Hey guys. Buzzing to have made it in. Pretty scared about it too, considering I've never been on my own anywhere for more than a week.

I'll be studying Computer Science by the way. Can't wait to get started!

I'm studying Computer Science too!! You're the first person I've found who'll be on the same course as me haha

I live several hours away from the coast but close to Heathrow, so I'm flying there. I'm going to have to fit everything I need in a suitcase! It'll be a tight fit :smile:

Don't worry too much about having to bring absolutely everything with you, Im looking to apply for next year however I know that taxis are a lot cheaper than they are here in London and a taxi from the IKEA to Elms Village would only be about £10/£15, I know this because my sister and her fiance live in Belfast so I frequently visit, Congrats on getting in hope you enjoy the experience!!

Yeah I'm going to the icebreakers one on the first night!! And most likely I'll be splitting the taxi fare with friends (rip bank account). I wanna go out as much as possible but that may prove difficult because of where I live agh, what about you?
