Does anyone know of any accomodation near Hurn.

I am looking for a 1 bedroom flat, or something close to this

Cheers

I can recommend somewhere that isn't a flat if you like. I used to live at a place in Boscombe on Penrith Road. The lady who runs it is really cool and she always has loads of controllers staying there. All of the rooms are really nice and you can come and go as you please (she is very open minded as well). She also cooks meals as well (normally at 6pm) which is good, especially if you've had a hard day at the college and don't feel like fixing yourself something.
Her details are:
Ruth Roberts

Boscombe,
Bournemouth,
Dorset,

She must be open minded if she let you stay there halo!!!

God Yes!!!!!!

For what it's worth, most SATCs seem to congregate in and around Boscombe.

Of course, those of us who were more sophisticated resided in Ferndown....

If you do decide to stay around Boscombe don't go near Jazy B's! You will need a medical recourse!!!

Intel-

Are you starting at the college soon? January by any chance? If you are, drop me a line... I'm starting in January provided the medical went OK!

If you're not then just ignore this message

Cheers, Jas.

Mmm. Boscombe. Truly the fragrant flower of Dorset.

If you're not in too much of a hurry to get a flat, you could stay in a guest house like the majority of your future colleagues until you've searched around a bit. Plenty of guest houses, and muchos cheapness. A lot of stude controllers seem to stay in the multitude of places on Westby Road in Boscombe. It has lots of local charm. Ahem.

And I agree, avoid Jazzy B's like the plague. In a very literal and medical sense.

Hey! Don't mock Jazy's

Thursday nights/Friday Mornings, staggering out of OH, Jazy B's for Kebab. Admit it, at least you don't mind throwing up something you ate from Jazy B's.

Seriously though, it's not a bad idea to at least start off in a B&B for a few weeks to find your way around. And since most CATC freshers start there, it's a good way of getting involved in the social scene.

Also, no point in taking out a 6 month lease on a place when you don't know how long you are going to be there - After Highfield, we started at College on a Monday and someone had jacked it by Wednesday lunchtime (anyone remember Stig?).

One last point - don't bother trawling through the CATC accommodation list, it's woefully out of date.

Have fun.

Yes it was me it went along the lines of:

afirm

My starter question for you was which part of the country do you come from?

Goldfish Watcher

A cold place where the men wear skirts?

Are you a descendant of the same place - but not with the accent?

cleared2land 27left

Correct

So that narrows it doon a tad.

Did you sit near the front, in the middle or at the back?

Goldfish Watcher

One row from the back

I take it you sat at the front and had a nickname that began with 'B'?
