Ditto on the packing front, I have way too much stuff that I want to take and not nearly enough car space...

What are you studying? :smile:

So does English! :biggrin:

Quick question, has anyone gotten their payments from the Student Loans Company yet? Mine was meant to go through on the 1st but they said it would take 3-5 working days so I presume it's okay that it hasn't yet, I'm just a bit worried about the £1018 maintenance charge that we need to pay when we get there... anyone from last year, had your payment not come through? :s-smilie:

Basically this (student loans people cocking up) happens every year so college lets you postdate your cheques to give you an extra couple of weeks.

That's fantastic news, cheers!

Yeah, it says in one of the letters/booklets to postdate it to the 10th, I think.

I'm totally packed now and heading off tomorrow (due to the length of the drive from Scotland). :biggrin:
Reply 73
Ugh, you're lucky! My room looks like the sort of chaos I can't even pretend is organised :rolleyes: Good luck for tomorrow anyway, I guess we'll be seeing you Monday :biggrin:

So: anyone else applying this year?
Reply 75
Well I was supposed to be applying, but at this rate I don't think I will even be considered. My written piece can not be stamped until monday and that is the deadline for the written piece to be in.
I have emailed the admissions office but they have not replied yet.
I have no chance of getting it delivered in time because the postal service finishes early on sunday, so I guess they will probably discount my entire application. I am not the strongest of applicants in the first place.

I'm really worried and sad about this whole admissions process now.
Reply 76
=( Good luck, hope it works out. What are you applying for?
Reply 77
History, I am hopefully going to be driven down there on monday to hand it in personally, although I do not know where I am supposed to hand it in.

Edit:

I got a reply from the head of admissions which confirmed that I could send my piece for tuesday 11th, so I sent it by special guaranteed delivery on monday to arrive tuesday.
So it seems like all is well again, I just hope it arrives.

So: anyone else applying this year?

I am indeed
May I ask why you decided against going to Bristol?
Reply 79
I decided I didn't want to go and I wanted another shot at Oxbridge. I didn't like the course or the atmosphere much and then realised how stupid I was being. Plus a couple of personal reasons which I don't really want to go into.
