Bateson

I'm completely obsessed with all soaps. Neighbours, then doctors, then either Monk, or Murder She Wrote, or something similar, Countdown then Deal or no Deal... There's so many things to watch, and then I feel lazy watching them all (Plus it uses up an entire afternoon!) But how people live without tv I do not know. Afternoon lectures suck because they eat up so much good daytime tv!!

dont bother with the tv rooms cos i dont think there used!

Loads of people used the TV lounges at Rees Hall. They were a godsend, especially when there was a big football match and you couldn't be bothered to go to the pub.

i see, intresting indeed. i read it and was like woah it must be huge if all the other halls use it. See thats what i wanted to do, get my own t.v., but then thought if they have a tv room why waste money. I kno this seems like a silly question but do they have digital or is it terrestial like jus 5 channels?

But yea im not really bothered whether they dont or do but yea. I noticed tht portsmouth know how to market themselves well, i noticed tht wen i went for the open day very 'polished' .

this forum is soo good, without this i would have entered being a bit unaware of stuff. But yea jus wanna say people thank u for all the comments. getting emotional here **sniff sniff** lol

P.S. whts TSR?

Although Bateson resembles a prison, it's a pretty good place to be because you're in the centre of everything. It is sometimes annoying when you get a parcel, that you have to go to the post office to collect whereas in other halls you can just pick it up from the reception bit but hey.

I was in Bateson last year. A Block was definitely the 'party block' out of them all. Probably because it's the biggest. A lot of the people I knew there were very chavvy. I know quite a few people hung out in the tv room. I did sometimes. But people would go hang out there for hours and drink and eat junk. People would throw up in the lift as well too. And I've lost count of the amount of fire alarms Bateson had. Once there was 2 or 3 in a night. Around 4am. That wasn't fun!! The shower in our flat was extremely powerful which was brilliant. Most parties and 'gatherings' took place in the kitchen or in the largest bedroom. Although Bateson resembles a prison, it's a pretty good place to be because you're in the centre of everything.
