Term 1, Year 1
ey up freshers
So term 1's almost over, how would you sum up your first experience of uni @ york? good? bad? completely indifferent? How would you rate your college life? Course?
Personally I'd say it started quite well, and went sort of downhill from thereon, mainly because work increased and initial excitement decayed away. Plus, now I have a cold. bah
College wise I'd say I was a teensy bit disappointed not to have really made a concrete friendship group, but glad to have met so many people collectively.
Course: I'm finding it hard as nails at the mo..!
General uni life: lovin' the independence... no rules, no parents. Meals at 1 AM? why not?! Binge eat peanut butter? go ahead!
anyone else?
(by the way, try peanut butter with banana... it's wicked)

Always happens. I only got 1 cold this term which I have now though because I'm away from all the virus's that flow around campus.

That's what spring term is for. I had no solid friends at the end of first term! The first term was just for crazy fun.

hmmmmm.
well, I can really say that although I haven't seen any of my family or friends from....the 'other home' while I've been here, I'm looking forward already to Spring term.
My course (English Language and Linguistics) has been fairly manageable so far, but I haven't been putting in at all as much work as I should be - I'll be forced to fairly soon, and I'm going to have to do so much revision over Christmas, but there we go. It okay and interesting so far.
As regards where I am and the people I'm with, I don't think I could have ended up much better. I've got a large room and kitchen and everything seems to work. I know a fairly amount of people on all floors of my block, and on any given night you'll probably find some people from each floor in a room together partaking of a fine ale or five. We really have forged a spirit of some kind, one that's related to our block more that to Langwith itself (just ask fellow block Aers on this forum, charlord and juno_the. The only blip happened two nights ago when Chris, who lives next to me, had his room broken into and his laptop, camera and wallet stolen. He's got insurance, so that's all cool, but it's worrying for those of us on the ground floor - the windows are so crap, you lean on them and they break (as Andrew found out already!). It's pretty scary that someone can get into your room that easily, and although I don't have anything of value myself, I still don't like the idea that someone has such easy acesss. We're going to see if we can get double glazing or wire mesh windows put in, although apparently that's a fire risk.
On the whole, I'm loving uni and have made some good friends. Rock and roll!

personally im really happy after the first term here, didn't imagine that i would make as many great friends in 10 weeks as i have, i feel really lucky.
the course is good, bit too much work for my liking (!) but its pretty interesting so far, not looking forward to exams in january though!
but yeah, couldn't imagine being at uni anywhere else, york is fab

I'm really enjoying myself! Being a student is fantastic - ah the freedom!
The work can be a bit dull at times but I know that it'll get better next year when I can choose which modules I want to do.
York, although small, is a good place to be for uni. I feel safe when I go out at night as we're not too far from the campus and most people in the clubs are fellow students. It's great going to Toffs and Ziggys and seeing friends from your course/college.
I also haven't made any really close friends yet but that isn't a bad thing. Part of the fun of uni is finding your feet and experiencing new things. If you found your life friends in the first term then it would be a bit boring.

this is actually charlord.
ive had the best 10 weeks here. im so gutted to actually be going home.
as for the course - its really interesting and not that much amazingly hard work (maybe cus i only have 4 hours a week).
my room is huge...the college is gr8
the people ive met are awesome too: i actually do think ive made solid friends here. I definately agree with oldy when he talks about spirit - that fact all 4 floors get on so well has to say something "beeeerr fooorttt"
im gonna rip off a friend here when I sum up my first term...(he sent us all this in an email)
Dear All,
Is it the end? or is it just the beginning?
thanks for a great first term. it seems much longer than 10 weeks since we
started.
So, the term is over, the ducks are going home and the ferrets are back in the
minster. Looking back, i think the last 10 weeks can be summed up fairly easily:
Alcohol + Traffic cones + Disney + Take-aways + Bohemian Rhapsody + Ferrets -
Jetpack + Alan's stories + Santa Hats + The Final Countdown + lack of sleep +
Toxic + The Princess Bride = a great time!
Christmas warning: Due to Rudolph's recent illness, Santa will be not be using a
Sleigh this year. Instead he will be riding on the back of Falkor. Santa
apologises for any malted fur covering your roof on christmas day.
Enjoy a peaceful 3 weeks without "thud thud thud ..... Heigh Ho Heigh Ho"!!!!!!
Don't forget to turn the hob off
hooray for next term!!

charlord
likewise - i miss you all already!!!
me 2
Loved the first 10 weeks, bit sad to be home tbh...
Contrary to what people have said, I've made some great friends in these 10 weeks *and* got myself a guy... bit of a *wham* life change kind of situation but I've definitely landed on my feet!
The course is good... well, it's interesting at least! Found some bits quite hard, and feel I haven't worked nearly as hard as I should have either... have exams starting on the first day back so eeeeeeek. But yeh, right choice I think.
ps. still not got insurance... but I think you might have spurred me into getting some
my philosophy for the hols is if they are bothered so much to get into my room, all they'll find is a few clothes that cost almost nothing and I don't wear much, a few posters, some bedding and... an iron... woohoo, don't all jump at the chance at once. But yes, I'll get some for next term when you know, pricey stuff is returning.
oh and shut it you Langwith A'ers, you know that Derwent A block is far superior and feels no need to come on and monopolise these here boards
