UCLan 2012-13 Mature students thread
I noticed in the other threads here that there seem to be a fair amount of mature students starting at UCLan in September so thought it would be nice to have a separate thread to discuss anything and everything pretty much

I'll be 24 when starting in September anyway, opted for a big type 3 room at IQ Kopa, as long as I have my own space to myself I don't think it'll be a problem sharing a flat with what could turn out to be 4-5 18 year old's. -

I'm doing motor sports.
Well at IQ they have three types of rooms mixed into flats, Type 1, 2 and 3.
Type 1 are the smallest, type 2 are a bit bigger and type 3 are the biggest.
All the type 1 rooms are leased by the uni and dealt out through uni accommodation application but the type 2 and 3 are leased through IQ themselves. -

I'll be 24 when I start. I've just accepted to live in flat 103 in iq kopa. I rang up the accommodation office to confirm I was gonna be with people my own age before I accepted!
Nice that you managed to get that confirmed! I hope I'll have at least one flat mate that'll be a bit more mature. Got a type 3 room though so I'll in any case have lots of my own space =) -
Re: UCLan 2012-13 Mature students thread
I must be getting really old since I didn't even see this thread until now!
I'll be 22, soon turning 23 when I start in September, doing Forensic Science & Criminal Investigation. I've just been offered a room in Moor Lane Halls, flat 86 if any neighbours happen to stop by
Hopefully I'm gonna be with other mature students like I requested, might actually ring them up to check before I accept. I'm a bit jealous of all you guys in IQ Kopa, it looks amazing but it was sadly way over my budget - maybe next year x)

Re: UCLan 2012-13 Mature students threadI'll be in room 6, doing children's nursing though but I hope we can help each other find our way to those first classes because I don't know Preston at all(Original post by Sammi_Watson)
