So has anyone else thought about flat-warming parties on the moving-in weekend? ^^


What is the date of the moving in weekend or does it depend?:smile: x

You'll be able to move in from Wednesday 14th September but most people will wait until the weekend (17th & 18th) for one reason or another.

I think it depends what hall you're in but since I'm in Lupton I move in on the weekend and will definitely be getting the beers in for the occasion :smile:
On a slightly unrelated note. What do people reckon the north-south divide is at the uni? (Might have had this conversation before on one of the Leeds threads) I was just looking up Leeds accents on Youtube and I had a horrible thought that I might come across as a posh and stuck up southerner :zomg:

I reckon there'll be a lot of well-off people. I live in Cornwall - I wonder what people will think when they hear my accent and see my farmer's tan (off of summer job)?

I'm not well-off, just normal, but apparently I sound a bit posh - my sister keeps making fun of me :cry: Cornish accents are brilliant :biggrin:

I go really Cornish when I've been drinking, but my accent is very peculiar because I live in Cornwall, my mother's Scottish and I speak to a lot of Americans... >_>

Aparently I act "quite middle-class" but I'm from a working-class background. So it could be interesting :biggrin:
slightly off topic for which I apologise for, but is Leeds University good? I heard its the best redbrick uni, but what is it like as a whole?

TBH where it concerns accents I think people are a lot more tolerent, espcially when they're at uni.

I think my friend had a few that were really polite and SOUNDED posh, had a girl from newcastle and she was proper nice in personality and a few more from all the area. All in his block of flates and I honestly dont think anyone will care what you sound like.
You all seem like really nice outgoing people to me and i'm on the net, I wouldnt think any different of any of you if I met you in person from your accent.
Sure if it was really strong might take me a little to understand (not gunna lie) But Everyone just mixes with everyone.

I actually cannot wait though, soooo excited :biggrin: :biggrin:
My accent is really southern. I'm quite close to London actually, but I have northern parents so not too sure if i might have some northern in my speaking. Anyway I'm rambling carry on :biggrin:

Twelve days from now - i'll either have ordered my macbook pro or have committed suicide :s-smilie:


Dude, don't order it until you get to Leeds. If you buy it online whilst connected to the uni's internet you get a student discount, like 10% I think. Also a load of money towards apps, I think it was $100 so like £69 or something. Naht sure though on the exacts.

But just wait until you are a student, save the mons!
