    Ah I'm doing Maths with Economics, almost the other end of the spectrum compared to English Language

    And no not yet to tickets. To be honest I'm not exactly raving like some :P I'll go to buy them in the week if there are any left I'll go to the events but I am more a mellow tea drinking person myself.

    Hahah I haven't bought any tickets either, none of the events really appeal to me, the freshers fair looks the best if you ask me hahah.
    Glad to see there are other people around my house that aren't that much into partying as I seem to be the only one in my house
    can i come too!

    Where is it best to apply for accommodation in Sussex- either for general living or for medics- in people's opinion?

    Hey, no Sussex send letters on when and how to apply for accomodation around March. You are then given until 1st August to apply to be guaranteed a place proving it is your first year.
    Hope this helps

    its extremely unlikely that you would not get offered East Slope.. majority of people don't want to live there!

    Brighthelm is nice

    Apologies if this has been asked a million times before, but how likely is it that I will get decent accommodation (or any at all for that matter) if I go to Sussex as my insurance?

    You are not guaranteed accommodation on campus and most likely you will not get it. However Brighton is full of student accommodation to let so you shouldn't find it difficult to find somewhere to live. Also the university will not abandon you as they do help you to find somewhere to live.

    I'm really torn between Brighthelm and Lewes phase 1 :/

    Brighthelm seems to be perfect, but there are only 5 per house and i'm worried it wont have an atmosphere

    Lewes has 6 per flat, which seems more sociable, but not as good facilities

    any advice? I'm also considering Park Houses, but i'm worried they may be too rowdy

    I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post about rooms available in Brighton, but it's worth a try!

    We have an £87.50 per week room with double bed available in 4 person house just off Lewes Road (near Sainsburys). One of our housemates is off on placement next year leaving us 3 guys with a room to fill. We're a fairly sociable bunch and hard working (mostly). We're currently studying Digital Media, Biology and Outdoor Adventurous Activities. The house is located on Riley Road and room is available for uni year starting Sept 2012. If you're interested feel free to contact me on here!
