There's sooo much I don't know!

Hurrah, so after some turd screwed up marking my exam and it became evident that Bristol are hairy asscheeses, it turns out I'm going to Manchester to study Economics in September!

I'm actually dead excited, but still haven't receieved any other information from the university other than was sent out when I got my offer, so I have quite a lot of questions.

1. When is Freshers Week?
I was supposed to be on holiday when term starts, but will come back a bit early now but if Freshers is before the 18th, which I assume it could be then it's not really worth me going at all)

2. Will I get into any decent accomodation?
I applied online for Burkhardt, Dalton Ellis and Hulme on friday, but havent received any acknowledgement or anything. In the brochure I just saw that Burkhardt was "High Demand" so that was clearly stupid, but the others are big right? Was I being far too optimistic and is there any likelihood i will end up anywhere remotely within walking distance of the city?

Yeah I think that's all my questions for now lol! Any answers at all would be brilliant.

Thanks so much for your help guys. I've come up with a cunning plan... I'm gonna ring up the accomodation office tomorrow and plead with them that I can't cook and to put me in a catered hall (none of them seem that far out) and maybe I can avoid being stuck in Broomcroft house or somewhere like that Freshers week is the same week as the first week of term then or is it just an extra acclimatization on top of the first 4 days?

Thanks.
Pete

On Oxford Road? Depends some of them run until about 3 in the morning on a Friday. Besides you can walk it back to most student accommodation.

From what I've heard though, I'm given the impression that they aren't actually that stricton it though... I visited a mate in Owens Park last year, there were 3 of of us kipping in a mates room for 2nights. No-one batted an eye-lid.
