You're probably right, every time I leave the county I become conscious that the accent isn't as subtle as I'd hoped :colondollar:

I'm in Furness College, how about you?

It won't be too bad every time you meet someone you will be asked, what's your name? what are you studying? and where are you from? it will just be automatic by the end of fresher's :P, I just have a weird accent you can only hear the northern part in certain words, it might be quite neutral I guess. Might stick out a bit with all the northern accents though.

I'm in Grizedale :smile:

Yeah, I've heard people get pretty sick of retelling their life story after Freshers :tongue:

Yeah, that's like my accent, it only emerges in certain phrases, like you said, I'm sure it will just be a good icebreaker :smile:

I'll be doing physics! :smile:

I'll be coming from Cheshire so it will only take about an hour; dad will be driving me up.

Best journey I've had was one hour between turning out of campus and pulling up outside my house near chester. Normally it's about an hour and twenty.

Back on topic:
I'll be studying MSc Volcanology and Geological Hazards.
Originally from near Chester, but I spend most of my time in Lancaster.

My dad is quite a quick driver so when we went quite early in the morning to the open day it only took us about 50 minutes. :biggrin:

The other three times we've driven between the two it's taken about 1hr 30 mins because it was tipping it down. (From Chester too)

Must have been averaging like 80 or 90 on the M6 to get that kind of time? :wink:

I'm coming from near Ipswich, so a similar sort of direction as you. I feel like it was only (though i use the term loosely) a five hour drive or so for us.

I'm studying English Lit with Creative Writing.

Oh really! I suppose there was just a lot of traffic when I went to visit then. I'm not sure I'll be coming back regularly to visit family given the distance haha, looking forward to starting?

Me neither - no sneaking home for the weekend to get my washing done!

Yeah, it's going to be awesome, but I'm definitely a nervous kind of excited... How you feeling about it all?

Haha definitely! Though that'd be ideal, I think I'm going to avoid ironing as often as possible. Yeah, I'm having similar feelings really, mainly excitement, though a little anxious about living independently! What college have you been admitted into? :redface:
