    So who has started uni?

    Bristol uni, which I know starts quite late, kicks off its week zero next week. Ah, it'll be lovely to see the wide eyed freshers getting a taste of freedom. Anyhow, that means most uni newbies will have started by now, and I know that means a fair few HEXITES will fall into that category.

    So, come on... who's started uni? What's your accommodation like? What you studying?

    Ooo one of my good mates Simon went there, to study graphic design or something, apparently a really good Uni.

    I'm doing an Art Foundation course atm @ a local college, then will probably try to get into a London Uni of Art, since London ones are apparently the best *shrugs*. I really am not bothered by distance though as I plan to get my own dorm anyway, so if anyone feels like challenging that, feel free

    I'm starting my second year of Computer Science at Bath Uni on Monday. Got myself an awesome flat with one other person. I finally have a double bed!!! The best bit is I'm pretty much in the centre of town, not that Bath is that big mind you.

    I started yesterday, doing Computer Network Management and Design at RGU, i'm staying at home though, no student accomodation for me, its only a 13mile bus journey, and a a Unirider pass (or passes, I think i'll need 2 for the whole year, need to see when im off etc), works out cheaper than staying in town!
