I’m starting at uom this september and I’ve been allocated Richmond Park.
Just wondering if anyone who’s lived there (or is there now) could share what it’s actually like?
How social is it? What kind of events/parties happen during freshers and throughout the year? Is it easy to meet people from other flats/halls? What are the flats and kitchens like and is there anything you wish you knew before moving in?
Also curious about the mix of home/international students and the general vibe compared with other Fallowfield halls.
Any tips for Richmond specifically or things I should bring/avoid bringing would be appreciated :)
Also would appreciate any group chats etc.

Hey everyone,
I’m starting university this year studying Electrical Engineerng and I’m looking for a laptop that will hopefully last me throughout my degree. I already have a 500Hz Oled monitor so I don’t really care about having an amazing display on the laptop itself. I’d rather put the money towards performance, battery life, build quality, etc.
My priorities, from most to least important, are:

1. University work
2. Gaming
3. Photo editing
4. Movies/Youtube

What are the most important things I should know when choosing a laptop for Electrical Engineering? What specs will I actually need for university CPU, GPU, RAM, storage? Should it be lightweight? Is there anything important that first-year students often overlook?
What would you guys recommend? Thanks for your help.
Do not really care about a budget.

What the best set of 2-3 lenses for my camera

Mainly for landcapes, hiking, sometimes wildlife and probably astro in the futer

My budget is mid-range. I’m not planning to spend several thousand pounds on lenses at this stage but I’d like to choose lenses that will still be useful when I upgrade my camera body in the future(probably to full frame).
What do you think?

Any help/advice/insight would be appreciated.
