Well after a couple of false starts I'll be on the Oct course too. Already got a couple of friends who moved to Bournemouth last year and they're really enjoying the place so I'm not worried on that front.
MR - I'm pretty sure I'll be looking for my own flat seeing as I'm pushing 30 and have done my fair share of communal living in the last ten years (oh for a fridge of one's own!). Still, you're all welcome to come round for dinner (there's at least one guy who can cook for himself out here).
Anyone else out there who'll be joining MR and myself?
