College Check List

[Gazbo]

Can anyone tell me of any essentials I should remember to take to college in September?

For example: Should I take an iron?

Perhaps the joining instructions might help a little, but I won't recieve them until the end of July. Maybe there's a few things the joining pack won't mention??

Cheers guys!

Which college are you off to Gazbo?

South Tyneside! I'm thinking it would probably be a good idea to ring up the college and ask them!

Re: College Check List

If your at South Tyneside then the Asda is 15 minutes walk away, theres a local shop about 5 minutes away. Best to bring your own iron and board, there are some in the halls but the boards are more of a 'U' shape. Bring your own pillows and quilt, ones there are crap.
For food you will get breakfast and dinner during week and breakfast, lunch and dinner on the weekend.
Save your 50p's for the washing machine.

What about at the Glasgow Nautical? I'll be staying in catered accommodation. But I'm sure people will want to know what self catered is like as well (:

Only 50p to do washing!? Its ?3.00 to do a wash and dry in GCNS and you have to use your own stuff AND your not allowed to wash boiler suits in it!

Re: College Check List

Hi all,

Just trying to get my head around what i need for my uniform - do we need to wear steel toe cap shoes while at college or can we just wear more comfortable black shoes when not in the workshop etc?

Thanks

Re: College Check List

You won't need steel toe caps at college, if you're a deckie you won't be in a workshop at all.

Just found out from a mate that used to live there - some of the flats in St. Lukes have washing machines but most don't so you have to use the laundry room. I can see myself spending all my spare time there
