Major Project: Research

Here is something I found on the Freshers Facebook page, posted by someone who was in halls last year.

Part 4 :Large packages will be sent to the halls office for collection.Also some post will be put into the other letterboxes because the postmans blind.
The water in halls is shit, it's hard and might make you feel horrible if your not from the area or used to it, buy a filter.
You dont have unlimited fridge space so think about the fact you might be sharing with up to 6 other people. Just bring essentials food wise.

Part 3:
Right best cure for hangovers, Eat toast or bread, and drink water, hangovers are caused by dehydration so stay hydrated or feel like shit at uni basically. ( do this before going to bed)
Register yourself at a doctor, theres one up the road from halls called lockmeadow. The 85, 7, 6 buses go into town it costs £1.10 a single, £2.00 a return, also the 85 goes to the hospital, otherwise its like a 4 mile walk.
Check myuca email reguarly when you've sorted your accounts, your tutors will not baby you.

Part 2 :
You can freeze your bread and milk, so if you stock up, freeze it will lasts ages.
Get loads of painkillers, Flu meds etc because you will most likely get a tummy upset or freshers flu within the first month or so. Collect up all your 10ps and 20ps because you'll need that extra change for washing and drying your clothes, its expensive but necessary unless you want to smell like a dead badger.
