    Possibly South Courts or the Quays. I wasn't a fan of the towers at all when I visited them, just felt a little bit claustrophobic. Yourself?

    I confirmed my conditional offer on the MSc. Finance and Management from 2nd October. I already applied for the Quays, I wanted to go to South Courts, but they did not offer that possibility to me... Is there anybody else who is going to live in Quays??

    Oh dear God, not another Leafs fan.

    On the other hand, I'm starting up an ice skating society with a friend (also major Leafs fan) next year, so look out for that on freshers fair!

    Welcome to all of you. If you have any questions that I might hold the answer for, go ahead.

    Unconditional offer for Genetics, and if I don't get the towers, I'll be really annoyed.
