Hey Thunderstorm I'm doing Computing for Business too. Also tried to change but the business school is full... however now I'm really keen for the course as it is leading me straight into IT Business Consultancy which is what I want.
what course did u try to change to? i just maybe wanna change to combined hons but 1) they probably wont let me and 2) i dont know if thats realy any better for me anyway. i want to maybe do consultancy too, it does look like a good degree for getting a job so i'll probably end up doing it. just a bit frightened about the 3rd year huge project but thats 3 years away if we do placement
hey y'all,
yes the forum meet up is on saturday but for those of u who are international and got here a week early meet me and phil in einies at 8pm tonight (tue) so u don't all fell wonley.......

I'm pretty sure every degree course has a huge project at the end mate?
I tried to change it to Business and IT or something like that, so practically the same thing just more business but the school was full. No biggy... most career types accept any degree and with a title like Computing for Business I can pretend there's more business than there is if I want
just wondering.
another internet question. for ensuit is it purely wireless or is there an ethernet socket on the wall of the desk which will allow you to connect to the net using a wire instead of a network card.
and are you lot going to take food with you when moving in or you lot just going to buy from there?
oh and are you lot bringing your medical cards for enrolment or have you lot filled out that purple form. im abit lost with that. does your gp have to fill that purple form aswel?
i think i should really start to pack now. havent started!

me neither im quite disorganised right now. i have sorted out insurance for possessions (well if filling in the form and posting it with the money counts!) i have got some boxes but thats it. i dont know whether to take saucepans, etc as dont know what everyone else is doing. it seems silly for everyone to take them but i dont wanna be a freeloader. im going to just wait till get there and then go out and buy them in bham if i need them (which i probably will!) saves a bit of space though as i dont have any to bring anyway. just taking plates etc and knives forks.
not going to take any food no, go food shopping once there.
i dont know about that medical thing yet. havent sorted that either" lol

RE Internet Query
Taran, The internet in ensuite accom is wireless broadband. You have a phone socket and you can i believe get 56k dial up if you wish but i think it is done by the minute so very expensive and outdated. There is no ethernet connection point.
Its probably best you buy a few things on the day you move in rather than troll over to brum with lots of food taking up space. That way you'll also know how much room in the kitchen you will have.
Hope this helps,

About the internet, can we have a card installed now or do we wait until we get to uni and then they install a card there?
If we can get it now, where from and what is it?
RE the card thing - you provide your own wireless card or USB adaptor. I found out today that you can buy the USB adaptors for £17.50 from the uni computer shop on the fourth floor.
Insurance - it totally depends on the value of the stuff you bring. My insurance costs **** loads but then again i have a lot of electrical gear and expensive clothes that bring my premium up lol

Hey here's a nother good question:
Parking at Aston for student's: Is it a) free, b) not free c) non existant d) Should I buy a Rail/bus/rail+bus card for the 28th?
Parking at Aston for student's: Is it a) free, b) not free c) non existant d) Should I buy a Rail/bus/rail+bus card for the 28th?
you'll have difficulty if youre a student expecting to park on campus, in the centre of birmingham in business hours. madness. Aston does not allow students to park on campus and theres limited free space for it near campus.
Come in by rail / bus.
Re wireless cards - The Computer Shop has plenty of Wireless adaptors/cards , i asked lol
