Lancaster University Firmers 2014

I'm not sure about that, quantum mechanics is one thing but politics is a whole new level of complex :P Hope you enjoy it

I must admit the whole flats idea appeals a lot as well. Get to know a few people really well, nice places and isn't the most expensive. Hahaa, seems we'll get on at the bar then!

Grizedale or County, and yourself?

haha, yours sounds like a whole new level of complex to me!I'm sure we'll both have a great time, not long away now is it!Where has this year gone already?!

That's what i was hoping too, great to get to know people and have kitchen parties!But like you said, not expensive which is always nice when you're a student. I'm sure we will, bring on freshers week

Ahh i did think about County myself, i just more than anything want to be in Bowland. I really like where it is on campus, the rooms looked nice and i'm a big sports nut so i really want to take part in the founders tournament. Do much sport yourself?

Grizedale have bbqs so I'm sold!

Tell me about it...feels like sixth form hasn't lasted half as long as it shouldve XD
Grizedale have bbqs so I'm sold!
I am/was/trying to get back into being a swimmer, fingers crossed I'll have the time at uni. So whats your sport?

Lonsdale also has Barbeques

Boo Lonsdale Although, must admit, i will be jealous of the bbq's!

Hi guys

I have an unconditional for Maths/Study Abroad which I firmed about 12 months ago! I'm on a gap year at the moment, in the USA (but I'm from England). Just wanted to introduce myself, and hopefully get involved with this thread a bit! I think I'm going to apply for Bowland or Furness (standard self-catered - I've lived in boarding school for the last 8 months and couldn't care less about sharing a bathroom )

Anyone else? I'm so excited for Lancaster!

Hi! I've firmed a conditional for Maths Though I'm thinking of applying for Grizedale or County Close to looking at Furness though (On the visit day I heard the college bar is good for real ales so... )

I know what you mean, when i was at college, it flew by in no time, i miss college!Oh well, uni will be awesome!

Oooh i like the sound of that...Think i'm still gonna stick with Bowland! But i do love a good BBQ.

Ahh thats good, what type do you do, like stroke/distance...I'm not hugely knowledgeable about swimming if you hadnt noticed!Yeah i'm sure you will! I was told about kayak water polo!It looks so much fun! But i tend to stick to rugby, football or squash really, a nice mix.Can't wait to get there and play much more regularly!Not too long left now really is it!

Are you on a gap year then? That it will be, get's better and better the more I hear about it. There's a real range of people going to which should be great.
Short to middle distance sprints, but I was the laziest swimmer ever, the whole healthy diet/strict regime did not work, surprised i got as far as i did... Was there meant to be a comma there or do they actually do water polo in kayaks?? Now here's where my knowledge falls short (I know nothing about sport). Do you play for a team?

I've kinda had a few gap years!haha but it's about time i got back to education and followed my dreams!That's what i was thinking, i can't wait to get there, i totally agree, can't wait to meet everyone...and get drunk!

haha oh dear!You should definitely try it again at uni though!There wasnt meant to be a comma, i've been informed they play it in kayaks, youtube it or something? Looks fun! They wear helmets though so must be rough! Not anymore for any teams, i was playing with Preston Grasshoppers (rugby) but i needed a nose operation so i've been out this season. Football i used to play with work and often in their team, i'm more of a defender or keeper and squash, just my friend and i every week, get a good game from him! Have you seen the list of societies?! Theres some awesome ones!

Hey guys,
i'm a first year at lancaster studying Mphys theoretical physics, living in County townhouse 94 and I am the social sec for the Mountaineering club. If you have any questions about anything at uni i can help, I know i had a lot.

Hi there,

I'll be studying environmental chemistry and I harbour an ambition to become involved in astrochemical research. Saw my dream PhD the other day - analysing the atmospheres of exoplanets within our solar system. My question to you is... is there a group or society for those who have extracurricular interests in astrophysics/chemistry, cosmology, astronomy etc?

Incidentally, I was looking at joining the Mountaineering Club. I most certainly want to take advantage of the climbing wall on campus.

In my personal opinion Trevor (Furness bar) isn't really anything special (although I suspect desdemondata will have something to say about that ) but a good bar for real ales would be Graduate Bar (Herdwick)

Wow, how've you filled the time if you don't mind me asking?
Now that sounds fantastic, I'm definitely trying that! That's a shame, are you picking it up again at uni? Squash is great for stress relief I must say..
Nope I haven't, can't find it...any good ones?

Ahah thanks for letting me know - definitely makes me feel more confident about removing Furness from the list to whittle my options down to two So you have to EARN the good stuff?
