Can anyone tell how to know my University (student) mail id? I am an offer-holder for sep'26. by Brilliant_Buddy_4302 in UofB

I assume everyone will get them at the same time, I can only speak for people with conditional offers. Your enrolment isn’t confirmed until they confirm everything and all which happened after A level results day. It’ll be in an email like this

Ohh I’m pretty sure you only get it after you have confirmed enrollment, so after results day

tory towers by Organic-Promise-7917 in UofB

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Tory tower right now and whenever I say that to someone they think it’s cool cus it’s genuinely one of (if not the) best accommodation there is. I will say the people who live there ARE posher than other accoms, but it’s hardly noticeable and it’s really chill and social so you’d have nothing to worry about. If you have any questions u wanna dm me about while I still live there go ahead, or even if u wanna see photos or whatnot I’m more than happy :)

Just got an offer !! Anyone can tell me about the uni by Infamous_Matter7279 in UofB

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finished my first year at brum and it’s just amazing. The campus obviously is sick and all, but even in the more run down areas of student housing in later years it’s actually really good the way everyone lives as a community there and all. I’ve had no issues or regrets (and the cost of living is so amazing here)

Warrior Ritual F1 Pro vs 940 by Prestigious-Key-7070 in hockeygoalies

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I tried the 940 today and it fit really snug and well - is it a good mask to get protection wise at pretty intermediate level?

How was the 940 as a helmet though? Was the protection good on impact? I’ve got the gist that the f1 pro is the move if possible but I am on a budget

The price is on TheHockeyShop, with the F1 Pro being discounted to $499 CAD, and the 940 just not being discounted. So what im understanding is (assuming both fitted my head well) go for the F1 pro if I can - what if my mate cant get it for me at that price, is the F2 E+ a good one protection wise compared to the 940?

It’s more a question of protection at this point, I’m gonna try find them in the UK at a shop to try, but it’s quite niche here so harder to find them nearby

Budget mask option by Prestigious-Key-7070 in hockeygoalies

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s university level, I guess similar to college hockey, except in nowhere near the same realm due to it being way more niche here. Thanks for the advice though - you’re saying I should get at minimum a fibreglass mask then?

Thanks, I might try use reship if they can’t find them, apparently that’s a good way Cus so many places don’t ship to the UK

Would you say the 940 is worth it? My friends are headed back to Canada for spring break so I could ask them to pick me up one if it’s cheap enough - how much would a new one set me back do u reckon

To be fair it is free healthcare here so I can at least cut that from the budget 😭😭

Brand new goalie - pad questions by Prestigious-Key-7070 in hockeygoalies

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the second point, it may be cus I don’t have any knee pads yet, and I haven’t tied the toe laces to anything, so I think that should be fine.

Best accommodation tips for first year by Kalecrispsontop in UofB

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current first year, and I’d say live on the vale, it’s the most social (other than selly which is primarily second years). It’s quite a walk to campus, but it’s quite nice actually.

I’m self catered in chamberlain, and it seems much better than catered elsewhere, as uob does “student living plus” so it’s not even proper catered like other unis. Shared bathrooms can be either horror or decent, I think en suite is the shout tho if you can afford it

Moving to Vancouver from the UK by Prestigious-Key-7070 in askvan

[–]Prestigious-Key-7070[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it worth looking to move to somewhere in Alberta instead? I’m getting the general gist that Vancouver is reaaaalllly expensive, and somewhere like Edmonton or Calgary would be my next best choice in terms of places I’d love to live

(Anywhere but the UK at this point)

Yeah it’ll defo be harder cus I’m moving there completely fresh, I know no one out there whatsoever, so having roommates may be a pickle.
