Lol. Did you upload it online? Was it a photo you scanned in?

You know if you upload it online: Do you think you could just take a picture from a web cam and that would suffice?

No I went for the old fashioned method of paper and stamps. :p:

I reckon that if you have a good webcam and can get a white background then it should be fine yeh :biggrin:

Im sure they will contact you if not, it doesnt exactly have to be a big high quality pic anyway.

Should be OK, my picture is a standard photo booth passport-esque picture but it doesn't have to be, Warwick aren't too fussed provided the face takes priority.

My first attempt at a student card photo has highlighted the fact that I really need a shave

Went and got photo done in a photobooth today. Turned out to be a right mugshot, no way I'm using them for my student card!!

this might sound a bit stupid...but...what do we carry to lectures with us / on a day to day basis?

@ school i used to carry all of my daily books + text books with me to each lesson (so 3-4 note books and 3-4 text books)...but at Uni...i take it we wont be required to bring text books with us (especially seeing as most of them seem to be 600 + pages long)...

so i take it a note pad of paper / a file with all your notes etc is enough? especially if we return to our room after most of them?

its just im currently looking for a bag for my new laptop and need to know what type it should be :p:

Bring it on!

And is there a size limit on the size of picture submitted or will they just shrink it down?
And does it have to be a certain width/height ration then?

When u upload ur photo, it will automatically shrinks ur photo down to fit the required size. They also have some samples on the site just log in and check them out. They didnt mention about the exact width n height though.
