I'll be studying at the Pharmacy school. For enrolment, I'm not sure whther to come by car or catch the train. I'm staring at one of thos centro card leaflets as I speak. Would it be worth getting the full bus AND rail pass, or just rail pass? How far is Pharmacy school from Aston station?
im going to need a wiereless card now. i thougth aston might have put in place a backup system of an ethernet connection in rooms just incase the wirelsss fails.
hmmm. time to start counting the days again.
get a travel card if your going to be traveling to an from uni everyday, as in not living out. in booklets and the prospectus is says no parking for students. there will probably be paid parking somewere but i doubt itll be cheap.

I wouldn't worry too much about wireless cards. If you cant get them at the uni shop, Toys R us in the city centre has loads of them for £20 (Belkin 54g PCI and USB Adapters both). I got one from there, and its pretty good.
Here's a list of the services u can get in the halls. Have to say connection signal, quality and speed is pretty good (maybe cos there aren't too many students around
) Real test will be when all the students come back as to what speeds you're getting. I've signed up for the 12 months 512k package for £150 as its less hassle than paying monthly

STOP STOP STOP
DO NOT use Aston Station. Aston rail station is absolutely miles away and will take you ages and ages to walk to.
The nearest stations are Snow Hill (ten min walk), Moor Street (ten minute walk) and New street (15 minute walk)
Aston Uni is in the City Centre, not in Aston itself.
Hope Ive cleared up any confusion and saved you getting lost lol
btw, If youve recently bought a laptop, many of the newer ones above £500 include built in wireless (Not the card) - it may not be neccesary for you to buy a wireless card. So id check tht before you do. Pointless wasting 11 quid or so for a decent card for you to already have the capability.
al-ien
yeah the annual 512 package looks allright. But still, I would have expected a free internet in a university accommodation...
Well, you do get free access in the computer labs 24 hours (except CS ones, where you have to pay £5 for the whole year for Out of Hours Access). I think its pretty good they've provided access (even paid) in the rooms as the first 2 years I was here, there was none and it was a real pain going all the way to the labs all the time just to check your email or chat with someone.
Although the 512 package is a little slow as compared to what u get outside, its pretty good value at £12.50 a month, if all you want is to check your mail, chat, do a bit of research or play a few games (getting pretty good pings btw
)if accomodation at manachester is less than £100 a week id consider that to be decent.
oh yea, another question. currently im looking for a phone contract (my first one) seeing as uni will prob rinse me on my beloved o2 pay as you go which ive had for over 5 years.
my mate told me she had phone peoples come to the freshers fair to offer some really good contracts to students.
will there be some phone mans (companies or shops) being represented at our freshers day with some nice deals?
i really wana go contract.

Just a thought, how long does it take to get the internet in your room? My friend's desperate to talk to me as soon as humanly possible
silence has seem to come over the aston section. could this be a farewell to aston 2005 students?
