Excited? Nervous? I just got some bumph through on email from the Orthoptic Department at Liverpool Uni - apparently I should've sent all my bursary forms in ages ago, argh >.< Who's applying for accommodation on-campus - are you going for catered or self-catered? They need so many forms filled out :/

Erm, yeah, talk about random uni-related stuff ;) Who's going where to study what this September? Joining any societies? The anime society at Liverpool Uni are giving away free Pocky at Fresher's Fair XD

Goldsmiths (New Corss in London), Psychology

haha...thank goodness that im living at home...so not so much to fill in!! :heh:

And you don't have to pay so much for accommodation! Accommodation in London is soooo expensive, I'm really glad that I won't have to worry about paying that if I get sent there on clinical placement - though I would have to buy a monthly tube ticket which would be a pain >.<

£74 for a one semester bus pass :crybaby: I'm gonna be so bloody poor!

well...thats a better than £1-- (??!?) travel card for each month!!!!!! lol...but then again...i guess that i really dont ahve other expenses as you do....lol

now...wheres all the other uni students going-to-be gone?

I'm going to study Japanese at the "Hogeschool Zuyd" in Maastricht, all the way in the southern tip of the Netherlands. Hence I'm living in Belgium starting next week =P

Small note: "Hogeschool" translates directly to Highschool but in the Netherlands it's one of the two types of universities we have. "Zuyd" is a way of spelling "Zuid" which means South.

And I'm just stupid _ _

Naw, you're not stupid - you can spell, that's better than a lot of people XD I have all my term dates for this year - practically a whole month of my summer holidays I'm gonna be spending on clinical placement, booooo! :bleh:

P.S. Also, I put this in the private forum originally 'cause I wasn't sure if people would want the general public to know where they're studying at Uni etc, but if nobody minds it being here that's fine ~

UAD- computer games technology

I'm staying at home, the only problem with that is the travel cost because of where I live.
Whats going to be really interesting is the Dare to be digital contest

Wow, that sounds like a challenging course - a lot of graphics and programming involved, no doubt?

yep, but thankfuly we don't get into the graphics until year 3 so there is plenty of time to get ready

I always thought that living in dorms were free...
So that's why students are so poor...

I'm going to University of Birmingham to study music, whee ~ :D I'm going to live on campus (actually, near it) and going for self-catered. It's so I don't have to pay for meals over weekends/holidays or breakfasts I miss when I might not be around/awake. I haven't got any forms yet. Only thing I've sent off really is my confirmation for my place on the course.

Yeah, I went for self-catering 'cause I'm not gonna be there half the time XD And yes, self-catered suits you Spoon 'cause you're a late riser ;) *remembers Angelic going "Waaah, Spoon's still in bed" on numerous occasions over MSN in the morning* :P

Phenix - wish I had your luck, I have to do loads of optics in the first year in order to get up to the same standards as the Physics A-Level students. Dammit, I HATED Physics when I did it at GCSE, I thought I'd seen the last of it x_x

Eternal - my accommodation is gonna cost me about £2556 a year! The only problem being my student loan is only £2050...

im doing.. accounting at Holmesglen Institution of TAFE (which isnt really a uni :heh: but in a way its the same thing)
and i take a 1hr public transport trip from home.... zzzZZZ

Ahhh, but you have SATS :ph34r:

Ahhh, but you have SATS :ph34r:

WAAHHHH that's right and I'm SCARED ~ *CRY*

Heh, don't worry - it's a walkover compared to what you'll be doing in the two years after that ;)

SATs were a dose!! lol....well...not for me anyway....

Finally the uni site works...got enrolment details and term dates and now im starting to panic that they wont be able to teach all in that little amount of time/i wont be able to cramp all in that short amount of time X_X

Wah, no fair, everyone else going to Liverpool are getting their info packs with all the Fresher's Week activities and stuff and I ain't got mine :cry: Just over three weeks till I go :D

"The rare and elusive Comp.sci major" - Machall comics

Orientation tomorrow, gotta buy textbooks, pick up cards, scholarships, more orientations early sept, strange stuff happening in the first week of sept..

I have to take my ACTs ...another thing I worry about cuz I do horrible on the practice papers.

Going to Simon Fraser University in Vancouver
Excited...nah more like stressed lol

Immunology is trez cool :D Ottakar's phoned me up today, my two textbooks are ready to pick up. £100 down the khazi already and I ain't even GOT there, not to mention that the other book I need to order is £68 or summat (RRP £99.50 X_X) Went down to the doctor's today to get my last Hep B vaccination done and they tried to give me a sodding MMR one instead - what the hell? :blink:

Good luck in school everyone!!!!! Study hard, be amazing, and have fun! ^_^ :drinking:

Went down to the doctor's today to get my last Hep B vaccination done and they tried to give me a sodding MMR one instead - what the hell? :blink:

Yeah it seems there is a nationwide mumps outbreak going on throught the current student poplulation, I got a note about it with my registration stuff.

same here.....got a medical card that i had to fill in....but it needed my GP to stamp it.....they told me that it costs me £30 for it to be just stamped!! so rude!

£30?! Geez x_x I'm so glad Mum's kept records of all my vaccinations - I've already had two doses of MMR and would've ended up with a 3rd if I hadn't been able to prove that I'd already had it done :\ I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry, but man, I'm so sick of having needles stuck in me >.< Sending off my NHS Bursary application form today, hope they give me lotsamoney :D Less than 3 weeks till I go now!

I spent hours filling out 20+ pages of forms just to get student loans x.x Will be mailing off soon . . *is glad his hospital is accredited by UBC (University of British Columbia)*

Edit: My hospital forgot to check me for vaccintions, wahahaha =D

I only just got mine today, so don't worry. Should be getting it soon. They said (for me anyway) that they it might take them up to October to calculate what you're eligible to receive.

what!!??! my goodness......but i need it soon...:cry: damn them.....working so slow <_< o wells....i feel a bit better about it now....thanks hun!

Good job to you all! You made it in life :P Your all smart people, and if you made it this far, you cant go back XD

Oooo, I forgot student loan applications would be busy at this time of the year - they did mine relatively quickly but then I sent my form off before results came out so that could well be why. Don't worry, you'll get your assessments soon! I made a complete mess of the application form and rang them up about twenty times but mine still went through okay, and I'm sure you two aren't as ditzy about form-filling as I am XD

Good job to you all! You made it in life :P Your all smart people, and if you made it this far, you cant go back XD

ergh don't say we're all smart. I did rubbish. <_<

but i sent off the application form in may O_O;; ......shouldnt they have done it vy now??

we're not smart...well...at least not me anyway..its called luck and chances!

MAY?! :bleed: Erm, yeah, they kinda should've done :blink: Might be an idea to phone 'em up and make sure nobody ate it by mistake!

lol....your reaction was a bit extreme there :heh: anyway..have decided to go over to ask them next week...since im never good at talking over the phone with important stuff.....

Yeah, I sent mine back in May too. The deadline was end of June though.

I just got a whole pack of stuff from the university Music department... I have to pay even MORE money??? Membership this and dinner that... not to mention the endless list of scores.

I know the feeling - I have to fork out for Athletics Union membership, dinner fees and blah. Not to mention £25 for clinical equipment. They want me to buy my own pen torches, occluders, fixators etc when you can get 6 pen torches from an NHS catalogue for £1.60 >.< Rip off merchants!
