Manchester United - their is going to be some banter, for sure, my brother supports them so i can not stand them, sorry. :yep:

your're comedians are some of my favs also, love mock the week, hence Russell Howard. :love:

love most films, some of my classic favs have to be "Green Mile", "Shawshank Redemtion" and "The Italian job". :bigsmile:

Music i thought i loved all music, but all the people you have named i have never heard off, sorry. lol :p:

F1 - watch that a bit to. like all sport tbh

and of course the TSR

sound like were going to get on just fine, lots of similar intrests, i will see you their. :thumbsup:

please feel free to pick up on any spelling error's, never been my strong point. lol

Damn Cheek!! :p:

Yeah we do (well I will be), I'm 25 so technically a mature student, we have years of drinking experience under our belts!

Foundation years basically prepare you for your degree if you have non traditional qualifications, have had a break from study etc. I actually only get a year at Queens as after foundation I will be studying Geology at Durham City Campus.

Regarding Mock the Week, you know the Aussie guy with one foot? Adam Hills? He's at the Arc in Stockton on Friday 16th Oct, think he'd be wickedly funny live.

As for the Man U-Arsenal banter, I'm used to it, several of my exs support Arsenal! Well I guess someone has to :p:

Meeee I made it in through clearing to a foundation with Business degree :biggrin:

so 4 years at Queens I guess!

Had no idea which to pick out of Stephenson or John Snow, how do you decide! I've been assigned John Snow by Durhum, about all I know is that they wear gowns instead of not, and its 5 mins away instead of right on campus. Anything else to decide between the two? :confused:

Which is more social?

Oh and I'm 21 :biggrin:

look forward to seeing you all there!

well done, all are welcome here, i did'nt decide between the two, i put open application and got put in Stevo.

Hello! I'm Louise, from Washington (north of Stockton) and I'll be studying Applied Psychology. I'm in Stephenson College. I'm getting the freshers week t-shirt!

I love lots of different kinds of music- too many to list here, I think. I like comedy, such as Michael McIntyre etc. I love film and Doctor Who.

Oh, did anyone else send off an online application form for accommodation and not hear anything back? I'm a bit worried.
