haha, thats so true stars! this condem government is getting more and more ridiculas, first child benefit, then this.

For starters they should sit in a few university lectures and see what they are really like, i for one know where i went, they were not worth 3 grand never mind 9.

Someone said to me the other day that it's just like a really expensive library membership - couldn't agree more right now! (although tbf I don't have to pay this year, yet I still get support from the uni and they come and visit us, presumably using our previous tuition fees)

Agreed. My friend's already dropped out because she doesn't think the tuition is worth 3k a year. Economics lecturer was saying that it only affects people that are starting their A Levels now. I don't know what to believe about this any more. I for one wouldn't pay 9k a year, it's expensive enough as it is with accommodation on top.

Tori I thought we had to pay about £800 and something in placement year? Or is that just the business school?

I'm not sure because I know some people doing IBML and they are having to pay something, but LSS aren't... I would look into it though, as I really can't be sure. Would be odd if it wasn't uniform though! Although it could be because I'm abroad, but if you stay in the UK you have to pay as you (and the uni) don't get Erasmus.

Who was it that said that no accoommodation was complete without a traffic cone...

That is my door but I didn't put it there! Nearly walked straight into it when I went to go to my tutorial.

It's still here... instead of threatening to fine people for the kitchen not being spotless when the cleaner comes I think they should start charging it rent

[Tori]

Ooh is that the new build?

Have you heard about Rasheeda in Stafford Tower? The cleaner can't be as bad as her!

Yeah it is. I'll put a picture of my room up when I've tidied it up a bit. I heard a bit, knocking on people's doors at like 9:30am because the kitchen wasn't spotless or something? Our cleaner comes at about lunch time so we haven't had any such wake up calls. Our usual one is the head of the cleaners and refused to clean the entire kitchen once because my flatmate accidentally dropped his coco pops on the floor when she was there. The cleaner came to do the bathrooms the other week (that's done once a month) and when I wasn't in my room, took everything out of my bathroom and just dumped it anywhere. On the same day, she cleaned the middle three and skipped the other four.

Your accommodation looks really like mine last year! (At UWE) We didn't have cleaners though.

Lecturers are striking next Thursday, day off!

ETA:
I really dislike one of my lecturers right now. He set an essay where we can only use animals from the local zoo collection. How many desert animals do they have? Seven. And its like random lizards that there's little information on, no sidewinding snakes or camels etc. Its so frustrating because there's so many examples I can think of but the zoo doesn't have them! I've used five animals so far for 1,500 words. 500 more to go. This essay is like pulling teeth.

Communal fines suck, especially when you haven't used the shelf you're getting fined for since the week you moved in because people were stealing your stuff. When you've had your post stolen you're really not in the mood to pay for damage caused by someone else.
