    What happens if you keep it?

    They're taking away all the emails and accounts from finished fourth years in November I think

    I got 95 extra on top of what I paid. So I was rather chuffed. :)

    Studying for this repeat is awful. Even worse when the lecturer wont give you solutions to past papers

    ****e. I've a feeling one of my housemates had an electric blanket or something that sapped a lot of energy. We were also charged for painting though I failed to notice what needed painting... but knowing my housemates, it's probably reasonable.

    I think they just charge everyone for painting...

    TBH, I was extremely surprised to get so much back this time. Last year I lost 70 quid, mostly due to overuse of electricity. This year I got 101 surplus on electricity, and on more than one occasion I fell asleep with my heater on. So what in the hell were my housemates last year doing?

    Are they even allowed to do that?

    We lost over 100 on electricity but I was rarely in the house so I haven't a notion where it's gone.

    They're a law unto themselves tbh. What normal landlords would consider "reasonable wear", CLS will charge for.

    Like, last year I got charged for "painting under desk". I mean, come on like. Those walls need painting every year or two anyway, so I reckon they just tack it on and hope no one questions it.


    One of my housemates this year was a genius though. At the start of the year on the inventory form we said we had no glasses and were missing a few plates and stuff. So they gave us new ones. We hid these at the back of a press, and at the end of they year just put them in with the regular ones to replace any we'd broken. :P

    UL Sport are getting as bad as Gabriella Hanrahan with all these stupid emails. I've gotten three of the exact same emails so far today about having a birthday party in the Arena -.-

    I did something that puts them straight into the junk folder so I don't get notifications. I think its mark as junk or something like that :)

    I have Gabriella and the Writing Centre marked as spam but had to get a reply from UL sport once or twice so marking them as spam wouldn't have helped :P

    Have the library's opening hours always been so bad in the run up to repeat exams?

    I was sure they would be open weekends, at least for August but looks like it's only Monday to Friday and I work weekdays :(

    Does anyone know if Red Raisins is open weekends during the summer months?

    I don't think they'd take kindly to a can of beer in the library... Then again if you were drinking it out of a flask or a travel mug they may not notice until you let a burp slip

    Alcohol Policy states alcohol consumption is to be confined to designated areas on campus, of which I highly doubt the library is one.

    How hard is it to rent a place from September until December? Every landlord I ring gives me the same s***e (eg "sorry, only looking for full year" or "no co-op students, bye"). Even if I say I can get someone for the other semester they say no. Its annoying and I'm running put of time. Any ideas on what to do?

    Have you tried the single semester Facebook group?
    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1581592872107196/?fref=nf

    Otherwise try Groody (which I think may be full), or Brookfield, they both will do single semester without hassle.

    Lost mine after three years, gutted. Didn't want to let go of the memories. No doubt Holland and Barrett will be delighted, always did get an awkward stare when I used it for my points. Really miss uni though, make the most of it while you still can.

    Nope, it keeps telling me it's wrong, even when I base it off the examples

    Did you do it the way that the email said, or just use one of those quick links? It wouldn't work when I used the Reset Password quicklink, but would when I did it the way the email told me to.

    Only other guess I'd have is that its because you're a 4th year and graduating?
