Hitesh Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 Has anybody got any hints and tips for University! Plus i also need a list of stuff to take!
computingelite Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 Try and live where most people will be living, choose the place where you'll be sharing with as many as possible. You will not regret it, unless you're a boring hermit type. The first year of Uni is all a laugh and about meeting people, having fun and generally socialising. All you need to take are... Clothes PC Musak Films Food (for the first week but I'd buy some down there on the first day if I was you - and get your mum or dad to pay for it Beer Your personal belongings, documentation, the bits of paper work etc. There's not that much to it really Buy yourself a plate or two, a set of knives n forks n all that crap..
Anish Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 If you're sharing a kitchen with 10 or so people, I'd watch out for people nicking your food. Bastards!

computingelite Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 Condoms 161229[/snapback] you can always buy them on campus
freund Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 please dont play music loud and late, i had problems with it guys
cisono Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 you can always buy them on campus 161244[/snapback] They may even give some out for free at Freshers Fair...
computingelite Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 They may even give some out for free at Freshers Fair... 161248[/snapback] true that. I remember the essex uni freshers fair had a massive stall with loads of dope stuff in like bongs n stuff
computingelite Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 on that note it would be a good idea to attend freshers fair because there will be loads of societies that you will probably be interested in. There has to be at least one anyway The only one I signed up to was the MGS soc. Multiplayer Gaming Society... and the lans were great
Newcastle_Fox Posted 22 August 2005 Posted 22 August 2005 One of these full of beer would be good for keeping in ya room at uni, also good for food and milk etc!
Hitesh Posted 23 August 2005 Author Posted 23 August 2005 One of these full of beer would be good for keeping in ya room at uni, also good for food and milk etc! 161273[/snapback] We are not allowed fridges in our room! Are you staying in halls or in a shared house? 161228[/snapback] Halls! Got that sorted now, im on the 9th floor out of 20 so not bad! Gonna be a struggle getting up all the stairs when drunk and apparently the lift doesnt always work!
Hitesh Posted 23 August 2005 Author Posted 23 August 2005 what uni is everyone going to? 161547[/snapback] Aston university in Birmingham to study Computer Science!
Foxes_Wizard_Striker Posted 23 August 2005 Posted 23 August 2005 try to find a fellow leicester city fan you need to stick together when rest of univesrty give you stick for being a lcfc fan when they should wasting their breath giving either sheep or forest the sticks
Anish Posted 23 August 2005 Posted 23 August 2005 Another tip: while you're living in halls you'll probably have super fast broadband internet (well they did at Warwick), so make the most of it by downloading all the films/tv series you can.
