UCL offer holders 2015 thread

I'll have fun guessing in lectures then.
Tbh I'll be rather easy to figure out, no need to call Sherlock Holmes. All one has to do is look at my interests and then there'll be a narrow category to choose from-kinda like playing guess who!

Tbh I'll just call out in the lecture hall, 'Who's the joker on the student room' - gets the job done haha

I'll be acting inconspicuous then hehe.
Looks like every guy I see studying history I'll be like 'what's up gazzaaa'.

Does anyone know what date freshers week begins? They say the 28th - is that when lectures start or is that the start of freshers week? Thanks!

Anyone for Business Analytics ?!

Does anybody know why we need to attach a photograph of ourselves when applying for accommodation? seems kinda weird lol... also does it have to be a passport style photo?

I swear I didn't need to do this? Where was this?

I am, hopefully

Someone told me it's so housing can identify you when you go to pick up your keys. Mine wasn't passport style, I was on full on smiling.



It's in one of the sections, you should have - it's mandatory, are you sure you didn't?

Positive and double checked all the sections in the accommodation application I submitted, I have some vague memory of uploading a photo way before the accommodation app back when I first applied in October though? Might be getting confused with Cambridge SAQ though idk, which section was it in for you? There was definitely nothing in any of the sections about personal details or documentation or anything

I don't think accommodation was open till about February-ish, so you must be thinking about SAQ. When I uploaded my photo that section disappeared- I actually contacted accommodation to check it got through ok and they were like yeah, also confirmed with a couple of other people who were applying for UCL and similar happened for them. So it must have gone through otherwise the section would still be there, if you're really doubtful and concerned like I was contact accommodation they're the best form of reassurance.

Nonono I meant uploading a photo just as part of the regular application process not part of accommodation app, same time they asked for my a level maths unit grades. There definitely wasn't anything recently about a photo for me, so they're probably using that photo if they asked for one? Or maybe because I uploaded a picture a couple of years ago for accommodation application when I got an offer from them then?

Oh right, I didn't have to do that, but then again I didn't have to give them my maths unit grade for the course I was applying for. I'm surprised though because I thought accommodation was a separate thing, but they could be just using that. If I were you I would just contact them to clear doubts and be sure?

Yeah you're right I think, it's worth doing just to alleviate my curiosity too tbh!

I have an offer for Theoretical Physics for 2015 but I'm having second thoughts about Uni.
You pay £22,000 a year (inc. living cost, I'm British) for 3-4 years of hard work in a semi-irrelevant subject, although very interesting self taught, nothing with exams is interesting. I will have to leave all my friends (who aren't going to uni, we be poor northerners) to meet a bunch of nerds (I've never met physicists like me at these unis: a rock music loving, out-going (more than half of nights I'm out past 12) cheapskate who has never studied (I'm lucky I find A*s easy, when I can be arsed)) who I will hate, and to somehow keep my sanity? Or I can do a BTEC in engineering or music and stay in the ****hole called Wrexham but with my friends, but have to say "oh hi mum, yeah, I'm not going to Uni any more!". Exam period has began and I'm on course to fail my forth A Level 'cos I don't need it and CBA working.
Should I just pull out and get my plans straight, i don't know what I want to do other than I hate capitalism.
