Birkbeck Freshers 2013

HI there, sorry for just butting into all the conversation :P

Anyone here doing a political science? Perhaps BA Global Politics and International Relations??

Would be nice to get to know some people before starting end of this month! I'm 21 and super nervous!

Hey I have my interview tomorrow, really really nervous, so fingers crossed I'll see you on the course. I'm 24

I daresay, the prospectus of bingo nights at the George sounds absolutely smashing! Also, you are absolutely right, Birkbeck is full of old geezers. For instance, I am your 70 year old grannie posing as a 19 year old, so I would like to see you there sometime.



Sadly, I am doing Law.

That's not all bad would be nice to know people in general before starting. Will you be first year?

Yep! It is funny, because I almost ended studying PPE (not exactly the same, but rather similar as some modules are shared between Politics & International Relations and PPE) at RHUL. However, to make things short, had a change of heart, declined my offer and took a gap year because I realized that it wasn't exactly meant for me. So I reapplied, and here I am

Oh wow, that's quite a journey. What made you change your mind?
I took a gap year out, worked for the year, went back to college to study something completely different I.e. politics. (id done languages and humanities for A-Levels), went to Greenwich Uni to do pure politics for a year, hated it, applied to Birkbeck to do the exact course I really wanted, and here I am too haha.
Though I'm sure we'd see eachother around Uni if anything.

Hey,

I'll be entering first year in October to study Linguistics and Spanish, quite nervous as don't know anyone at all at the Uni! Anyone else studying languages too? I'll be living at home still so must probably won't make friends as easily as those living in halls but it would be cool to get to know people!!

I know I am being a bit repetitive here but I already need to round up who's coming and who's not as there's only 12 days left! Alright are meeting at 4:30-4:45ish (right after the freshers fayre) in front of Birkbeck's main entrance in Malet Street, which is right next door to the ULU building. The Welcome Party starts at 7, yet I was thinking about meeting before just for the sake of getting to know each other and grab something to eat. Also, bear in mind that this years' theme for the welcome party is a Hawaiian Luau. And no, you don't need to walk around London with a coconut bra and a hula skirt. Just fancy dress will do the trick.

P.S: If you want to ask anything else or just chat a little before meeting up, PM me asking for my phone numbers in Spain and the UK.
