    All good, but yeah, if you want we can try and get you in touch with some media students during the first week :) Or Kim can get you in touch with some :D! Woke up next to her after my first Conception Day, god bless Joy. At the very least closed spaces meant people had to talk to each...

    merit scholarship

    There are a raft of new scholarships which are going to be aimed at equity rather than merit sometime soon, I think that's the main reason for the lack of scholarships. Also funding.

    Like I said, I don't mean to sound like a dick, and I apologise for that, but I'm more angry that someone came away with a bad experience because we do put a lot of effort and thought into making these days as enjoyable as possible and to hear something avoidable like that is frustrating :) If...

    It goes for 213.584022 minutes, but with rain there may be a slight discrepancy of ~+/- 0.00004232111. The format is of a highly British Upper Oxfordian Legal Entity, with a smattering of Harvard Basketweaving Social Practice and Ethics. No idea on breakfast.
