Do you know what the verb "to hector" means? If not ... look it up!
And by the way: we've been to the accomodation office (you should go there to see under what nice conditions they can work there because of our money). Anyway, they told us that they pay £2.3 per student and week for the internet. If the refund will be the costs we paid for inet then you can calculate it yourself that it would be around £40.

Trip to Birmingham/Brighton Dec 14-16
Hey everyone!
Several people and me are planning to go on a trip to Birmingham and Brighton.
I have now looked up times+fares for traveling and staying overnight on lots of
different pages. After comparing everything I got to the following cheapest results:
+ 14/12 Leeds-Birmingham by train 7:05-9:06 £9 or 11:16-13:36 £10
+ 14/12 - 15-12 staying overnight in a backpacker hostel without
breakfast £16
+ 15/12 Birmingham-Brighton by train 9:33-13:37 £12
+ 15/12 - 16/12 staying overnight again in a backpacker hostel
without breakfast £18
+ 16/12 Brighton-Leeds by coach 16:30-23:25 £28.8
+ 16/12 Brighton-Stansted by coach 14:00-18:35 £29 --> I think it's just me
who's going to Stansted, but feel free to join
That means roughly costs for travelling of £50 and costs for staying overnight of £35. Additional we have to consider that we need food and beverages as well. So in a whole we would end up close to £100!
I think that's a lot. The travelling will not become cheaper but maybe we could look for better/cheaper hostels. The problem is that there're no YHs in both of the cities. I also couldn't find any B&B places.(with breakfast included we would save adiitional money for for and it would be pretty comfortable as well :)
So I would be happy if you could have an even closer look for good hostels. Otherwise I don't know whether it would really make sense.
Have a nice evening+rest of the week ...
PS: If someone could call McGyver that'll be great. Because regarding problems like this it is always of interest what McGyver would do.
