For the record I could actually do with some sound recording equipment (I wont use that word again) for my field research for my MSc, as I am hoping to make both music recordings and interview people in Spanish where it will help to record in full in case of translation mistakes by myself at the time.
For research purposes a dictafone is essential. For lectures, not a fan.
Does your moby not have a "record" feature?
My cheapo Nokia 6300 does the job fine.
depends if you are paying someone to transcribe the recordings.
Get friendly with the friends she's leaving behind... if you've got toned legs and are reasonably fit they'll be queuing up. this could be useful come late january....
[i]a love note or ... a letter [is] much more of a turn on than a txt saying 'fncy a qk 1 2nte?'[/i]
I realise where I've been going wrong. Damn.
Having been a thoroughly dirty basterd at uni I can confirm that all you have to do is ask and its given with the average/common/most ones. The bright clued-up girls preferred my surfing, long-haired Ibiza-clubbing mate though 🙁
Slightly cleaner idea you could get a photo frame the sort you download pics onto and programme to change everyso often and loved marsdenmans post
That's a nice idea ^^^^^^^^^
Don't get one that's too big though, so it can fit in the bedside table drawer. She won't want your mug leering at her while she's working her way through the men's first XV.
[i]send a letter its much more of a turn on than a txt saying 'fncy a qk 1 2nte?', believe it or not! [/i]
I find a photo message works much better but always have to double check and double check again to make sure it's going to the Mrs.
a letter may be great but with our postal network it would take weeks to arrive!
most female students I know (besides me) are really into their tea or coffee. I would suggest coffee making device or speciality teas (spanish hot chocolate is also good)
GOT IT!
pillows! i've seen the films, girls always have pillow fights in their dorm/halls
a girl I lived with was always wearing a dressing gown. was useful for tea/toast/hangover meals in the kitchen and other communal areas. this might help your girlfriend to turn into a bit of a slob though
can also be loaned out for the 'walk of shame'
a webcam.
so you can watch, you filthy beggar.
hooorah
a webcam.so [s]you[/s] we can [i]all[/i] watch
Best one so far!
funny, its the second thing i thought of - the first was a pregnancy test kit.
Are you fat simon by any chance?

We're forgetting that many young ladies often experiment with their lesbian side at uni.... make sure its a webcam you get her!!!
Just suprise her every so often. Be in her room waiting for her to comeback home from a night out? 8)
😆 @ kiwistu + hora!
how about a tattoo? something along the lines of:
"I have crabs, herpes and genital warts" somewhere prominent?
Get her a calculator or a penknife - she'll need to keep a record of the cock end:weekend ratio somehow.
Be in her room waiting for her to comeback home from a night out?
Stalker! And christ, in halls you'd need 4 key fobs and a pass from your mother to get in!
how about a tattoo "Property of JC" . . . .
and if she catches religion while she's there it'll still work.
Regarding letters, write her a really nice one about how good you are together, how much you'll miss her, but understand she's doing something amazing, your love will get you through it, even though she's not there you'll still be thinking of her blah blah blah etc. Then hide it in her packing someone so she finds it when she is unpacking.

Aye it'll work on two levels. Stalking and a bloody surprise.
Not directly linked but I was seeing a girl at Hudds Uni (I was at college at the time) and we had an open agreement. I let myself into her house one morning and walked up the stairs and softly knocked on her bedroom door and walked in. She was in bed with her boyfriend from back home. I said 'oops, I'll comeback later!' (I did) to hear softly through the door 'who the **** was that!'
Gawd she was dirty.
At Uni I knew a girl on our course that [i]liked[/i] me and my bestmate (her longterm boyfriend used to come up and stay every weekend then Sunday evening driveback for work on a Monday morning).
To this day I dont know how she managed to stay awake or turn up for lectures.
USB sticks, laptop, pens, paper-notepad and an alarm clock.
Roadtrip on dvd...
Hora
You are truly a real comfort 😆
Hora, where are the pics, mate?
I wouldn't get her pregnant...would be a waste of her Uni time...
tankslapper/Hairchested. The memories are flooding back now. Alot I wont put on a forum.
😀
This is what my woman's getting when she starts at a different uni in 2 weeks-

For what it's worth, I'm waiting for the day she comes back saying she has a lesbian lover there, she certainly had enough of them at the one I'm at 🙄
Buy her a bike in your size and keep it at your place.
At least you'll still be riding that 3 months down the line.
So, when I was at uni, there wasn't a single long distance relationship that made it through the three or four years. Not even the ones we all thought would.
Lets put the op's mind at rest with your stories of how you or people you know made it through unscathed...
Has anyone come out with the "laptop bag....surprise-stuffed with condoms"?
How about a video camera - so she can send you the occasional video diary about how much she is missing you...
One of my mates made it, he was a fully signed up Christian though and they'd never bumped uglies as they were waiting for marriage. didn't stop them having phone 'non marital relations' which he'd describe at length. 😯
they are still married 10 years later.
In the interest of balance, I met my wife when she was 18 and I was 27. She went away to university soon after and we stayed together throughout. I never had any real reason to believe she played away during that time and we have now been together 15 years, married for three and have two beautiful babies.
🙂
MF, what uni was it? Actually dont answer that!
😉
Can I be the first to ask where she's going and what she's doing?
The first thing that popped into my mind on reading the OP was
" a big dildo "
but I think the webcam idead is best. 🙂
To be fair though, I first met and starting going out with my now wife at 17, and 6 weeks later buggered off to Manchester for 3 years at Uni. ( I live near Glasgow ). Whilst I had the chances to get 'yer hole' as some may say, I never took it. I preferred the chase knowing that what I had back home was not worth risking for the sake of a drunk slapper and to get ma end away. Got called a tease in the end. 😉
Been together 13 years now and married 6 of them and quite happy. So it can be done.
( but tbh, i think i'm an exception to the rule. )
A friend of mine stayed with his girlfriend throughout uni and they're now married, although they did speak on the phone at 6pm every day, regardless of where he was or what he was doing.
When I went to uni I split up with my girlfriend but kept in touch as we had several mutual friends at home, then one day after uni I was on a drunken tour of the country (visiting as many random people as I could, while trying to put off getting a proper job) and ended up getting together with the ex, 5years later, we're now married.
These two stories do seem to be the exception rather than the norms so don’t hold your breath!
MF if you dont ask her she wont have to lie to you 😉
