Official University of Leicester Firmers Thread 2012

Oh dear is this unique to Beaumont or in all the accommadation do you know ?

oh good I just want something... anything ;P
what course will you be studying ?

I'll be studying Medicine - and yourself?

Haha I loved JF - I'm prayin I get self catered. You lookin for catered/self?

Just got a UCAS letter today - course starts on the 24th Sept - I'm counting the days

I know what you mean buddy. Teachers need to put in the effort just as much as students do. Their not taking the exam but we rely on them a lot to achieve the best possible grade :/ It does prepare us for the independence that is expected of us so I guess that's a positive

I'm keeping positive at the moment on my grade situation. Need to work hard, been getting quite lazy since the Jan exams. Motivation would be niceee! She probably got in because it was only Psychology

JoFo is nice don't get me wrong but Beaumont is way more social from what my friends have said who are currently in Leicester. They say the layout of the rooms in JoFo aren't the best for sociality where as Beaumont is in like dorms which is good. I've spent a weekend at Beaumont with my friend and you can't escape from someone. Just constant chatting, it's really good! Hope this doesn't sway your choice but Beaumont is much better in my eyes apart from a few things such as the age compared to the moderness of JoFo

I lived in Beaumont but work as an ambassador so have seen the lot accommodation wise

Hi. I don't want to go to JF as it its a bit out of my price bracket. I do want to stay in oadby though. What do you think is the best catered accomodation other than JF?

Is that Medicine yeahhh?! haha. Ayee congratulations on that man! I hear Leicester Medical School is tough to get into! & Same haha. JoFo self catered ensuite ftw! We can be roomies bro
LmaoI feel you. Oct 1st can't come quick enough. 2 weeks of freshers will be madddd

I'll be studying Medical Biochemistry. Had a quick look through your old posts to see what you applied for... don't think our course choice can be more different

Haha appreciate it ah bro - it was the biggest head **** tryna get in, so relieved it's all over. Which course are you doing buddy?

For sure man! Let's pray we get JF self catered - hopefully the fact my offer is unconditional means I know earlier what accommodation I'll be staying in. Gives me enough time to fight my case haha.

Does that mean medics get 3 weeks?! Apparently we move in a week before everybody else for a 'medic fresher week' - this news just gets better and better haha.

Me!! I firmed Leicester for Medical Biochemistry. We might have some lectures together next year

Definitely man. My ICT teacher is so crap its a joke. & it sets me and my class back because we're not motivated as much as we should be and we're never prepared for assessments. But yeah, I guess there are 'some' positives out of it .
After Jan I've pretty much been the same. Done the bare minimum. But from monday I'm gonna start preparing for summer proper. To mess up now would be so unfortunate. 1 last hurdle man! We can do this bro (y)
& Ahh man, I've heard all this ish about how JoFo is not as sociable as other accom. I don't see how since its in the student village! Fair enough, you've got exp of Beaumont. Wasn't initially going to apply there but might have it as a back up choice now. Its quite a green area isn't it?

Just firmed Leicester for Law Does anyone know if the accomdation applications have opened yet or?

ICT is a bastard in A level, friend of mine worked his head off but was all worth it for him in the end. Keep working hard and don't let the fact of a rubbish teacher distract you. Just get on with the work and you'll do fine

I'm not even sure myself on this layout of JoFo being bad for sociality but i'm just taking everyones word for it as everyone says the same thing that it's not the best layout :P Yes Beaumont is the area which is very green. Perfect for the summer!



I've been checking the website everyday for the past and no news yet. I imagine they will email us all when it is open (I hope)

You do get a week before us, usually staying in Beaumont, Intro Week including the PJ bar crawl, but I'm afraid you have lectures throughout Freshers (as do other subjects, law start the Weds of Freshers). Obviously you can/will just go to the lectures hungover, but you don't get the luxury of sleeping it off.

Check with a current medic but I think that's how it works.

Real achievement bro! You know you done a couple of backflips when you got that offer? haha. & Management Studies with Politics. I don't think there could have been a better course for me lol.
If it does then I think we should stop talking for a bit bro haha. I'd be mad jel! I've always wanted JF, looks so prestige
LOLL no don't lie. I always thought medics started freshers before us but started lectures a week before the rest us? 3 weeks of freshers is unreaaaaaal!

More than a couple back flips. I did that "OMG WTF?!?!?!?!?! I'm freaking dying and thank god no-one can see how embarrassing is" dance haha. That course sounds really interesting and the fact it's like two subjects combined makes it even better. Congratulations on that one what's the entry req's?

I've sent you a pm bro
