Will you be going to any of the nights out Emma or is it all done and dusted on that part?

To southampton?

Good: Good uni, lots going on, always something to do, city has lots of different nights out, easy to get around but not too big that it's easy to get lost/costs a fortune to get everywhere by taxi, free buses.

Bad: Monte is a 30min walk from Avenue, although it is the best halls so don't let the distance sway you. You can get buses to and from both places for free though.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I'm sure open day guides are just as honest as the rest of us...if anyone asks me about the uni, I give honest opinions, because I don't want them coming here and hating it :s-smilie:

Totally agree. I was a languages student guide last year, and the only thing we're told is the tour route :rolleyes: Everything else is personal opinions and like Jonny says, it's honest and the truth :smile:
Yeeaaah I give tours and I am honest. If someone asks you a question you're not going to lie, you get paid to give the tour not boost admissions.
What is with this damn weather?
bright and sunny today and monday, but really dull and rainy yesterday...why is it when i have loads of work to do the weather is nice? :'(

Alright fair enough. Chances are we'll be in Portswood Saturday night, probably Jesters (fail).

Can hopefully go for a kickabout in the park later on if it doesn't rain/snow.
Its sunny :biggrin:. What makes it better is my mates at other unis are complaining about the rubbish weather and I can plead ignorance and it annoys them!
