ah, okay that makes more sense. I thought you were referring to the college *facepalm*

The college was full of an army of cleaners when I left. It seems we freshers left quite a mess behind...

no it's been accepted by the department - it's been with the college for a while now and i didn't think that would take all that long? surely they either have a place or not? =s
plus i'm scared that durham aes is telling me lies as it has done to others by the sounds of things!
i wasn't complaining - i'm just nervous!

I have to catch a plane.

I think I win. :P

And as this is my second round of Durham applications, I must warn most of us will get our results in March either way. :frown: Just keep going and let up your pent up frustration in regular bursts of ranting about how rubbish UCAS is. :biggrin:

Its interesting how no one at all from Aidan's has complained about the college on here at all, where as Butler have 2 people complaining about it. Although I admit our kitchens blow, electric cookers and no ovens mean cooking isn't much fun.


At last I have truly seen the light. ALL HAIL MIGHTY AIDAN'S, MASTER OF ALL OTHER COLLEGES!! It is truly better than Butler, which is a wretched hive of scum and villainy, and may St. Aidan himself smite me for saying otherwise!

FFS. Two people complaining does not a rubbish college make. :rolleyes: I'm sure Aidan's is very nice but so are we. If you are an absolute kitchenophobe, then do not apply to Butler. If you are not afraid to learn how to take care of yourself, then do apply, because chances are you will have a great time like 98% of students at the college.

And, like Aula said, we're good for cakes. :biggrin: My flat made eight cakes this term.

Good to see you have finally seen the light. Though I am disappointed it took you a long time to come around... Maybe we will have to make our light brighter in future.

Nah, I am not saying Butler is a rubbish place to be, but Aidans is better. Glad we have that one cleared up. In aidans the figure is 99% having a better time (I am assuming the 2 people on my corridor with their very strange routine are not having a great time) Though 2/3 regular posters on here from Butler complaining hardly boads well, may I point out.

And, like Aula said, we're good for cakes. :biggrin: My flat made eight cakes this term.

In Aidans we eat many cakes, the brillance is we dont have to cook them :biggrin: Plus we eat cakes every night, if we want to....

Anyone got any idea when offers for Law might start to be given out? I had it in my head that the first ones were given out around this sort of time last year, but perhaps I'm going mad...
