Lol, we are very few and far between! And not many appear to have applied to Hild-Bede


Hey, congrats to all of you with offers!
Would you count ancient civilisations as history? I was going to take archaeology and history but they dont do it here :frown: Anyway, ancient civ sounds really interesting!

Are any of you going on the 24th/25th?
I have to get a train up which takes about six and a half hours! God, what i do for Durham! ha

Haha, the train to Durham takes about 20 mins (if that) for me, because I live in Newcastle. So if you have any questions about the city please ask!
Also, I think I'll be going on the 24th/25th. I teach drum lessons on a Monday night so it would make sense for me to go then. Only just got my letter about it so I have to send that back pretty soon...

Thankyou! You're so lucky, darn distance!
I hear Newcastle has got the UK's largest shopping centre?
And perhaps i shall see you on the day!

Are any of you guys wondering what we'll be doing for the 'student organised entertainment' (I.e all those who are 18 go and get wasted ha?) But i won't be 18 so will i just have to stay behind and drink (according to the leaflet) "soft drinks and tea":erm:? (Not that i'm intending to get wasted)

lols no1 will notice if you go with the 18 ppl, i will be 18 but will have no ID due to a lack of drivers license atm. I am slightly wondering what it will entail :s-smilie:

They took us out to Loveshack where they were meant to be checking IDs on the door and were very proactively kicking people out, however they didn't check my ID or anyone in our group's. The college bar wasn't checking IDs either (guess they assumed everyone there was obviously 18, probably not likely to be served there if they know there is a bigger open day going on)

Newcastle does have a large shopping centre, though it's south of the river so technically it's not in Newcastle. It's called the Metro Centre and it is a beast of a thing. And yeah, look out for me. I'm 6'2" and my name is Simon. :tongue:

Do you know which open day you'll be attending yet, or...?

Congratulations on the offer by the way :biggrin:


I'm sure there are lots more history people...if not, then oh well!

I'm attending the 23rd/24th open day hopefully! I sent the form back a while ago, but haven't had any kind of confirmation. Hope it got there!

And thanks :biggrin: Congratulations to you too! And to everybody!

thankyou! exactly, i really should do some more work... :s-smilie:

I doubt it, since there are only 45 shared rooms in the whole college, and hardly anyone has to share when they actually live in. Not sure, though.

On my visit day I shared a room with one other (with space for a third in the room) in an ex-student room. However this was a physics only thing so when more people come they will presumably spread you out more.
Got my offer in the first week of January.

I will probably hang around for the open days, so I might meet some of you ... don't mention TSR in public though, you'll ruin my street cred :ninja:

Fail.

It's okay though, I'm over it. I mean, I would have loved to stay, but there are plenty of other things I can do ... if I don't get rejected from everything ... next year's prezzz will still do a great job, so no worries there. I'll be visiting as much as I can but sadly my family home is in Dorset ...
if anyone ends up staying in thorp building room number 3 please take care of it : )

There will be a kareoke thing but it's totally voluntary, then the reps will take everyone out to a club (probably Loveshack). Technically you shouldn't go if you're under 18 but, frankly, people do. Obviously if you're tired or not in the mood you don't have to go. Once out you will encounter other colleges on their open days and there'll probably be a bit of friendly banter/chanting to get everyone into the college spirit. If you fancy going home, you should tell a rep and they should walk you back.


Is there even any point trying to get into these places if you're under 18 and have no fake ID?
