    Keep an eye for inflatable mattresses in Lidl/Aldi. I got a great double one for 20 quid with an electric pump. Well worth the investment.

    Back in my day all first years living on campus went around knocking on each others' doors and introduced themselves to their neighbours on the first night.

    Back in my day we met our neighbours by hanging outside the building with unicyclists and fire breathing displays.

    Actual True Story.

    Help! I just received a letter from fees and grants office to pay the student contribution and student levy fee. I applied for susi grant but it's still in process (there's no reason why I shouldn't be getting it) so I heard if you are eligible for susi you don't need to pay the student contribution fee. How does that work? I am told to pay the fees online prior to registration but I also read a post by a boardsie that you don't have to pay just have to show evidence of your application for a susi grant when you go there to register. Registration for me is on the 17th of September what am I to do now?

    Pay the student levy, and on registration day bring your letter from SUSI that says you're eligible for a grant. They'll take that, photocopy it and enrol you.

    Even if you don't have that, just tell them you're expecting it soon. It's pretty much impossible to get turned away on registration day unless:

    1) You're a homeless person just looking for company and decided to hang out in the Fees & Grants Office, or

    2) You're actually on the grounds of the wrong college.

    You'll be fine.

    Ok so what do I need done prior to registration day? I've paid for semester 1 accom. Going to pay the student levy fee. Brining a form showing my grant application. Bringing my passport as proof of me. My CAO offer letter.

    What else do I need to do? Do I need to register online or anything?

    Anyone else having problems with the student web services? I'm having difficulty with the registration. Every time I click on "I accept" for Step 1, it will not let me progress. It tells me to please complete step 1. WTF? Is there something obvious that I am not doing?

    Are you sure? I received a letter saying that payment of fees (student levy and/or student contribution) must be made online prior to the date of registration. Did you receive this letter?

    I reckon you just pay online without registering. It'll be logged with your account

    Ah, you're right, my mistake. I thought I had to go through the whole on-line registration process in order to pay the fees. I see that these are completely unrelated issues. Sorry for the confusion caused!!!

    You are really missing out... Its easy to write things off when you have not tried them, most people do write GoT off at first but I have not met anyone who has given it a fair chance - not enjoy it...

    Enjoy mantra anyways... I am sure you won't be missed....
