[JTG]

[smashthestate]

we got a tent you can borrow, and a garden to pitch it in too.

 

[Sorry.]

anyone know of a cheap hostel/hotel near manc uni that'd be good for temporary accommodation?

brilliantly the uni have decided they probably won't be able to offer me accommodation until after my course starts

 

[Throbbing Angel]

HOW cheap?

 

[Sorry.]

HOW cheap?

£25 a night or less?

I've had a bit of a look. They're a fair bit more expensive and I'd probably prefer not to. They keep telling me there's a good chance I'll get offered accommodation if I wait and it'd really save me a lot of hastle if that were the case.

 

[soulrebel]

private halls are pure shite (i accompanied kidda to look at one...)

sorry i have pm'ed kidda what i thought was your number, but not 100%, so maybe best to confirm it to her?

i'm starting to think about moving to manchester now! looks like all the best anarchists are there...

(got a house contract signed that means i'm staying where i am for at least another year tho... but thinking about going for some sort of postgrad course starting this time next year, and manc is becoming an attractive option for it...)

Aren't they just-i was in one in rusholme for 2 years,a delightful converted asylum with yellow woodchip on the walls.They also attract the scummiest students-our place was full of cliquey up-their-own-arse ballerinas from the Royal Northern.

The manchester student homes site that binka posted the link to is pretty good,if things get desperate contact the welfare officer at your student union,they should be able to help you out.

I figured that too...

It'll be the same one, I've not changed it for about 5 years.

Yeah I'm ok at the moment (seems to be plenty of flatshares on offer at msh). Just furious that the accommodation department think it's acceptable to keep me hanging on until after my course starts...

 

[soulrebel]

uni accommodation departments = shite.

didn't u learn that at warwick?

 

[Kidda]

i went to see the house(s) today. the one they are meant to be living in is still a builders yard and from what i could see wont be ready for when they said it would be (next week)

so they are in a temp one at the moment, which is tiiiiiiiiiny, but is 12 quid cheaper on the rent and would do till the new house is finished.

they have people coming up to view the house tomorrow, so i wont know till tomorrow night if ive got the room

i could end up trecking to manc to do this all over again my course starts on the 19th and im working full time atm

Sorry lets get a BIG tent together. i can make pots of tea and you can talk to me about historical things. I havent found the accomodation lot to be that helpful to be honest, i just got sent a load of info on private halls and a letter saying good luck, when i asked for help. The hall me, souly and smash went to see wasnt fit to house rats in.

 

[chio]

May I be the one to suggest a welcome-to-Manc evening out for the new arrivals once everything's settled down a bit?!

 

[binka]

woo yeah, lets all go to 5th ave and get battered on vodka redbull

 

[Throbbing Angel]

5th ave?

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

ahem

Just when I am leaving Manchester too <sigh>

 

[binka]

nowt wrong with 5th ave if you're a student and want a night out on a tenner

 

[Sorry.]

big tents! vodka redbull!

I'm in

 

[chio]

I actually feel sorry for you being down in Suffolk.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

twould appear s/he's right

5th avenue noticeboard

5th ave is cool as the choice is the night. mondays are good for students (although they can get annoying), fridays and saturdays for locals(although it can be full of manc knobheads), DJs usually play your requests and there is a barmaid who is absolutely awesome(to look at)


david, oldham


5TH AVE-----Ace!!!!!! music is ace, ppl are ace, drink prices are ace. great place for a giggle and dance. bit dirty and smelly but who cares!!! ------love it


charlotte,


5th ave - best club in Manchester. Good music, cheap, friendly. Nowhere else competes. I go every thurs and always have a brillient night. Love it!


Kate, Manchester

Helen, Sale

 

[Kidda]

Keep your chin up mate, keep trying, it'll come right.

See you soon sweetheart

[Kidda]

accomo department at the uni turned out to be even more complete wankers than at first.

they *think* they could *maybe* offer me somewhere to say for *perhaps* 2 or 3 weeks, in crewe.

like thats guna help

 

[chio]

Crewe - Manchester on the train only takes 40 minutes - but it's £8 return

they've just built HUGE new student halls there (two mins from the station) so that's why they're after giving you that place

see if you can hound them for a travel allowance if they want to stick you in crewe?

 

[Kidda]

they want me to travel from crewe to manchester from city centre to didsbury
and then back again every day

i might as well commute from brum for the good that would do

edit to add: im not moving to crewe its not practical

 

[chio]

didn't realise you were on didsbury campus, presumed you were going on oxford road

that's really not practical then (or desirable - crewe's a shithole)
