Having never not had a tumble dryer, i'm now lost. Raining, and about a million socks to dry and various other bits of washing.. raining.. no dryer..
So i decieded to drive up to the uni halls, and use the driers there. Got there, and there was no room - so started walking back to the car.
I noticed a car/van looking thing, with what looked like a policeman sat in the front. Thought nothing of it and carried on walking, then a police van turned up and a police car, then a mobile CCTV unit. The policeman in the car/van got out, opened the boot bit and got out a sniffer dog.
I was just driving off by this point, so dunno what went on.
I can't remeber if posted on here or not, but basically last year in halls we were harrassed constanlty by the managment. They bloody hated students, and made us all well aware of that. I've been to many uni halls, most are relaxed places to be - stafford aint. Its looks like a modern prision, and it felt like one!
We had a lot of run ins with the management staff there, and then one afternoon after attending an investigatory in the morning, we were chillin out in the flat - and in walked the head of accomodation and her assistant, a plain clothed policeman, a uniformed officer and a sniffer dog (i forget his name).
Flat was searched, we had to stand in the corridor and watch. Dog came over and sniffed all of us. There was nothing for them to find. But the dog then sat down next one of my flat mates. This guy is the most anti drug person in the world, seriously. The head of accomodation really doesn't like him though (hmmm.. sniffer dogs will do what their trainer says..maybe it was told to sit down?) But anyway because the dog sat down next to him, he had to be searched by the policeman in his room. Not suprisingly, they found nothing.
That was typical of Stafford Court, not a really a nice relaxed place to live.
I've uploaded an aerial view, and once i find it - a video clip made by one of my flat mates that sums the place up quite nicely.
So if anyone ever asks you, what are the halls like at stafford uni.. you can tell them, facilities are not bad, rents not bad, but its staffed by power crazed, student hating gits (apart from Al, the security guard).
edit: here is the video, its 8mb but its good imo! http://tackycheese.net/TEH FILM.avi
