I don't know if that'll happen too often...

Though, if all the nights are as humid as last night was, it may.

It'll happen ... trust me ...

*beginning to like dorm life*

(but beginning to be unable to spell... )

You're in college now...you don't have to know how to spell.

*burp*

Hehehe... I like that.

Though you are an English Major...

Hey Amy

So how is college?

Whats your roomate like?

Tim

College is fun so far... though I haven't done any class stuff yet-- classes start Sodit. And my roommate is very nice. And TJ was right-- she's not around a lot... which is good and bad.

I'm glad you are having fun so far

I'm glad you are having fun so far

Me too! I was so afraid that I wouldn't like it.

I have already talked to my roomate on the phone earlier in the summer and she seems nice. I think we will get along since we seem to have some common interests

I can't wait to meet her on Monday

*burp*

so damm organized it aint like that in the UK

when started uni I uz sleeping on a friends sofa as i wuz between gaffs, but during my first week at uni I bumped into the brother of a girl I used to date when I wuz in brighton & there was a room going spare in the flat he wuz shareing, now owards the end of our first year his granny died (& this happened just as the property market collasped) and his parents inherrited the house - so his parents suggested that he & his friends might want to live there until we graduated.
I was lucky. Most of my contemparys didnt know where they would be living from one month to the next being either fond of oing moonlight flits from landlords or liveing in squats.

Your all too bloody organized

Why can't you all just live in normal college dormitories?

most colleges here gaurantee an on campus dorm for first year students but many don't gaurantee a dorm for everybody after that. I know that the one I'm going to doesn't but if you want one second year you can normally get one if you get the housing form in on time. Many people move off campus after the first year.

I kinda like the idea of Amy, or any other student, having a place to stay in, Happy. I know I'd have a hard time getting rented apartment when I was studying, and I was lucky to be a Kibbutz kid, having the support and backup of my community, which also meant I didn't have to bust my a** working night shifts to afford the place, which here is usually a tiny bedroom and a shared living room and kitchen with 3-4 strangers you have to get along with...

Hi Elly

London is a special case, because of the very high property prices a lot of students in my day chose to avoid paying rent by either sqatting or doing moonlight flits (not paying any rent for three monthes or & ten moving without leaving a forwarding address). The other thing to remember about the UK higher education in general is that we have very few 'Campus Style' facilities (the only one that I have visitedwas stirling & I didnt like it).

So do a lot of people just go to a local college?
