I think people are forgetting how much 30 is to a student.

Thats most of my weekly food gone :P
So it's not just, oh it's just 30 just pay it and be done with it.

They don't do it 'Purely to get back at us Students' They do it because your loud music is effecting there quality of life, believe me when you need to get up for work in the morning at 6am and the idiot next door is playing his stereo till 3am you'd be straight on the phone to the uni. It is often easier than ringing the police and normally gets quicker results, the police and council take time.

If he wasn't at uni what would you do then? He very well could have been a non student living in a private house(which he is). The fact that his at uni, changed the situation outside of a uni situation.

You just sound extremely bitter.

£30 to a student, whats that one night out on the lash? I was a student for ten years so don't plead poverty it's not going to stick.

I'm not bitter I just wish the OP would accept responsibility for his own actions. If the person next door wasn't a student then obviously you can't contact the uni and your stuck with the slow process of the police and the council but why wouldn't you take advantage of any option open to resolve an issue? I'll happily contact the police the council your landlord or anyone else I can think of to get a quiet life. The OP is not outside of a uni situation he is a student living in a city as such and he is responsible for upholding the standards of the university and maintaining peace and harmony with the local comunity.

I have the same attitude to noisey neighbours be they students or not, it is totally inconsiderate.
 
I really do not appreciate the obnoxious assumption by people on here that I fall under the typical inconsiderate student bracket. This is the first time it had happened. Are you trying to tell me you've never come back from a night out and made some noise? The student-occupied house either side of our house were also empty so I thought no one would be have been able to hear me anyway.

People in this country need to learn to man up/grow up and sort things themselves. Unless for some reason they are terrified of me, I don't see why they couldn't have knocked on my door in the morning and demanded assurance it wouldn't happen again. That's exactly what I would have done. It's exactly what the girls next door did earlier on in term and now if there's ever a problem they text me and I turn it down. If they did this and then I started playing loud music again, or I was extremely aggressive and obnoxious - THEN phone the university/police. It is what any decent, mature person would do - and in life if you treat someone with respect, they will return it.

It's a shame other people don't think like me, it would save the police time and money and cause less grief for everyone. Grassing up just ****** people off.
 
I've already said I take responsibility for my actions. I've already said I appreciate students cause chaos. I've already said I'm sorry. I've already said I know people have to get up at 7.30am to go to work and have kids. So stop saying you wish i'd take responsibility for my action. (not actions, this is a one-off occasion)

So you say in one sentence it was a one off and then in the next sentence that the girls next door have had a problem and now when they have further problems they have to txt you to get it turned down. So what is the truth is this a one off or a regular occurence? I've also been through noisey neighbour wranglings and the council will not send someone out for a one off first offence.

It's all well and good saying they should come round the next day, by then it's too late they've already lost the nights sleep and applogies and guarentees of no further problems are cheap and often worthless. Hell maybe they just fancy causing you a bit of grief in exchange for the grief you've caused them? Obviously it would be preferable to you for them to sort it out face to face as it saves you from the police etc why would it be preferable to them when what they seek is a permanent and lasting solution? You're not in secondary school anymore grassing people up is no longer banned under playground rules.

PS You haven't taken responsibility for you actions because you're trying to weedle your way out of the consequences of your actions.

I've had a Section 3 from the council and a warning from the police.

I accept the consequences of my actions.

A month later, I get issued a £30 fine by the university. They can **** off.

people like you get on my nerves who won't stick up for your rights and just accept exploitation by the system. I love the school analogy, because this is precisely the sort of thing that would happen at school.

You got a section 3 for a first offence? I notice you dodged that question about repeat offences.

You've still never really explained why you think the uni can **** off you have breached the terms of you agreement with them and they have elected to fine you a nominal amount to remind you about your future conduct, I really can't see how you can have a problem with this? This has nothing to do with this big human rights civil liberties thing your trying to stir up, it basically boils down to you being an inconsiderate noisey chav who's too tight to pay up.

You're hilarious mate. An inconsiderate noisy chav indeed. I hope you get terrorized by an real inconsiderate noisy chav in the future.

This is the first time anything has happened. A Section 3 warning was issued and this was the first offence. Stop being smart arse and just accept that I am not the picture you're painting but a considerate student who made one mistake and just wants to get on with it.
