You should all be settling in nicely now! Here's a quick tip, we picked up one of these Infinity Bands the other day which are personalised to each of the halls around campus, and they also have a 'University of Southampton' band too - they give some great offers like 15% off cabs with Aero Taxis, 1/3 off Pizza's at Pizza Hut, and loads more.
