You can ask away on this thread - I'm kinda hanging out here :tongue:

I've never been but I imagine that's a pretty stunning part of the UK to go Uni :smile:

We have an awesome results playlist on in the office at the moment... grooving at our desks :wink:

i live there, have done all my life so i know the area really well it is great for geography. i couldn't see myself anywhere else really.

i managed to get my first question answered elsewhere but my second question is:

on the new students portal for exeter uni under things to do before you get here there is a section titled 'pay your fees'. it says this: 'Your Welcome email will detail any tuition fees you need to pay and the associated deadlines.' i thought that fees were paid directly by student finance so i am really confused about this now

also, when does this welcome email come through usually?

Super! Those are the new Victoria Halls right, they have a second set of Halls now - you are so close to uni there... practically a hop, skip and a jump away! Looking forward to Freshers?

It's be great living so close to the Bristol Road too - lots of lovely places to eat, and some good pubs too. You will have a brilliant time!

I'm quoting in a couple of knowledgeable members of the team who should be able to help you with the finance query :smile:

The welcome email could come any moment from now - universities send them at different times, so it's impossible to give you an answer really. Sorry I haven't been much help here have I!

Let us know if you have any other questions though....

Good luck with all of your organising before freshers :h:

Hello - have you (I am assuming you're a UK or EU student) applied for and been accepted for student finance? I seem to remember that until you enroll, (which you tend to do when you go to uni, although, some unis allow it to be done online, IIRC) it may ask for fees.

When you enroll in person, you take your student finance letter in which they scan. The letter you take in is the one with student finance payments days, which includes your fees.

I think that message is a standard message. Until you enroll, they won't know how you're paying or who is paying.

And congratulations! :biggrin:

I'd like to point out the epic smarties nail varnish.

yeah i have been accepted for student finance, i got the letter which tells me how much i am entitled to and it says on there that the tuition fee loan is paid directly to the university and that i should take that letter with me when i register, i assume that is the correct letter?

Yes. There should be a bar code type thing on the letter. This is scanned by the uni to confirm attendance.
