    Re: (Shared) Accommodation Oppertunity in Coventry.
    I have also been thinking about renting a room supplied by "Study Inn" but I think that there are better options out there
    Me and 2 friends are looking for a house to rent in Coventry and we are still searching for more persons the more the better xD rent is cheaper and i also think that is better to be with more people around. We don`t have much money so this option is perfect for us.

    We found many web sites offering houses for rent in Coventry but we don`t talk about that yet because the most important thing for us now is to pass our exams xD
    Well they are very cool ppl they don`t use drugs at all ( drugs are not so common in my country xD )

    Oh awesome haha, where are you from? And how are your exams going anyway?
    And I'm kind of nervous whenever I'm in the UK, with it being the drug capital of Europe and all that nonsense. But I guess I'm just being stereotypical, which is wrong of me.

    Haha, hate to shock you :P But UK has the highest drug user av. of All EU nationals. with something stupid like 8 in 10 people aged between 16 - 34 having used cocaine xD
    And I finished last year, just took a year out to train and what not. I finished with high grades though. Studied forensic sciences (hence my interest in the UK drug statistics).
    How about you, what are you studying? It's awesome that you're from Romania, My ex was Romanian, great person.

    Sorry for the late reply.

    A fellow South African that's going to be studying at COU in September. I've already got my Bachelors degree and will be doing a Bsc next. I am strongly considering study inn being from the mother city I would like the study inn type accommodation however I'm weighing it up with being far from home and wanting to make new friends. Its a massive investment the exchange rate ZAR-GBP is substantial.

    Sorry for the late reply boet, I've been busy as hell making plans and what not. Where abouts in SA are you from? =)
    I'm no longer looking for someone to share a room with, I've opted to use the halls of residence but it is always beneficial to make connections before I get to Uni. What is your Bachelors in?

    No problem I know how it gets. I have a Bachelor in Business Administration. I'm in jozi live in Sandton where is SA are you? What made you choose halls of residence instead? I'm thinking Trinity or Study Inn. Have you organised your study VISA I'll get the ball rolling in June.

    Ah, my study visa isn't a problem. I am in the fortunate position of having dual naitionality due to my mother being British. I decided to go with halls of residence simply cause it's less hassle and y'know sharing is risky business, To my mind anyway.

    I'm from Alberton in Jo'burg! That's lekker man we could have met up sometime if we had known we'd both be going to uni haha, I'm in the UK at the moment settling in for Uni. Gratz on the Bachelors aswell. Nice to know I won't be the only one surrounded by the Larnies of the UK eh? =P

    I'm not in coventry right now, I'm currently spending time in my mothers hometown and just training keeping myself fresh. I think you will like the uni, it has quite an impact when you're stood in the centre haha
    Speaking of travelling over, when you head over (in september, if you decide to come here to uni), how much would I have to bribe you to get some dried mango, biltong and dry wors? Missing the home comforts man
    Hehe

    Eugh tell me about it. But on the plus side you'll get to see how Lax UK customs are =P. Two pathways "nothing to declare" or "items to declare". You just stroll through "nothing to declare". No joke.

    Enjoy it, it had me laughing my ass off first time I came over haha
