Im sure you need a TV licence for iPlayer. I tried to watch it once when I was in Yorkshire and it wouldn't let me because it said it couldn't determine if the property had a TV licence?!??

You should only need a licence if you watch live tv otherwise you don't need one.

If you were trying to watch the live streaming, then you would have needed the TV license, but for catch-up TV you don't

£68 isn't that much...after phone bill, TV licence (you need one of these by law if you want to watch live tv, even if it's online!) food and of course if you want to go out drinking. Realistically you will need a job or an overdraft.

Oh not to mention textbooks/stationery etc. Dunno about your course but I have to spend about £200 on books at the beginning of every year!

I do hope to get a job but that's definitely not a definite nowadays!

That much on books? Damn!

I know, some employers also aren't very helpful with uni. One boss told me once that I "couldn't have the day before my exam off, my job here is more important than my education". No joke. And that was Waitrose! Yeah I study law, it depends. Although saying that, I lived with people studying biochem last year and their books were really expensive too, but the difference was they lasted the whole three years.

Ahh cool! When I went to the open day last year, I only managed to look around limes court! It was pretty nice, think it might be a bit smaller than other accommodation but it is the cheapest and it's a bit further from the uni. Not by far though :tongue:

I got sent some dates for the applicant days so if I can manage to get to one of them I'm going to go look at the grange then I can compare haha :tongue:

every time I look at the website it just makes me want to start now! :biggrin:

Also I dropped you a PM to move our conversation!
