re:
thanks for the tips... its always helpful as there are little things that dont have much to do with the course content, but are important when starting a new course or college or something.
I finished my degree at coventry uni last year, so im reasonably tuned up on note-taking... and the likes! lol
the advice about lunch's aswell.. i think for the first day or two, il play it by ear, but a pack-up will definately be the most economical thing to do!
thanks again pal!!
