Don't forget to use your credit card(s) all you budding students out there.

i planned to save the first student loan in a high interest account (as high as it can be for just a 1 yr investment) and then combine it with my 2nd year loan and use it as a down payment for a house. With the house i could then rent it out to tenants which would pay for my accomodation and living expenses and then i could leave uni without being too heavily in debt and have a handy investment under my belt which could be the start of something great.
Unfortunately i didnt anticipate how much alcohol i could consume, how much i would go out (it's been a never ending freshers week, which also results in the munchies and a lot of takeaway) and how much of a shopaholic id turn into, so i blew my loan, this was shortly followed by my overdraft. My advice to any prospective students, have a bit of self control and think b4 u spend.
nb: Anyone thinkin about goin to Sheff uni feel free to PM me if u have ne questions, i went there totally blind about the place, but it's not too bad.

Information Management (dont't ask, after 13 weeks i still don't know wtf it is, i chose on a spur of the moment thing cause i was late with the ucas).
That's kinda weird that ur m8s are doing what my m8s r doing. I know quite a few people doing Chemistry and Economics, as well as the President of my hall (aka sir stoner and beer monster)who's in his second yr of med skewl
