I just got in and so I will be joining all of you in Newcastle this fall

Is the $4,000 deposit go towards the tuition or is it just another deposit?

Pretty sure it is deducted from your tuition. You can request it be taken out of your loan money, that is if you are using loans to fund your education. Hope this helps.

I got my ticket from KLM/Northwest for 1000...the cheapest deals I found were 900..but I know they have went up since then. But I wanted to fly back via newcastle so that I would have an extra day at home during break. So, I am flying into London heathrow but leaving from NCL in december.

American Airlines and Air Canada were the cheapest flights I saw. I'm

American Airlines and Air Canada were the cheapest flights I saw. I'm from Detroit area so flying through canada is easier for me...not sure if that would suit anyone else in the states

My admissions adviser mentioned something about American Airlines giving a student discount on plane flights...you hear anything like this?? Also, did you compare flights arriving in London versus Newcastle???

i know the one way ticket to Newcastle from Toronto is about 3-500 with taxes and all

flyglobespan had awesome deals for anyone in canada...but the only prob is you have to buy a one-way...which I didn't feel so comfortable with.

I am not sure about the AA student discount, but that would be cool if you look into it.

I compared a lot of diff flights and spent a week looking for the best deal...but prices are goin up REALLY quick. It was def a lil more pricy to fly to ncl (newcastle) than heathrow..but it might be worth it if you are looking at convenience cause you're gonna have to drag your lugg to the tube that you take from heathrow to newcastle. But it might be cheaper to fly to ncl from wherever you are flying from.

so I'm getting my immunizations done; i've got my passport; gonna buy a laptop soon, ask SGU to take the $4000 from my loan....what else needs to be taken care of? would that be a bad idea to buy the air ticket a couple of days before I fly?

Also, did you guys apply for the UK visa?

i got my ticket for $558.90 (one-way) yesterday and i'm sure it will go up a lot more. my flight goes from LA (i don't live in LA) to Chicago to Dublin to Newcastle. i know...i will be soo tired once i get there. will anyone want to pick me up? =)

i wonder how far the newcastle airport is from the apartments we're assigned to....does anyone know? and how do you get there?

does anyone know who their roommate(s) are going to be yet? i don't..
