that's settled the nerves a little!!

felt a bit nervous that i was the only southerner on the freshers facebook site!! most people on there i noticed are from the west midlands themselves/bristol/anglia areas etc...

There is a freshers' facebook site

I'm going to have to look for that (part of my job is to organise freshers - and I didn't know there was 'out on facebook)

yeah, i wouldn't worry aids

there's a bit of regional banter but its all light hearted.......it makes no difference once you're there

all of my friends at uni are northern barring one

 

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Well done to everyone who got into uni - everyone who didnt get their grades - dont worry, there are loads of options!

some advice please...my son has his welcome pack from Winchester uni which says enrolment is 19th September. From that date does he stay in Winchester, or is that literally enrolment and then he starts a week or so later? Trying to sort out his part time job...hoping to transfer to Sainsburys in Winchester but doesn't know when from. Thanks in advance for any help

Go Go BRUNEL!

Which campus? I was Uxbridge but spent my first year at runnymede.

She has just accepted the offer to do a foundation there and is very chuffed.

Good girl. One of my daughters friends is going there and is really looking forward to it. Sometimes these things simply work out for the best. I hope she has a good evening - my daughter and mob are clubbing in town tonight.

the way it works in CHELTENHAM is that you are there permanently from enrollment - probabaly best to check though

Ahhh Freshers Week at Brunel's ACADEMY - a truly legendary place. Wonder if they still do the bad taste bash?

Enrolment is usually on the 1st or 2nd day of Freshers Week, so he'll probably want to be around for the whole of that time.

More importantly - winchester has a University - lived there years and never knew that!

DC,

In my experience, Freshers' is when most people drift back from wherever
they are to 'prepare' for the next year. A lot of the second and third years are
around at this time - and it is a good time to get familiarised with the campus..

Of course all depends on availability of Hall of Res. if that is what you are offered
and/or whether you want to get involved with Fresher's...can be good way of meeting people......and or whether you have your accommo sorted out...


Hope that helps.

God help anyone who has to spend any time in or near Uxbridge itself, I remember it being a dull, godforsaken dump when I lived there (may have improved since, of course).

Congrats to all those who got their results today and are going off to their respective unis, good luck to you all for the future.

It's such an exciting time of year. My son now has his Cellarman's certificate!

Bloody hell, what a MENTAL day.

Eldest now confirmed at Bristol to read Psychology.

Plenty of raw material in this house!

However good or bad an education you get at Winchester University, you walk away with the kudos of being able to say "I was educated at Winchester". That will open doors for the rest of your life.
