even if they give a duvet and a pillow ima still bring ma own. nothing like those lil home comforts is there? you can keep their pillow and duvet for ya friends who come and crash over in peoples rooms. jc, im sure once you get to know peoples you may be staying at their every now and then so dont worry about being a home student.

oh and i went to my first cheese night tonite at works in kingston, west london. foam gig an all. was quite an experience :smile: my suade shoes didnt like the foam though.hmmmm. bring on freshers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I take it you're in the 2nd year now?

What's the first year like? How quickly do you get into really technical stuff?

I got Cs in Business and IT this year and am worrying I'll be a bit behind everyone what with the 3 B's predicted grades we needed.

Also, could you tell me an example of an assignment I might expect to do in the first few weeks, so I know what to expect!

The pillow is crap and you dont get a duvet. i took a matress pad too to make the bed more comfy.

well you get 34% off rail i think.

adam im feeling the same as you because they wanted more grades from me too but they still accepted.

i got a feeling i aint up to uni standards in terms of education but im sure once you get going on the course itll be arite. i mean were bound to be taught the basics first.

you gota crawl before you can walk :smile:

Re: LONDON

The cheapest way of going between london and brum by train is the Birmingham Snow Hill to london marylebone service run by Chiltern Railways.

Snow hill station is closest to uni.

Go to http://www.chilternrailways.co.uk and look at the fares they do. its a bit tricky to follow but i believe they do a £15 ticket for off peak journeys, you'll have to read about it on the site but its the route my mates have used a lot to visit me on placement.
