University of York Firmers 2011!

maybe i am you, maybe we are twins. since you are from london too!!
we can have a hot chocolate party!!


ah veggie and catered def would not go together well i doubt! i bet all breakfast is is just bacon EVERYWHERE!
yeah it has some band 3, which is 106 quid i think. and the band 3 is really nice, i'd say just as nice as the band 4. it's 8 people to a kitchen in the block i had a look around! i'm like a knowledge machine about york atm, and pandas haha. the cool thing about the band 3 is, they have under bed draws! that's like a whole new level of storage space, so useful!
i know people have said bad things about alcuin, it was quite quiet but obvs people must go out and socialise. james is tempting, so close to the gym and i will be forcing myself to the gym in search of some endorphins! its weird though, james band 4 looks rough in the pics, its juts a big room with a big bathroom but a horrible bed and desk... rather have small and nice i think!


this flat would be awesome, if we fail to make any friends and find no people who want to share with us, we'll get this flat haha. i bought some new hot choc yest - but i'm yet to try it cos i also bought some chocolate milk

the cool thing about the band 3 is, they have under bed draws! that's like a whole new level of storage space, so useful!

Sorry for butting in im just curious to know what ''hot chocolate milk'' actually is :P . I just use ordinary milk I dont seem to get the silky consistency

....

I think you're getting a little bit too into this

We should all live in a flat together. We could have a different flavour of hot chocolate every night

maybe i am you, maybe we are twins. since you are from london too!!
we can have a hot chocolate party!!

Ha! Woo! Peppermint, orange, caramel... the possibilities are endless!

When I went to visit my friend in Exeter it was so nice - she and most of her flatmates have a freezer with lots of chocolate cake in and they have movie nights in their kitchen


Haha totally
Maybe we are twins - do you have blonde hair?

i haven't tried any other flavours of hot choc, i wanna try those options ones!
nah i don't have blonde hair ! i have in the past, i miss it very much! i haven't dyed my hair for like 3 days off a full year, i'm getting major withdraw. IT'S JUST SO BORING BROWN!! i might have to treat myself when i get a job
are you in NYC??!

Haha tbh they're overrated - my favourite's Options Belgian Hot Chocolate

Ah shame, ah well my hair is going brown anyway.

Yup in Manhattan woop woop!

ooo i'll try that one after i've finished my new pot!! why would you go from blonde to brown?! don't do it!!

ah so jealous - what are you up to ? working? i've never been to the US, DYING to go!

Lol no I mean it's getting naturally darker!

I am going to school in Brooklyn for a year, living in Manhattan. It's a scholarship scheme run by the English Speaking Union woot! I'm actually going to Boston tomorrow for four days!

haha oh right, i see!!
that's so cool! so jealous! how did you even find out about that or even get in! you must be a genius

Well last year I was getting rejected from unis (obvious ones lol - UCL, Cambridge e.t.c.) so I was thinking about taking a year out, so I asked my teacher about study abroad programmes, he told me about the scholarship, I looked it up and applied
It's really not too hard to get on - you don't have to be academic even!

Haha, I know what you mean, but I had organised and booked my gap year before any word of increased costs came about. I'm going to teach in Kenya for four months, then Australia and New Zealand and it would have been diastrous and unfair to the other people involved to back out then. Besides, I'm going to spend half my life paying back all the fees anyway, I might as well do it with some wonderful memories though if I'd known about the increased fees before applying, of course I wouldn't have gone the hard way!

such a great oppurtunity! coming to york will be a breeze compared to going across the pond all by yourself!!
i feel like i'm wasting my gap year now! but since it wasn't planned i feel i have more of an excuse... i think! i think i'll just have to have an amazing gap year after university, or every university 3 month summer haha!

Yeah it's been amazing! I really like the idea of going from New York to York It's not certain that I'll be at York just yet - waiting for my retake results to see if I can choose between York and Exeter for English. If my retake is a bust once again, it'll be York. I'm happy either way - it's just a question of whether I do English or English and Politics

Hello! Can anyone help me?
1) when do we apply for college accommodation at York?

2) when do we apply for student finance?

You can apply from March 16th.

Oh that's amazing actually! I would say it is worth it if you have stuff planned, as we are all going to be paying back forever anyway! I decided for a gap year at the last minute and had nothing planned, and still don't! If the fees went up this year I would have been so pissed off, but luckily I get the cheaper ones Gap years with nothing to do however are pretty awful, but I think I just february blues, scottish weather is soo depressing!

You are a star, thank you! What are you hoping to study and which college are you thinking?

Will I have had to accept York's offer before I can do this?

Not sure if that's directed at me... But, if it is, I'll be studying English and I have no idea which college I'm going to pick yet.



I thiiiiink so, but I'm not sure. I get the feeling you have to say which university you'll be going to when you apply for it, but I'm really not sure so you should check before you apply.
