Regarding Kent Uni it now has quite big accommodation blocks added. I wonder if they will be able to fill them now the cost of one years tuition is £9,000ish. My daughter is lucky as they are paying her fees and paying a Stipendiary payment plus teaching fees.

I know 5 years ago when Jen started she was in Darwin. I thought that was the accommodation block and the O2 network was total rubbish while Orange worked ok so I don't know what Orange are doing to have such a rubbish signal on Campus now and as we know the iPhone is not as good at picking up a signal. Our daughter is a Research Student (PhD) and Assistant Lecturer at the school of Computing (Cornwallis) Thats where her Orange phone does not work unless she goes to the top floor.

I get 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 750mb of data as well as 2GBs of free BT OpenZone wifi access. The phone (16gb) was free and should have been £41 per month but with the discount it's £32.86, 24 month contract.

Thanks for the input and yes it will be in her name but I can't find any company that gives a student discount. We have it down to £27 for 24 Months plus a one off charge of £150. The only problem its with the 3 Network
