Im stayin in Discovery Heights. Gonna go in on the 1st of Sept and pick up my keys.
Not to sure bout cutlery & duvet cover, they aint on the lists that they sent out on the welcome pack so I assume that we will need to take them. Cutlery, plates, etc is prob sumthin that you will sort out with your flat mates when they get there.
I went in about a week ago and there were quite a few people still there over the summer so wont be alone if you go down that early.
Apparently Unite set up some activities the week before freshers so you can get to know your new flat mates. Sounds like its gonna be a laugh.

Watch out for the rats!


They eat people don't you know.

A fair amount of people live in the UNITE buildings over summer, my flatmate being one of them. People will start moving in from anytime between now and freshers :wink:

Come to think about it, I need to book my train ticket :redface:

Are you Car Park Side or Road Side? I'm sharing with 7 people, non smoking,Car Park side.Even though I'm a first year, I believe I am mostly staying with second years.Which is a advantage in a way.Hopefully they will be able to tell me which clubs are the best on what nights, Or they could just screw over the fresher instead.Discovery Heights is a great location.Just across the road and your in your lecture.This means at least a extra five mins in bed.My main reason for chosing Discovery Heights.I do think the internet rent is a bit pricey tho.
Anyhow Gotta run

I believe I'm in 306.So thats good that you know someone when you first come down to plymouth. I will be a loner, so as you said I hope we dont miss too much of the fun stuff. The posts on this website suggest that freshers week is quite lame compared to other uni's, but at the end of the day it is what you make it.What are you going to study by the way?.

That's quite freaky.I will have to see if i can spot you out.
I get paid on the 15th as well,a friday. Always a dangerous combination:smile: .I'm studying Civil Engineering.
Have you had any information given to you about freshers week? Like where you have to be etc ? Just that i havent heard anything yet, and i will be gutted if I miss out on anything big.
Hoping on joining the basketball, surf and rowing teams when i'm down there. just hope that they are all not on the same day.

haha. my first memory of discovery heights was exactly that. when i moved in last year, i had been there for about 2 hours and was having a beer in the kitchen when i noticed a few police cars out back. seemed they were splitting up the hobo that lives in the salvation army bit from a random female hobo that was spitting in the guys face!

word of warning, the internet access in d. heights is absolutely atrocious and if you actually want anything done you have to do it at like 4am.

I know I'm in a diff building (Alexandra Works) but sometimes we have the same problem with the internet...I know its shared between 30 or so people but if you pay for something you generally expect to use it.

Funny that over the weekend the internet connection was awful, as soon as the helplines opened Monday morning it was fine, and has been great ever since - I wonder what'll happen at 5:30 on Friday..
