Durham General Chat Thread

I think for most colleges its after the results come out and your place is confirmed.


Hope you feel better soon Chris

Ah, going for the quick and easy answer I see

if anyone has supreme powers around here its me

Ahhh, the first in a long line of what will be this question!

What many people fail to realise is that by applying to your COLLEGE you've already applied for accomodation. Other universities around now will be sending out application forms for which tower block you want to live in () but Durham, as you've applied to the College, doesn't need to now.

You're guaranteed a room in your college, and because all colleges are such a small site (although Hild Bede is a big site, it's nowhere near the size of a city university or even a campus university!) then you don't need to apply. For example, if you're in Trevs, all the rooms are pretty much the same, and you'll live in either A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, or J block.....D being about 10 seconds away from the dining hall and J or H being about 1min and 10 seconds away from the dining hall! It's no difference really.

Finally, you WILL be sent out a questionnaire ONCE YOUR RESULTS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED (i.e. in August!) which will ask you some basic stuff like what time you usually go to bed/get up, what kind of music you like, if you smoke, etc etc. so that if you end up sharing a room then they can put you with someone quite similar to you

Ooo accommodation info - goodo

Dyou reckon people with unconditionals will get the questionnaire thingy any earlier?? Probably not right?

Thanks Ryan & Rach!

Feeling better already thanks to my parents visiting.

My mum took me to boots and spent about a tenner on cold remedies, throat thingies, tissues and paracetamol. Oh, and a big steak for dinner helped too!

Ryan, don't be a knob. Or discontinue being one, soon, please.

Christo, glad to know you're better. Now might see you oodioing this Tuesday!

Alex, yes... you do have powers, which could be assessed as supreme by empirical study.

Ollie, from your spelling dude.. I am not surprised you got binned. I hope you didn't break anything, or yourself! We await the morning after report.

Now I have a question...

Is it okay that I dry my legs with my hairdryer because I like the way its gust sweeps through my ickle leg hairs? Discuss.

Now THATS an essay title.

I don't pay for the electricity...

ughh

Sidekick and cherrychocolate - I doubt that they will send it out beforehand, as one of their requirements is if you're away then you have to sort it out (i.e. get a family member to fill it in or get them to forward it onto whereever in the world you are!). Though if you really really beg them they might.

Otherwise, no, you won't get the questionnaire any earlier than anyone else!
