Still haven't recieved an accomodation offer!

Then i put the phone down as it brought back unwanted memories of primary school hot dinners...

lollerz.

netprime, i think we just have to go to an office or something (the name of which escapes me right now) where we'll get our key. something like that.

Dude I got mine today, and so did a couple of peeps i know going. And its in nelsons court which im gonna struggle to afford to be fair so you're probs gonna be unpacking in a twin/premier flat as it seems the latey's are getting the scraps. Phoned the woman from the accommodation office who ranted from the off barking 'well you shouldnt have picked it as your 4th choice then!!' and i was like 'well i didnt want a 4th choice but had to put a 4th choice, and as that was the 4th cheapest i put it as my 4th choice you absolute penis' and she was like 'you'll get what you're given!!!' Then i put the phone down as it brought back unwanted memories of primary school hot dinners...

So basically you're lumbered with what you get :|

Woah I'm already pissed off with UEA having 45% graduate prospects on my course so i'll tell her exactly what I think if she gets larey !

I wouldn't pay too much attention to graduate prospects stats. For a start, they're based on a small sample of students, namely those who can be bothered responding to the survey.

Secondly, they're based on what proportion of respondants are in a graduate level job within something like six months immediately after graduating. From what I've heard, an awful lot of UEA graduates stay in Norwich for a while, the only problem with that being that Norfolk has relatively few graduate opportunities. As such it takes longer for them to get on the ladder, which naturally drives the statistics down. For those who go where the jobs are, and after about a year or so after graduating for everyone else, the statistic improves to be more in line with what you'd expect from a university such as UEA.

Thanks you've made me feel a lot better

Haha i can't believe UEA haven't told me where I am yet. I Guess I'm going to end up sleeping on the lecture theatre floor.

I'm confused! I thought you were planning a gap year. Or are you still trying to decide?

(just been following this and the remark thread so was curious)

I've now defered my place for a year.

I was given a flippin twin room, and wasnt allowed to change. So thought I'd take a year out and get my accommodation before everyone else! Earn some money for half a year and travel for the other half, then go to UEA with some decent savings to ensure I have a great time...so I'm actually quite pleased with how everythings gone!

So have a great time guys! You'll all be starting your second year by the time I get there, scary!

Didn't you end up getting AAA? If you are taking a gap year now anyway - why don't you reapply (for a better uni )? Just wondering
