What have you achieved today?

[tedfoxxx]

My sis went to Notts Uni about ten years ago and her first house was in Lenton.Not the nicest area but not the worst.

Yeah Dad seemed to think it would be a decent area. Going over soon to investigate i.e find a local and a cheap shop. I need to plan my dailly route into Southwell too, looks like it will take a couple of buses and a long walk.

 

[tedfoxxx]

Out of interest, where abouts in Notts?

Is it anywhere near Clifton and if so, do they need another male? :icon_wink

PM me for the address

My mate at uni was in a similar situation in his second year to you ted-he barely spent anytime at his place and stayed over at friends etc. So don't worry about being isolated

And £100+ a month in bus fares - assuming you do the journey every week day.

Once a fortnight should be enough.

St Annes would have been nice

I am sure this is by no means fantastic, but I've managed to successfully set up a wireless network at the first attempt...yay me :icon_lol:

Went out for a meal with friends and discovered when the bill arrived that I'd left my purse in my other handbag :icon_redf

How many more years are you going to pull that same old trick.

I like the way they've tried to rebrand Hyson Green as 'Hyson on the Green' :icon_lol:

I'm afraid to say the letch house is OFF. I phoned the silly cow earlier and she had rented both rooms out when I thought I had dibs on one of them. I have the address though, she's getting a reet good stalking over the next three years.

The disappointment of that has been countered by finding a very suitable house for a good price. Owned by a scary army man from Colchester, I've already spoken to him once but will phone back in the morning to say I defo want a room. Its in Lenton, We've figured out that I'll struggle to get the Brackenhurst campus I'm studying on in less than an hour, which is a bugger.

Still, moving out in two weeks..... Thats some grown-up shit.

Is your student loan big enough to cover a stab vest, flack jacket and tin hat?

Aye, will just have to live with that unfortunatly. I couldn't find anywhere in Southwell so travelling is the only option. My parents seem willing enough to help me out and I'll pretend to look for job when I get there too.

This is prob a daft question, but - Have you looked in Newark? Not sure what the prices are for renting etc, but its a hell of a lot closer to Southwell and I would imagine, with it being so close, there would be student digs there. Also, what with it having a train station, its easy to get in and out of Notts on a night out.

I know you said you're based in Southwell Ted but is that for the whole course or just for year 1? If you're at Trent Uni and are going to be moving to the city campuses in future years I'd be tempted to rent in Nottingham anyway, you'll get a better nightlife and provided the travelling each day is affordable and you can be bothered to do it, I'd rather travel for the day stuff and not have to bother trying to get back home after a night out when you go into the City.

Lenton is like any student area really, it's a bit rough round the edges but so are student areas in most cities. It's close enough to walk back after a night out and there a a lot worse areas to live in in Nottingham.

Yeah Newark was mentioned by a friend, I wouldn't mind getting settled in the city for the first year and then looking around the peripheral towns.

You need to realise that I have almost no idea what I'm doing and am going into this quite blind. I didn't expect to be going to Nottingham, but I bollocksed my exams and got rejected by Leicester. I'm under-prepared but I'll live and learn I'm sure, a bit of responsibility probably won't hurt me.:icon_bigg

I've heard there are chunks of the course done on a campus in the city. The Brackenhurst campus is nice and new but tiny. Hopefully I'll end up with the best of both worlds living in Nottingham.

Finished it by making up a load of rubbish since I don't know the answers.

Could be a big mistake, ted

You've got Freshers Week to prepare for, and if you go along all neat and tidy you'll attract all the silly tarts looking for boyfriend material

If you go along like an unkempt 'rebel' type then you'll stand a better chance with all the mucky pieces up for a quick knee-trembler round the back of the student union

You need to give this some more careful thought
