Yep I know. I went to see the uni for an open day.

And I ain't kidding you, the first street I drove down was massive, and every house was also massive, mansion type buildings. Honestly every single house must've been worth at least £300,000 not one delapidated, shoddy terrace thing there. I was amazed.

Ah, they are turning that street into loads of flats, but the houses there are nice. There are more bigger houses around Winchester too. But as a student, there are quite a few cheaper areas too. If you need any information on Winchester, PM me, i've lived there all my life. :p:

I'm not, but my friend is, and he said it's a really nice place. He's doing creative writing. But he's scared of not making friends and everyone hating him.

So if you meet a weird shy goth guy called Luke, be nice to him :p:

My boyfriend mark is going, he's studying Modern History. He's a little worried he's not going to make friends with anyone and stuff.

sure everyone whose going is thinking the same, winchester has a reputation as a small friendly uni, so that is why i am not to concerned about that. Both my cousins went there and loved it, one reason why i first looked at it, and decided i liked the campact feel of the campus, no bus to catch to lectures like at some city unis!
A potentially useful source of information for all you new students (and current ones) could well be the Wincehster Uni page on TSR Wiki.

Unfortunately nothing has been added yet, so if any of you here think you could add information or anything under any of the headings on the page, then please do so. It will help create a great reference point on here for everyone.

Thanks :biggrin:

Wa- heeyyy...

Vicky and Beki... Both too super cool people - 2 reasons...

1) Going to Winchester
2) Doing Psychology - Like me...

Will see you there, I think

Also Vicky, I am thinking you know of Lisa - or at least Lisa's Mum, from the States... She's going too... and doing Psychology, hence another cool one, we should meet up at the uni. I'm gonna meet this Lisa, she's gonna be kinda scared coming all the way from California, so I think it'd be nice to help her settle and be nice etc... You should come too, it'd be great a whole posse of wintonians.
Are you catered, or not. I haven't been told yet on what my accomodation will be, but my first choice is self-catered non en-suite... and then en-suite as second chioce...
Betcha cool either way, cus psychology is:
The bees Knees
The dog b**loks
The mutts nuts
and hell it's even the
Badger's Tadgers...

:biggrin:

And Maty I'm diong Journalism too with my beloved Psychology...

Did I say that, beloved??? Meh freudian slip :p: See you there, methinks

btw, before I finish rambling like a fool, is anyone else, coming from quite far to Winchester, or do you live near it?

I'm from Derbyshire by the way... if you must know, hence accent and hence I say bacon cob instead of bacon roll :p: lol

Tra :ciao:

I did some uni shopping 2day, duvet, pillows etc, SO much fun!
