Living in University Halls

Andelusion · 26 Jul 2006 at 19:27

I'm setting off in 15minutes to finish painting my Uni house-bedroom! Wootage.

I bought loads of bedroomy stuff and cooking utensils the other day too, getting quite exciting now..

hehe - a classy meal at the keyboard, good stuff!

Had a very standard halls room

Then we landed a great flat. Massive bedrooms, photo shows a bit over half of it. £49/week.

£49 a week! Where are you living? Room looks very good for that price.

This would be very true, one of the girls from the flat above promised to cook for us because one of us lent her a computer to type an essay on. When she finally got round to it she somehow managed to use every pan in the place to make pasta and sauce(from a jar which she too from us anyway) and welded it to the pot base. That sort of ineptitude is difficult to achieve, I'm not much of a cook because I can't be bothered generally but I just can't think how she managed it.

lol....
First picture:
i can see that there is a walkway outside your window and that you have just done your washing/ironing.

Second picture:
I can see you have the same computer case as myself (Cobra case ohhhhhhh yeah

)

Third picture:
You like spongebob queerpants.

They're not a very high resolution so i had trouble looking at smaller things!

I'm really looking forward to Uni myself, meant to be going this season, but i havent sorted it yet. I did ucas/finance and that gumf, but i then decided i just wanted to earn real money now. Unfortunately i then realised how much Uni would pwn so im trying again, but im relying on clearing

.

Anyone here any experiences with clearing?

benjo plz. · 27 Jul 2006 at 20:12

Nothing wrong with leaving it a year...

Not clearing exactly, but last year I didn't get into my first 2 choices and so rang up the department at the University of Bath and managed to get in. However, I did have the grades for Bath as my first 2 choices were so high.

Girls always cooked for me

As for eating, it was very varied across the year. Halls were catered so if we woke up in time for breakfast we had that, dinner was done if we were around at the time. Otherwise it was full english breakfasts at the pub, tescos sandwiches, subways, nandos, garfunkels, wagamamas etc.

Ohhhhhhhhhh yes siree. Reminds me how much of a fool I am. When I first went to Uni and I was walking down the road and talking saying, 'I wish there was a noodle bar round here' just as I was walking past wagamamas. First thing I did was pop in and the food was delicious.

They should put pictures on their menu thou, its like shooting in the dark since i don't know what kind of noodles i am having even with the description on them.
