Well, after much consideration I decided to accept my offer of shared accomodation in Chancellors court. Trying to look on the positive side of things! However, if you are in room 46 on the 3rd floor in chancellors court, i am pretty certain i am sharing a room with you. Kinda scary to be honest, but hey roomie! I concur to the vodka plan, although tequila is probably my preferred tipple. Also, yes my offer is unconditional firm.

I'm studying history and chinese, and perhaps japanese as an outside course. What are you studying?
Phew, to be honest its a relief that you said that! I am quite messy, but i'll try and be tidy as possible :smile:

Do you have facebook?

If you don't know already theres this facebook group for people living in Chancellors Court :http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=96425892535&ref=ts

I'm studying english lit and history an possibly italian as my outside course. nope don't have facebook...got really fed up of bebo/facebook,etc one day and just deleted them all.lol saves a lot of time!

my names probably confusing you, its very irish but pronounced aid-een. do u know many ppl going to edinbugh?

I'm flying to Edinburgh, so I can't really take that much stuff, I still can't stop shopping though! Shopping is my weakness and it doesn't help I work in a clothes shop, so I'm surrounded by temptation all the time.

Yeah, thats fair enough about the whole social networking thing, it is quite time consuming.

My name's Serrena, its pronounced just like Serena, but for some reason my dad decided to add an extra r to my name. I was wondering about your name, but its really cool, its unique. I don't know anyone going to edinburgh, I just wanted a change more than anything so I'm going far away from home as possible. Do you know many people going to edinburgh? Some of my friends applied to edinburgh, but none got in. Having said that I do have some relatives in edinburgh, so its not too bad.
When are you going to edinburgh?

Does anyone know if it just says "twin ensuite" on your accommodation offer does that mean two single beds or bunk beds? Or would they specify if it was a bunked room, like "bunked ensuite" or something?

By the way anybody 2nd floor chancellor's court with me?

Reply 953

Damn, I was hoping it wouldn't be. Aw well. Thanks for telling me. I found my roommate on facebook though and she's letting me have the bottom bunk, so i'm hapy about that. This whole situation is just a bit crap.

Does anyone know what the policy is for getting deliveries to self catered flats? I'll be living in South College and am about to order my NUS Extra card but it takes 7-10 days to arrive so would it be ok to put down my South College street address for delivery? And does anyone know whether post comes direct to that address of whether you have to collect it from elsewhere?

If you're living in a flat you simply give the address of the flat. X/Y South College Street, Edinburgh, etc. where X is the building number and Y is your flat number. The post will come as often as people in your building let the postie in, and for some reason students are really bad at letting him in, but great at letting leafletters and randomers in... but it'll probably make it 4 days a week. And letters are automatically redelivered if they can't get in the first time around whilst parcels go to the sorting office or your nearest post office and you get a notice through your door (being an address in a UK city it get standard UK postal service)...
