You! Hello (:
Is anyone staying in;

Block F , Floor SECOND , Flat 266G

It's where me and my friend are staying, and we just checked it and it says we have two new flat mates, so it would be awesome if we knew who they were :biggrin:

Living there from September. It's going to be a nice contrast to Hector Boece. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. :colonhash:

Hey, I haven't visited but I know a few people who have and they have said the Old Fire Station is nice. I have also been told that NCC is more expensive and really not worth the price.
I chose mixed sex, yet I have ended up in a room full of girls, so I'm a bit meh about that.
I know lots of people who haven't stayed on campus during their first year of uni, and many have said it is only a disadvantage if you are miles away from the campus and if you aren't staying with new people.
Yet I'm sure you will meet lots of people who are living at the old fire station, so you shouldn't feel like its too much of a disadvantage
hope I've helped a little :smile:
