    Computer Science Bsc Newcastle University
    Hey, I was just wondering whether anyone else is set to study Computer Science at Newcastle Uni in September? I have tried looking for groups and stuff on Facebook but I haven't really found anything so I thought i'd write this...it would be really nice to get to know people on the course before it begins!

    Hi! Was that the accommodation you wanted? I haven't been told about my accommodation yet as I have to wait till next Thursday for my results before I know I've definitely got a place! I really hope I get in as Newcastle looks like such an amazing uni haha! Did you do A-levels or college?

    It was the one I originally wanted but not so sure now lol. Yeah I went to college and my unconditional came through a couple of days ago. I agree the university looks amazing, so its just the wait now Good luck with your results.

    Congratulations!! And thanks, I hope I get in cause I don't want to go anywhere else haha! Wish I did a course at college now cause I wouldn't have had to do other subjects then!

    And nice to see other people doing the course too, I was beginning to think it was just me haha! :P If I get in I'm hoping to stay at Marris House cause it's close to where we have to go for lectures and stuff! Hope all of you are as excited as I am!

    Congrats everyone! I've applied for accommodation but am fairly local so probably won't get it. Would like to get to know some people before the course begins so if you want to add me on Facebook or something just PM me. :-)

    My name is Beth Barwick so feel free to add me on Facebook! So excited for Freshers week now! Would you say £75 is a good price to pay for the wristband for the week? I don't really know if it's cheap or expensive haha! Still going to buy one either way cause it sounds amazing and I don't want to miss out haha!

    I think it depends on how many of the daytime activities you're interested in, from what I've heard
    I think I'll be buying one anyway, just to get involved and try stuff out. I'll just think of it like a festival ticket...but a week long one....with less live music xD :P

    I think it's a bit steep, last years was £55 I think! Fair enough if you do a lot of daytime things but it's a bit unfair we can't just pay on the night etc. Then again I don't think they got NUS cards last year so that extra £12 is probably factored in. I'll probably buy one still though because I'm already loving the sound of Pandamonium never-mind the rest of the night events.
