Hi

Yes I'm doing computer science, have you found anyone else who is yet? Which accommodation are you in? I'm in the Paul Kent one.

I am
Cool, you all looking forward to it? How 'good' would you say you are at it because personally I haven't done any IT orientated subjects but have played around a fair bit at home
What uni are you going to ?

I'm looking forward to it and i've done ICT but I feel like it's not really relevant to computer science. And i know nothing about programming. I planned on looking into it in the summer but I practically wasted my holidays doing nothing.

Yeah I've heard that, should be alright then. I'm staying at the Paul Kent Hall, would have stayed at Wheatley but didnt really like the idea of non ensuite and catered rooms.. Just hope the buses are good enough! What about you?

You're so lucky! I'm at Crescent Hall and I have to share bathrooms. I'll probably get used to it but i would gave preferred a ensuite tbh. And yep i really hope the buses are real good.

Ah did you want Paul Kent? Yeah i felt the same but i think you'll get used to it, you'll probably get along with people better if you're sharing the same facilities! I went up there today and it looks like you're just down the road from me so we'll be getting the same bus! :P

Paul Kent was my first option but because i'm an insurance choice student they gave me anything. But then again a lot of insurance students didn't even get a place in halls. I was lucky. Btw have you already moved into halls? And cool, same bus, same course :smile:

Oh damn that sucks, at least you got a place though, I doubt any halls will be too bad! Nope I moved my stuff there yesterday but not actually moving in until Sunday.

Yep thats pretty much what I'm doing, are you waiting until you get there or buying them before you go? I dont want them to sell out but at the same time I don't want to get completely different ones to people in my accommodation.. :/
