Law at Nottingham. You want to do medicine, don't you? What uni?

Yep. UEA. Offer AABB. Quite lucky with that one. My friend bombed at their interview and got an offer of AAAA, because he's a genius, and they couldn't really say no outright it seems.

Law at Notts. I know someone who's in their final year there for law. He's really enjoyed it.

Ah Nottingham. What Hall have you applied for? The Uni is great, the city not so great. Whatever you do, don't live in Lenton when you move out of halls. There's plenty of nicer areas (although admittedly also worse areas).

If you like drinking, you've definitely picked the right uni.

I've decided to go for a private flat. It was a choice between socialising and good grades - I decided that if I go for private accommodation I'll be able to go out and socialise whenever I like which wouldn't be the case with uni accommodation. I'm a bit of a geek and during the exam period I usually don't see anyone for about 3 months. What's so bad about Lenton?

If you like to sleep, it's not a good area to live in. Drunk students going past at all hours of the day and night. It's also dirty because students don't care about what they do with their rubbish. The locals hate students. Label your personal belongings with an ultra violet pen and make a note of the serial numbers of your electricals. Make sure you've got window locks and you keep your windows and doors locked, even when you only leave the room for a minute.

I'm sure you'll have a good time here though. The university has a lovely big lake on campus which is really nice to visit.

Uhh sounds awful. Good thing I won't be living there.

Ahhh I've seen the lake :D It's really sweet :P I went to an open day in March. To be honest I was not impressed when I saw all the potential law students. I'm not judgemental but they did not look very social....

Got my student finance loan assessment form through today for uni and whilst they have granted me the full amount for my tuition fees (£3145) they have only granted me £3651 for my maintenance loan (including a grant) which will be paid in 3 installments. I'm having trouble figuring out what this will mean because as far as I'm aware my accomodation will cost £2707.88 for the year, meaning I will have £943.12 to last me the entire first year of my course. This must be wrong?!?

Anyone currently at uni (or someone that has a greater understanding of this malarky than me) care to help me? :S

Yeah, but the £3651 is for the entire first year of the course, divided into 3 installements. So that's £1217 each term. Surely that isn't enough, seeing as I have to pay for my accomodation as well as food, going out, etc?

If this was the case £902.7 would go straight into my accomodation costs. :S

That would leave me with £314.30 a term. I realise I'll probably have extra income in the form of a part time job but even still, didn't realise uni would be such desparate times.

I'm so confused.

    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first. 
    • It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?
    • Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also
    • For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?
    • They seem to be using James more for cover now makes me think it will be him getting weekends eitjer breakfast or 1 till 4 
    • Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.
    • Ore Olukoga is in for Arielle on Tuesday 14th May. James Cusack is in for Danny Beard on Saturday 1st June. James Cusack is in for Nat on Sunday 2nd June.
    • I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg. 
    • They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!
    • How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it? 
    • I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!
    • A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.
    • He must be in his element. At Eurovision and a Gold award!
    • I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
