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.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By R1Fan1 · Posted

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By GregJames_fan · Posted

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders

      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?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      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?

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      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?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      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.
