- No, haven't even got a N97 for me yet. Maybe December... Gave him a 3600 Slide I won in a Nokia contest for journalists
- Good to hear from you Meraj. I'm willing to bet it wasn't a Nokia N97 that you gave to your father?

Now advice, enjoy freshers to the max and defiantly think about joining a club and society.
Look forward to 12 hours of studying a week, lots of drinking, afternoon naps. Oh and an addiction to Facebook! :)
PS Nice Jumper Ewan!

Use your first year to make as many friends as possible, people will certainly come and go throughout your uni career but it is valuable to do this from the beginning. Join a club, its a great way to meet people and it gives you something nice for the ol' CV.
I know that 3 are pitching to the student mobile broadband market, but I agree with Ricky, I am not sure if its worthwhile for them as a.) Most unis are covered with wifi hotspots and b.) halls have been wired up for quite a while now.
It is certainly interesting times ahead as students are not known for being financially focused, the handset models may matter more than the price of the contract that they are on. However in the current financial climate (slump, increase in living costs and topup fees), I wonder if ASDA Mobile or any other provider aiming at the budget market will prevail? I suppose only time will tell!
PS. During Fresher’s Week, go to the Fresher’s Fayre (or whatever they call it at your uni) and get there early! The amount of random stuff ranging from dish towels to pot noodles that I picked up for free was amazing :)

Never schedule a class before 9AM if at all possible. If you have to, just remember -- it's easier to stay up until 9AM then to get up at 7AM.
At all parties, either stand back and watch in a very visible place, or be the loon running naked down the streets -- one will get you noticed as in "who's that quiet, confident fellow", and the other will get you noticed for, er, obvious reasons.
Remember that there are approximately 342 ways to cook Ramen noodles :).
Finally, ingratiate yourself with the University grounds keepers -- they're less likely to report you passed out under a tree if you do!
(Just some reminiscent advice from my own days in college)

Seriously wish I had gone for 3 mobile dongle, but this was before the half price discounts they now offer, though the limits were very restricting for the internet usage I normally accustomed to!

Even worse was the fact I had to pay either upfront for 41 weeks or in 3 instalments, so the providers were loving the interest they were racking up from the 400 odd students in my building alone!
