QMUL chat!

Aww, and there I was dreaming of a shorn Nitzy!

It's not baby, cause I got

MONDAYS AND TUESDAYS OFF!

Aaw i wanna see my timetable now but i bet it'll be things like all 9am starts and free bits in the middle of the day... standard stuff for me, happened all the way through 6th form

When was that? I left at like 1.15 and they hadn't gone off then?

Also my flat is nothing like what I imagined Freshers to be like, like half of it is international students who are barely even associating with us

About 2.30.

And same. There's 3 of us who go out and 3 who don't! What building and flat are you in?

Hmm I've seen plenty of people with these double sided timetables for freshers week but I've only got the basic timetable (a quarter of a page) that they sent out ages ago Stupid Royal Mail !! Dunno what to do tomorrow.

Looking forward to induction ooh btw, i meant to ask, where on earth is the Fogg building.. I can't find it on any of the maps... I know where People's palace, Queens building and john priestly are so far, but in order to find out who my advisor is i need to get to Fogg...

I wish i lived on campus, it looked like so much fun yesterday


Well be thankful for that because I don't have any timetables at the moment... i only have a timetable for tomorrow

What is a tutorial? Surely its not like college? Isn't Uni just going in and out of lectures?

No, there are tutorials as well; how many depends on the subject. They're often quite helpful too.

OK, so somewhat like a seminar? Ie. they will put you in a group with classmates, not random people from all different subjects?

Tutorials in my experience can range from a group of four to five people, to half of the people of the module, sitting down and working through a problem set, and applying the week's learning.

Nobody from different subjects, unless it's a module that applies to two subjects, but they'd be in the lectures with you too.

OK, thanks for that. Bloody hell, Uni keeps getting more complex by the minute, I thought it would be like 4 lectures a week and thats all. Also I don't know how to get to my building tommorow, am I making a mistake in assuming I can just go to reception and ask? In fat I did check the little map and its right next to reception but I think i'll still ask.

What's your building? Which 'reception' would you be going to?

The Skeel lecture theatre, which if i'm not mistaken is right next to the main reception building? The classy looking place with a drive and everything?

Number 14!

Oh they should be able to direct you, but it's pretty well sign posted once you go into building 33.

Here's a map. Inside there's a big blue board with arrows.

I've never actually been into Skeel mind, my induction was in the Great Hall so I missed that chance and I've never had lectures there.
