I also got mine today, did the same as Lil Lee Lee in regards to the picture.

Taran, I think you will find that the week pass @ £30 is a card to all the night events during freshers week.
The £25 privilege one is the price to all Fresher week events if you already have this £15 privilege card for 05-06.

Or for £40 you get a Privilege card for 2005-2006 to give you £1 off all guild events and a Fresher week event pass.
:frown: i havent got anythng yet.I havent even got a welcome pack yet :frown:
ok

societies - as many as you can afford
privelage card - does not need to be bought but will get you money off during freshers week (if you are paying seperately) and money off all events for the reat of the year

week pass - if you do plan to go to all events get this it will save you money and guarentee entry up til 10.30 i think

im goping for the £40 week/privelege pass means i get my priv.card and enrty to all events.........

Yeah I made my Astonaut card up as well today. Felt strange doing it myself lol
Question - do all rooms have internet access (don't care whether it's broadband or not)? Preferably not wireless, but I could get a card I guess...specifically Stafford tower if anyone knows...I can't find the info anywhere - Aston website or TSR. My 28.8 kbps connection doesn't help much, stupid thing *rants away*
guys i just found out something thats makin me feel poo.
my intl. foundation course STARTS on the 26th of sept. which means no freshers week for me cuz id be havin classes.

Thats everything I believe?

I didnt have a welcome pack, but I did get a letter saying "Welcome To The School of Life & Health Sciences" lol
So no one else has been asked for a passport sized photograph? For the Aston campus card?
