Southampton Firmers

is the thing asking you about the sportrec and artpass the fresher's pack? or is that sent seperately?

i will get both sportrec and artpass. had alwasy intended on getting the sportrec and would quite like to see some comedy or theatre especially for £5! but only if others want to come....?

also....there was something else.....ohh yes.

on you go under "people doing the same course as you" does it include everyone at your uni doing your course. it is just there are only 12 people on mine?! and 2 of them must have already replied to me on here!!

Yeah I imagine so, not like they would be able to tell if the photo is not from a booth either (usually white back). Perhaps there's a distinct smell to booth photos? Not like I can see the ID people sniffing our photos... A relatively-decent photo and print on maximum settings on an inkjet with photo paper and it should be ok.

What are you studying this year?

Two questions because I'm useless at forms

Year of degree: - start year or end year?

And "student ID number" - is that just the 8 digit number or do we put the undergrad code (is it 4?) in front of it as well?!

Does anyone know how much the tickets are for freshers when they go on sale the 6th? I went on the student's union website and it didn't say.

Depends what for - Usually the Friday/Saturday night Cube events will be about £3.

whats the max the freshers event tickets will cost?
and also how do people dress for freshers ball? like OTT?

Is it necessary to buy tickets for events before arriving ??? Can you buy then there (around the 26th, 27th) ???
At the moment I'm not sure which events i would want to attend, but if i don't buy tickets when they come out (monday) will i be left alone with nothing to do during freshers ? etc...
Will i be seen as an outcast if i don't attend every event etc...
:/

Just a bit of a problem, and I don't know if I'm just being retarded or something. But anyway, I accepted my accommodation offer but can't remember whether I've put in the correct direct debit information (I have two). I have logged on to the online accommodation thing and it shows everything apart from the direct debit information!? Am I missing something?

Has anyone done any research into insurance? The University's underwriters do not cover theft/fire/damage whatever of any personal possessions in the university halls. That gives three options: don't get insurance (risky), scrounge off parent's house plan (if their plan supports it) or else get private insurance.

My parents don't want me to lumber all my risk onto their plan (hah!), so it looks like I'll have to get some private cover. I'm currently looking at Ensleigh - the current price for me is £137 (gulp). This is quite high but it covers accidental loss/damage anywhere in the UK for my macbook pro and iphone. A lot of other insurers will not cover mobiles, particularly smart phones like the iphone.

Considering my needs is £137 reasonable? Anyone in a similar situation?

Yeah, they don't show your direct debit information online, nor allow you to modify your direct debit details. I recently changed banks and had to request a special form and post it to them to change my direct debit details.
