Living Away From Home At Uni....

[JLovely]

Yer, I REALLY WANTED to get away.It's near Manchester and Blackpool.I'm pissed IF I end up with a bunch of people that are going to ba all ignorant and sh*t and recite bait 50 Cent or Eminem lines when they see me.

LOLBelieve you'll probably get that...their gonna ask you what music you like and such.

[Dadinho]

You willYou'll probably get a lot of them cringeworthy Ali G hand movements country bumpkins do when trying to relate to 'urban' folk as well

[Realz.]

so will it be your 1st yr carlos?

[CRLS AGAIN]

Yer it will be my first year.At camp yer, I nearly buss this guy's head that kept calling me Ali GI swear, I wanted to do it soooo bad and I'm not even violent.In the end I gave him this look at the salad bar, that from then on we did not speak till the end of it. and this dude's bunk was right next to time.

do not put any nice food in the shared kitchen or fridges...they will get moved to in a fashion and not just from people in your kitchen. last year i never went shopping just stole bare other peoples food...my advice buy a lil mini fridge for about £50 and store your sh*t in there in ur room. its the only way i tell you

tru storiesthats wat am gonna do next yearn i only intend 2 keep minor ting in the kitchen stil like cerealeveryfin else goin in my roomdont no how its guna fit in there

I will be surprised if you can last the full 3 years.Most people I know from Preston love the the big cities (Birmingham, Leeds, London).They even prefer Newcastle and Bristol!The one's that leave Preston for a "big" city don't return .Good luck!

[Dadinho]

Bristol's more live than Birmingham trust me

u going kingston uni?

[kurious]

yeah

[fedfaced3]

at my halls it's all organised into flats of 6-8 rooms for some reason. And i'm pissed, and so is most of everyone else going to halls most unis because you're not allowed fridges in your own room. fire hazard bullshitsome unis you're not allowed to take ur own duvet

[Nola D]

living away from home, it fine as long as u dont run outta money. I go derby uni which is down the road from notts, nottingham's a decent city i was gonna move there and communte to derby but it seemed like a long ting. Moving into a bad house this year 5 bedrooms en suite nicely furnished, my house last year was a sh*t hole and i fell out with the people i lived with so it wasnt a good look.

[Em Dott]

Make sure you let them know you won't stand for sh*t. ANd get prepared to swipe some of their goods, becuase they will do it for you. It can be alright, or it can be sh*t.My Halls was alright, although I think I was one of the 15 black students in that entire Halls. And I had to share a shower and toilet which I hated. The amount of times I was goign to get into something with the third year, and then man would try and bred me later. Almost made me feel bad.But hope your halls ain't got security so you can't get any grief about who your bringing in at any time. Certain halls like the en-suites had security guards making people sign people in and they had a set limit of how many you can bring in.Oh yeah, pray you have clean housemates, because they can put you off cooking if they were raised like they live in a barn.

It's good, if it is your first year of uni you can pretty much afford to get drunk every day.That year for me was a massive chill, sit back and relax year.You need to work though if you are paying for your housing out of your student loan and receive very little/no financial support from family.Live out, it will be good... Socialise, drink, party.... The first year is the only year you can fully live the student life so take the opportunity while you can.

how is it living off, say hypothetically, £300 a month?

[Kurtis]

Oh and if your living on campus and sharing facilities make your presence known! Or else your flatmates will take the piss.

im lookin to use my "big black guy/never seems happy/doesnt dress smart" look for thatbut i aint even a tough person so itll hav to be an impression ting

[Bacardi_Up]

how is it living off, say hypothetically, £300 a month?

Including the rent?3 bill a month (excluding housing) is easily manageable.You might find it difficult if you got a girlfriend.

[Kurtis]

waitwhat im gettin from this is... in the first year u live in halls, then u move to shared housing?

£300, you could live well on that but llow any needy girls that will send you into overdraft.

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]
