    But its still horrible. People literally pick-pocket you. Ive seen it. But on the bright side you get a FREE ride.
    Easy way to avoid that, put your valuables in your front pockets, then they practically have to feel you up to get anything from you.

    What can I do to prove I can pay for tuition when I enrol on the 24th if Student Finance are yet to acknowledge that they've received proof of earnings?

    If i'm coming by car on moving day, Where can it be parked?
    One lecturer I talked to said something about opening up a staff car park but he didnt know any details.

    Yeah, I never pay on bendys if I'm only going to be on it for a few minutes. Or at all if it's after like, 9pm.

    When you first arrive you can park outside the residences or near them (depending which your in) to unload. Then you move your car to the staff car park. There's not much space so expect to wait a bit.

    I'm in Pooley so I guess it's a longer wait as there's no way to fit 400 or so cars infront of the building

    Nope, and tell them not to worry. I filled an entire 7-seater to the roof, and had to sit on half a seat because of the amount of stuff.

    There's an HSBC cashpoint on campus, though I'm not sure where the branch is. Tbh though you're living next door to the City, the area is filled with banks.

    No, there's a Barclays on campus, not sure where the nearest Natwest is tbh, but as I said to Ozzy it shouldn't be far away.

    Not too sure, but there are several banks located in Stratford, just one tube stop East on the Central line.

    Well, which building are you in?

    There should be space for one somewhere, we had on in the hall in Maynard House.
