers 2012!There isn't really stereotypes, except those I have said of James and Alcuin, but even then, they aren't really big stereotypes at all. N Block is a bit isolated from the rest of the college, it is also absolutely awful. If you want cheap accomodation probs go for a different college! The walls are super thin in N-block because if they made them any thicker it would be against fire regulations apparantly as the corridors are so narrow. That being said, I know a few people in N block and they claim its not too bad. I think I heard something about it being renovated but I'm not sure. All money is being directed towards Hes east at the moment (annoyingly)(Original post by stac4321)

Re: University of York Firmers 2012!sorry, I meant cheapest rent band! And it was my preferred block out of a, b and c(Original post by Chr0n)
I doubt that, it is after all in the same rent band as Block A, B and C.
