General City University Chat
Thought it's be good to get a thread for some general chit chat and informal discussion between the students. Seems like there's quite a few TSR users on here of this years intake so you might find it helpful to have somewhere to discuss things before and even once freshers week starts.
Here's the Freshers week schedule:
Sun 21st Sep (NIGHT) - Welcome Party
Mon 22nd Sep (DAY) – Meet the SABBs
Mon 22nd Sep (NIGHT) – Ice Breaker Party
Tues 23rd Sep (DAY) – International Welcome Party
Tues 23rd Sep (NIGHT) – Quiz Night
Tues 23rd Sep (NIGHT) – House night
Wed 24th Sep (DAY) – Treasure Hunt
Wed 24th Sep (NIGHT) – flirt! (Sportswear them
Thurs 25th Sep (DAY) – Local Tours
Thurs 25th Sep (NIGHT) – Pressure Cooker @ fabric
Fri 26th Sep (DAY) – London Safari
Fri 26th Sep (NIGHT) – Karaoke
Mon 29th Sep (NIGHT) – Comedy Night
Tues 30th Sep (DAY) – Freshers Fayre
Tues 30th Sep (NIGHT) – Quiz Night
Tues 30th Sep– POP TARTS @ Sound Nightclub
Wed 1st Oct (DAY) – BBC Tours
Wed 1st Oct (NIGHT) – flirt! (Skool Disco)
Thur 2nd Oct – Postgraduate Welcome Event
Fri 3rd Oct – Freshers Finale
Knowing the new SU president, it's good to see he's stuck to his word and cut out a few of the club nights for some more interesting events. Last year, it was just endless club nights which got tiresome, even for the most hardcore ravers. Not sure how far they're into building the new SU yet.
Also, keep an eye out for City University on University Challenge, they raped Hull Uni to go to the second round

Im not going there (too young). But wow that week looks fun! 
Don't want to start a new thread but do City have a football (and other sports) teams? Am starting at CASS next month and was wondering about this earlier.
Watch for the trials sometime in the first couple of weeks.Good news, will definitely get down to them. Think I read they have grounds in North London, is that right?
.
Wow the fresher week seems intense, definitely looking forward to it!!!! ok so i have few questions!!
1. when are the cass freshers generally coming to the uni?? i m an international and will probably get there on 19th/sep, (too early, too late)??
2. how long does it take to get to the uni. from the finsbury halls( walking) ?
3. Is St. Pauls cathedral a walking distance? how much? (got friends around there)!!
ok, thanx in advance!!!
oh oh & do we have internet in the halls, whats the speed like??

The first day you can move in is when many do.
2. how long does it take to get to the uni. from the finsbury halls( walking) ?
5 minutes max
3. Is St. Pauls cathedral a walking distance? how much? (got friends around there)!!
10-15 mins. Not far away. Definitely walking distance.
oh oh & do we have internet in the halls, whats the speed like??
Yes but you have to pay for it (100 pounds onetime fee). It can be very fast (non-peak) or disgustingly slow and constantly disconnecting you (peak). No p2p filesharing without changing the ports it uses.

If you're a Mac user, then there is actually a way of downloading things. I'd say, get to know people, download stuff for them and charge for it, one guy did this last year, but towards the end. Could easily make a grand.
looooooool! i thought i was going to uni to study! to work hard, get internships/placements during the summer in the capital and come out with a good degree and some actuarial exemptions. but if the first 2 weeks are anything to go by, it looks like the schedule is made by some hard-core clubbers.
partying, clubbing, nightlife is not my thing at all; it certainly isnt the best way to get to know people, at least not decent ones. and im guessing most of the asians are hindus/sikhs/non-religious because that schedule isnt what i had in mind for the last 2 weeks of ramadan!

At least 50% of the events there have nothing to do with clubbing which I think is more than fair. Especially in comparision to the likes of UCL/QM who seem to be pretty much all clubbing nights. Of course, no one forces you to go to any of these, there will be others like you that aren't into this sort of stuff and will keep the socialising during freshers week mainly in halls and the common room.
Nah, plenty of asians who kept inside halls and the common room during freshers week because of Ramadan IIRC.
Freshers week sounds great but not quite sure how to intergrate with everyone, will be living in Charles Morton Court which is about 15mins from Angel and from what i've been reading is very very dry and doesn't have that many freshers either
