AND, I just got my e-mail from Canterbury telling me this:

"Dear Tui Rachel (other midde name and last name, nyah)

Your application form for a place in a Hall of Residence at the University of Canterbury has been entered into the Accommodation database.

Your application number is: 3139

You will receive another email when your Common Confidential Form arrives .

Once we have both forms, your application will be sent across to your first choice Hall for consideration."

*does a little dance* haha, it wasn't too late after all, whee! Still might not get in, though, I suppose...

Go to college house, trust me, I'm so glad I did, and ALL the people I knew who were at Uni Halls would have prefered CH in the end.
Yes, most of the people there are from a wealthy background, but you wont be talking politics anyway, if you're at uni hall, it would make no difference because in my experience Uni Hall is treated as a place to eat and sleep, you don't make many friends there, CH is a community.

Chapel is about 4 times a year, and it's a TRADITION, so get over it.

Look, for your own good you have to go to CH! If you want to really be immersed in the Uni lifestyle and have crazy amounts of fun it's the only way to go, the food is better, the staff is better, there are no stupid 2nd years on power trips inforcing idiotic rules, and the people are great. By the end of two months you will know everyone's name and be friends with 99%.

The traditions are a pain in the ass, eg, wearing stupid bloody academic gowns to dinner some nights, but that's what makes the place special, it has CHARACTER. I put my own personal guarantee that you will be glad you didn't go anywhere else within 1 month, hell, 2 weeks of getting there.

PS If you didn't go to chapel, it wouldn't kick up any sort of stink, but you'd probably get shamblesed. (I'll leave you to find out what that is)
