inzane_2 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 if theres a ride with this amount of riders i may actually get my bike out and have a play aswell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'll be in the same halls but I doubt I'll be riding.Getting drunk sounds like a plan though Doubt you could ride a bike anymore with your fitness level. *Memories of you running up about 10 stairs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Doubt you could ride a bike anymore with your fitness level. *Memories of you running up about 10 stairs* This is true. And a lesson should be learned by all why excessive alcohol and lack of food over several months isn't a great idea. As for freshers week, the whole organised, butlins style 'lets bond' stuff isn't really my thing - but i'll go along with whatever's going on, unless they try and make me play bingo ... in which case I'll get drunk in my room by myself noz pm me with whatever floor / room you end up in.

Shaun H Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I went to the Loughborough open day and it seemed impressive and everything but it didn't look like there was many places to ride around the area. Plus there's just a town nearby, no big city or 'owt. How are current students there finding it? Cos at the moment Birmingham's looking like the place to be for me.Gunna be doing Mechanical Engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) Loughborough easily beats birmingham for me. The riding on campus isnt bad, you can make a good ride out of it infact. Town isnt as great as some places i have been but then again it is a town, but still good for a ride. But then the best part about loughborough is the trainstation.. and the fact the M1 runs right beside it. Ride to the trainstation - 15minutes ? .. catch train to nottingham... massive street. Ive been there 3 times now and not had to pay for the journey once.Natural - shit loads of it around here really and since the m1 is so close you can get to all the big name places pretty fast.I really disliked birmingham everything seemed to rat race. Then when it comes to the actual university rankings.. loughborough is 6th in country... birmingham isnt in the top 10. For mechanical.. loughborough is 10th and birmingham is 20th or less when i last checked, at the end of the day your coming to uni for the education so it may be worth having some extra thought. Its only the london and oxford/cambridge uni's that beat it. When it comes to the massive city vs town. In my 2 years of being here i havent really had much time for going in to town and having a good look round.. since everything you need is on campus really. But when i have there is definitely a decent amount of shops and theres the shopping centre. May be worth coming and taking a look around. Due to loughborough being a town everythings nice and close, not a long walk to anywhere really. Id imagine birmingham being a bit of a trek to find the good places to go to.Then theres the union... which is a big mother f**ker. Ha ha, i doubt i'll be doing anything like bingo either, stupid tuesday at cognito sounds alright though... but theres no way i'm going to the breakdancing thing First 3 nights are always good, first night is easily the best! I was f**ked off my face at 3pm, remember going to dinner and having stir fry at 5.. then no idea what happened. Was in the union drinking sambucca at 9.. then woke up the next day at 11am with a pile of people saying "hi chris" and i had no f**king clue who they were.
