Internt in Lakesde aye, I assume I require an ethernet cable of some sort? Anyone are to confirm that.
Secondly, external internet provider, i.e. just as you would at home, pay a third party for the actual browser and access and simply conect via the Uni broadband. How quick is it, at peak times specifically? And are there any downtimes or problems that have arisen recently, im involved in online gaming projects and 24 hour access is essentially a must.

As further points of interest, I'm a drummer, Aston offer any places for practicing on campus (I forgot to ask at open day tbh) and if not, i assume there are privately renatable rooms within the city for hire by bands/individuals, anyone know if these are fairly priced or a complete jip? any any recommendations would be useful.
Anyone started uni shopping? I've got a shitload of stuff im positive is going to be used incorrectly and end up resulting in the use of fire extinguishers to put out the flames.

We've some great music societies. The Aston Music society is more for your traditional instruments and is very popular as is the Live Music Society [LMS] for more popular music.
Do you ever use any electronic kit at all? I ask as I'm looking to record / perform with some other people at some point but I am not really after a typical run of the mill mainstream rock group with people singing the same songs in mock american accents. I want to do something synth led. You'll find like minded people in LMS when you see them at the Freshers Fair on the sunday after freshers week and before term starts.
Re Chatty_Chic - "im a student right?" - true and already one happy to stay within a very dated and unfair stereotype. oh well.

Just because some people on here [people who use computers a lot] don't like Football it doesnt mean its not popular at aston, think of the demographics computer users and football dont often go hand in hand lol.
You'll find people with similar tastes at uni no problem. If you want to play football we have teams you can try out for. Info will be in your freshers' handbook when you get it.

cheers indy
altho im not an international student ! still feel a bit better about it though lolwith kitchen stuff just think "less is more". have yourself a nice big frying pan or skillet - these are multi usable from frying an egg to making that big "everything left in the fridge before it goes off" stir fry.
Maybe have 2 boiling pans with that - one big, one medium sized one.
a couple of plates, a good sharp knife and you can never have enough clean mugs; take as many as you can bare leaving around your desk lol
