This is basically what I was saying :wink: IMO better to be off campus and I was pointing out that it is cheaper, even with travel taken in to account.

If other people are doing maths that means I don't have to, so that is totally cool. I'll stand outside your room at weird hours of the morning shouting and asking you to do complex long division for me (I mean, yeah I have a calculator but where's the fun in that). Haha I know lots of people are going there, I'm just dead paranoid that I'll randomly show up and have no friends. Not that I'm melodramatic or anything. I'm sure you'll get a place!

I'm doing Classical Literature & Philosophy :biggrin: SO EXCITED for September now.

"Nicolaaaaaa. What's the square root of 789879? NO CHEATING. I CAN HEAR YOU PRESSING YOUR CALCULATOR BUTTONS."

I don't know anyone specifically going to NHC but I figured I'm probably not that likely to be literally the only person. And at least I'll have talked to you before I go, so that's one person! (I'm sure you'll get in :biggrin:)

I'm half really, really excited and half nervous as hell. Which is silly because I've not got all the results day pressure (I do not envy you having to do that, it's so tense!), but I keep worrying about making friends, I'm a little socially awkward with new people XD but that's what alcohol was invented for, so it'll be fine! I hope. I'm soooo looking forward to getting my room and putting all my stuff in it and making it look awesome (though I don't know how big the rooms are at NHC? I have a lot of books :/)

that's cool then :biggrin: I didn't go to any of the official applicant days because...I don't know why, actually, I'm clearly just a bit stupid. But OBVIOUSLY it's going to be the best place to live because....it just will. Because I'm there! yeahhh! I've only seen NHC from the outside. I just sort of chose at random, the only places I've seen inside of are Lyddon and Charles Morris because I've got a friend from school just finished his first year at Leeds, I stayed with him a few times. I have a feeling that my room is just going to be towering piles of books scattered everywhere, I can't bear to leave any of them behind.

Awwww good luck with the exams, you should be spending your time revising, not on TSR :P But don't worry about them, I bet you'll do great. It's just all the waiting for results day that's the worst bit!

Hahaha friendly is good! I'm not unfriendly, I just manage to make a complete **** of myself nearly all the time XD but don't panic, I will be friends with you just so long as you can put up with me being a bit of a dork :P

I don't know I just wasn't organised enough to sort it all out XD was gonna go for JBP originally but then wanted something cheaper and NHC was right near it so I figured it was pretty much the same :P

I tried for Cambridge last year but messed up my interviews so I was gonna reapply there this year but then my grades weren't high enough anyway so I went for different places. It was a choice between Kent or Leeds but I fell in love with Leeds the first time I visited my friend up there, I've stayed with him four or five times now and I already adore it there :biggrin: and from what I've heard Cambridge is boring as hell, so hahahahaha I win this time

That's exactly what it will be like. I'll spend my time just rearranging them into different labyrinthine structures so that people have to navigate their way through to find me. I love my books <3 they're like my babies.

Tomorrow? Eek :redface: Good luck! Just do your best and all that, no worries.

I'm not easily offended/put off so you should be okay with that :P Freaks are my favourite sort of people!

I've applied for Henry Price!
I initially heard it was quite a popular choice so I was worried I wouldn't get a room there.. I wanted to be self-catered and on campus cos I'm so lazy :biggrin:

But now it's sounding like James Baillie Park, Clarence Dock and Devonshire hall are all pretty popular too!

Heyyy dmz how ru? U dunno me, am an international student going to leeds (gona be joining Msc Nutrition program)...

I've been reading the thread since am looking to apply for accommodation myself, and you seem to be quite popular and helpful around, so thought why not ask u a little and get to know you personally :h:!

So as I said am a postgrad international student, and I guess am lost between choosing uni residence or going for private halls.. Well if I choose uni residences, and am going for en-suite, which do u think is a better choice (if u've seen them for urself): Leodis or Sentinel? And why do u think so :smile: Thnx a lottt in advance!! Tc..

Hi :h:, oh cool, where are you from?

I try to, don't know much tbh, but i'll try to help :smile:

Depends what you're after i guess, like private halls would probably be cheaper, but less social unless you have a lot of other people in your situation going there with you, people there might not even be in uni or not same one as you. I've seen Leodis but not sentinel, and leodis is like a 5-7mins walk uphill to get to university, really really close, a shop on the way too plus there's a shop in the students union which is on the premises and it's not too far from town, but sentinel is closer to the city centre and it has a reputation of being more quiet. Personally i'd go for leodis between the 2, but we're probably after different things :smile:

Leodis has post grads as well
Sentinel Towers is aimed more at those wanting a quieter environment to live in, Leodis isn't. That is the main difference between the two as far as I see it :smile:
