Everyone starting at Leeds Met this September post here

they are doing this in the Leeds uni forum, so i thought i'd steal the idea and change it abit. This forum is abit of a mess so i figure we can get a summery of who is where doing what in september. Copy and paste this and fill it in :biggrin:

. We'll leave discussions to other threads, but doing this can help people who are wondering "is anyone doing xxx course, is anyone staying at xxx etc" so they can PM them if they wish.
