The Leicester University chat thread

I think I'll end up having regular get togethers up there tbh. It's a handy meeting place as it's slap bang in the middle of the country.

Yeah, it was quite good fun but then you have to take into account Carla's sexual molestation of anything with a penis and Tess' constant cynicism. I'm sure they've had a lot to say about my map directions but whatever they say, the salient point is that I got them there in the end!

yeh, I go back often (only being an hour away on the train helps). i'm vaugely still looking for jobs there in the hope of moving back.
hahah that sounds like them, I have no idea why Carla is like that. they've not mentioned your map directions at all

One of my friends from Wolverrrrrrhampton, wo did Archaeology, found a job as a Doctor's secretary and she must have gotten a 3rd - so there are jobs there! I still don't really know the enxt step but I would like to do a second Master's at another University, but I'll have to get a job to be able to pay for that - at this point, I don't mind what the job is, but it would be nice if it tied in with Ancient History.

Excellent news. Thought I'd get my retaliation in first though. TBH, Carla is the sort of person you can put up with for a short space of time. She also turned Dan from normal Gay man to horrendously camp which was somewhat....terrifying. Not that I don't like Tess, Dan and Carla, but I think it's best/safer if I kept myself a bit aloof this term. Got the work to be doing anyway. I still haven't confirmed my dissertation topic tbh, though I have them in mind and have something to go with via Shippers. I've got a ton of work to get through until I start the dissertation though.

Hii looking to meet people on my course or just starting this year I dont mind
Psychology starting October 2011 give me a message

Just a quick question for anyone who is currenty @ Leicester really:

Does the means tested Bursary (the one for income under 40k) get paid every year or is it a 'one off' payment like a scholarship? (assuming your income stays below the cutoff obviously)

I'm fairly sure bursaries are every year.

Anyone doing English and History?

Did you get a letter of your occupancy dates etc when you started? I did last year and the year before and thats what I sent off. (I can't remember about this year, but don't have a tv anymore so don't have this issue).

Nice to meet you! Psychology 2011 too Got accommodation yet?

I'm psychology too! I've applied for accomodation (ages ago!) but the status hasn't changed from 'submitted.' My offer is conditional though so I'm hoping this is normal?

You wont get an offer until your status changes to unconditional with UCAS.

My offer went unconditional a month ago and my application status is still 'submitted', I contacted them and they said this is normal, they have a backlog, so accommodation allocation is taking a while.

Which was your first choice for accommodation?
