University of Birmingham Accommodation

arghh, I've been chatting to a few girls who'll be in my flat over facebook, and they're all getting the silver ticket which I didn't want - it's too expensive! but I don't want to be a loner when they all go to the calvin harris concert! arghh :/

it's all good, you can come out partying with mee instead

I'm slightly annoyed, Ok mine went unconditional a day after most, But I applied in feb! And I'm registed disabled with them, and they said they had allocated a room for me... Hmmm :s

i want to knowwww where i am staying

two of my friends said they checked their accommodation status, and their application had been cancelled.... now they're really scared!!!

That happened to me! I emailed them and they said everything was fine at their end. However, I'm still waiting impatiently to hear something and rather worried that maybe it IS cancelled, and my paranoid side is saying its some kind of ploy

can I ask something ? Does anyone know how meal plans work ? I mean, I think I read somewhere they are only for week days, so what do we do on weekends, starve ? I really don't want to get a meal plan Is the food edible at least ? Can you eat as much as you want ?

I'm pretty sure the meal plan only runs monday - friday, so you have to buy food for the weekends! I'll let you know whether it's edible or not once i've tried it but i hope it's nice!! I think you get a certain amount of money loaded onto your student ID each week for you to buy meals with during the week .. i'm not entirely sure how much though!!

And meeeee Only people who get the bronze tickets are cool!

...

I know I'm not in your flat (or atleast that I know of!!!) but I've only got/ am getting a bronze ticket and I'm sure there'll be plenty of people who don't even buy tickets atall, so I shouldn't worry.

I'm so excited, although there's nobody from my course on TSR!

*waits patiently for accomodation information*

Ahhh poor you. Meal plan sucks. Honestly, the food is so disgusting, and I'm not even a picky eater. At weekends you've gotta get your own food. It's crap isn't it? Though they did introduce sunday brunches in summer. You have to pay with cash for those though. RIP OFF! Yeah and you can't go up and get seconds or anything like that, unless you wanna pay for it with your meal plan card.
Although, I have to say, I always felt like I had too much money on my card. It's impossible to spend 35 quid in 5 days. I'd say the only positive thing about meal plan is the fact that you can buy milk, yoghurt, fruit, cereal and salad on your meal plan card.

I may have to seriously take you up on that! WHY do they all want to see calvin harris?! I mean, he's ok for one song when you're clubbing, but I don't think I could stick a whole concert!

I haven't met anyone on my course full stop! I guess it is quite unusual :/ what are you doing?
