Portsmouth University

he he. seeing as we all seem to be goin to JW hall, what block are you all in?? im in A

lol! looking at the stuff they sent me I think im in A as well!

me too!!! what course you doing?

Computer Network Management and Design. I'm not a geek honest! Just with the A levels I did and the grades I got (Just finishing a gap year) it was the only course and university I liked that I could get into!! lol!

sounds...interesting!! lol, i'm bloody doing accounting - how interesting is that?!

there are a good few people on here going to portsmouth now - and staying in james watson too

I know a few accountants, well 3!! They are definitely not the typical boring people often portrayed and they like the job. I suppose if it interests you then go for it, nothing worse than doing a job you hate for the rest of your life!

Maybe we should all get together and explore places to drink when we get down there!! Just an idea but it could certainly be interesting!!

Speaking of which, when is everyone going to turn up? I will probably turn up on the 2nd of October.

i'll be going down then as well probably. why couldn't it be a sunday that we move in? my parents work on a saturday so i think i'm gonna be moving in on my own people might take pity on me then though

i cant wait now

im goin a few day early... be easier cos im from the channel islands!

ok annoyed me i cant find a topic dedicated to it oh well.

right, just want to see firstly if anyone is doing architecture there

or if anyone is goign there in general?

i loved the place, big, open, clean, fresh blahhh

bit worried bout the navy boys everywhere could be a bit dodgy but theres a nursing complex across the road from architecture, all good!

lol, thanks!

what i might do, is go down on the friday before and book into the hotel right across the road from my halls. this way, i can take more stuff with me and buy anything that day that i forget/couldnt bring. so then, on saturday morning, i can just go back and forth between my hotel and my room taking some of my stuff each time. hmmm....have to clear it with the parents first, but a good idea methinks!!

Yep, sounds like a decent plan! I am luck, I live about an 1hr and a half away by train and i am lucky in that my dad is going to be nice to me and help me move in. Its usefull knowing people who can drive!!

i'm 4 hours away by train, and about 3 by car - which is good cause my parents cant really just jump in the car to visit me

they said that they could take me down on october 3rd, which is a sunday, but i'd miss the first day where everyone is new and stuff, and that first day is the whole point really!! what to do? what to do?

credit card, direct debit, online option (broken at the moment) or a cheque (my choice)

i'd be climbing the walls if i still hadnt received my letter and everyone else on here had! ...sorry!

where was your first choice again??

First choice is portsmouth. I'm dying to know where I'm gonna be stayin (as long as i get the grades). EEK!

lol, sorry - whats your first choice of accomodation??

we SHALL be positive! we SHALL get the grades!

I *still* haven't received my letter, so I just emailed them and hopefully I will get a reply shortly. OOOH the suspense! Which ways can you pay the deposit?
