University

Awww this thread makes me want to go to Uni .. but only for the lifestyle, which is why I'm not going lol

[Abbie]

Now I can start thinking about what to take and planning everything Ok I know I said I was nervous but now Im dead excited. I know league tables dont really matter that much but I didnt realise that Exeter was 9th and me mam was like you've done well to get into to, cos this year so many people didnt get in cos there werent enough places in Uni's since so many had applied this year.

I just hope I got the accomodation I wanted

[Katy]

i took way too muich stuff that i didnt need.

Bet your feeling relieved now you know that you got in. you can really focus on preparing for the move and things.

[Abbie]

yeah same.
My mum has already started asking me what I want to take

I think I will take my TV just in case and my laptop is so unpredictable, but cos theyve already had the switch-over I need to take my freeview box

[Katy]

I took my TV me and my friend found it extremely useful when it was winter and we had a night in watching DVDs or something.

Laptops a major as well, id be lost without mine. May be worth buying a cheap printer, i did as it hjas saved me money in the longrun as i dont have to buy by the sheet in the Library.

I split it into essentials, would like but could do without and dont really need and would be stupid if i did catagories and then i could try and reduce the stuff.

[Abbie]

Oh I already have a printer Im taking, cos my old one broke so Epson gave us a big discount and this printer just like my old one has a built in scanner and its a copier, even though everyone uses it, it is mine

My mum has told me to start making lists of stuff

[Katy]

yeah its a good idea to take one, thats what mines like i picked it up cheaply and it has a copier and scanner which comes in handy when i need to copy my notes for people or theres for me. Cheaper again than the library.

YEah i always make lists yet somehow always manage to fioget something!

[Abbie]

Lol, Im worried about the suitcase to fit my clothes in

[StarsOfCCTV]

Try shops and supermarkets they usually have old cardboard boxes they don't want you can use for moving.

I have an old printer to take with me. Its a bit temperamental and slow which is why we got a new one but it still works and has a scanner so I'm going to take it. I think I will bring my TV too. Maybe me and my flatmates can share the license fee and just have the one telly...have to see about that.

The flatmates I've found on facebook seem really nice so far. Two girls and one boy currently. (6 in a flat though).

Quick question though - is it worth buying Freshers tickets in advance. There are 6 events I can go to on respective nights. Realistically I'm not going to go to all of them maybe 3 or 4. Also the last one is the 'main event' but it is £20. Is it worth paying that for a night out?...I'm not convinced but don't want to be stuck home alone so to speak..

Have to start shopping for uni stuff soon!

Two year ago when I bought Marley her laptop for her Christmas from pc world I got a hp colour printer there for £18 It was a great buy.
