Ask your room mate if they'd like to join in. Then - Nobody will be left out :smile:

*laughs* Yes, and I'll not have a roomie at all by the next evening 'cause they've transferred out... :P

I think you need to be a lot more confident than you are at the moment about Uni room sharing because it might not be as bad as you think as long as you do try your best and make an effort to get on with your room-mate.

This is because Mildert is superior.

Hell yes.

I'm actually really looking forward to it, despite how I come across. I'm just vaguely terrified at the prospect of living with other people my age, let alone someone in the same room as me. I'm completely unused to anything like that, being an only child. But I'm sure I'll be fine and enjoy it!

Which college are you at?

If you share do you get much space? Doing music, I am probably going to be bringing a full sized keyboard, as well as a huge collection of music books and things.

From Manchester? Ooh that's going to hard to try and shift all that :smile:

Thankfully I have managed to get a lift and offer to share petrol costs. The obvious advantage is being able to get straight to the college doorstep and it saves the whole railway to the college hike ...specially up the Hill :eek:

I am soooo looking forward to the Hill haha

Ive been to Durham twice to look around and each time Ive only got as far up as Collingwood before exhaustion kicks in (usually because ive been around town first). How much further is St Aidans/Trevelyan, out of interest? And where the hell is Hild Bede??

I didn't think it was especially when I went on the open day.

Hatfield, all going well!

Hmm, I'm limiting myself to what books I take, Angus. I've decided (aside from academic books) I'll take between five and ten. And that's quite a wrench for me, considering I have about twenty that I read on a regular basis. But I'm hoping there's a library (what uni city doesn't have a library?) that stocks the rest of my favourites. :smile:
