I’m moving to the Penryn campus next week and have a room at glasney, I can’t wait to impress my fellow house mates with that neat window trick. Thanks for an awesome video 🤙🏼
This was amazing, way better than the student ambassadors on the open day! Loved the smokey grey effect when you went into the kitchen! Awesome, I hope I can move in one day :)
I've got a couple planned, but if you have anything you'd like to see then definitely let me know! This kind of content definitely lends itself to audience suggestions, rather than me trying to think what people might want to see ^^
+Kepple Marsh mabye you should do one of campus and the town around it, or how the first few weeks were and stuff, I don't know what to expect when I first go there
The phones have now been taken away, it was a weird experience 😂 the toilets can leak and the bathroom gets very damp 😂 but the room is amazing for student accommodation. Also I wish I’d watched this before going to Glansey because the window tip would’ve helped me when I couldn’t for a month 😅
This is so fantastic!! Well done! I'm almost 100% Falmouth is my first choice for 2017 and was wondering if you have Twitter or snapchat or something where I could ask you a few q's if that's okay????☺️☺️☺️☺️
Talking about your bathroom extract fan above your bathroom door there is a big wide switch if you turn that off your extracta fan won't go on and it will not disturb you. Let me know if it works.
What do you think to the shared rooms? I've got a shared study bed at glasney rather than a bunk bed so probably a little different to in your flat. Dreading sharing a room though!
Ah yeah, I saw the study beds on my open day, they're weird but pretty nifty! The shared rooms are literally the same, except... with someone else living there :D I know plenty of people who get on just fine with it for a year, so I'm sure it will work out great
Walls are great yeah, although upstairs/downstairs noise definitely carries more. It's not too bad though, unless they're having a wild party or something
Impressed that you succeeded in making a room tour video witty, just wondering if you are actually allowed to watch the TV without buying a license and what the dealio is with that etc??
Thanks! You're allowed to watch the TV in the kitchen, the uni must get some special contract or something. I think streaming live TV from a bedroom is technically illegal? *cough* but who's gonna know *cough*
Thanks for the help Joe! I'm studying modelling at Falmouth in September! are you already a student? It would be really nice to meet some people before I move down there ;)
No I'm not a student yet, I'll be starting a ba in fish and chip related studies! I know the mayor of Falmouth and he told me about the TV licences in the kitchens! Glad I could of service
Hiya! I’m hoping to go to Falmouth university this year and stay at the glasney accommodation but I would be studying at the Falmouth campus... do many Falmouth students stay at the Glasney accommodation or is it mainly students from the penrynn campus?
is it possible to stay in the accommodation past the first year? I'm a huge fan of yours and i'm coming down to falmouth university from 2017 and trying to sort my accommodation and shit out xD :)
Honoured that you're a fan! :D I'm afraid it's basically only first years who get to live on campus, although I think people with disabilities can apply to stay on at the Sidings (uni accommodation like 10 minutes away from campus).
The accommodation that the uni provides (the Sidings is uni-owned and about 10 mins from campus) is very similarly priced as far as I know - otherwise, with private accommodation it's obviously completely varied. And no worries, it's good to know this stuff! :)
As far as I'm aware the university itself is great at dealing with international students. Obviously I can't promise you won't encounter any issues with individuals, and I appreciate that as a white British guy I might not have the most helpful perspective on the prominence of racism, but on the whole my impression is that there isn't a huge culture of bigotry in Falmouth or anything. Out of interest, where did you hear that racism might be a problem at Falmouth?
I heard the issue is in the UK, but I did not believe it because I have taken many English classes from British people on lingoda.com, they treated me very well and had a great experience. Another worth thing to mention is in the UK, International citizens don't get a job easily, employers prefer the white man, there are fewer chances for brown skin people, I saw it in some youtube videos. I just wanted to confirm if there are problems before jumping into the institute, it can be the biggest conflict of life. By the way, thank you, I will be applying for BA in film, batch 2019 September. :)

Haha, thanks so much, it's very kind of you to say so! :D
Really interesting to hear a video as honest as this!
jasper glad you liked it!
This was so useful, thank you! I love short and concise videos like this. Nice to see a fellow ELO fan too :)
Thanks! Glad it was useful :)
This was such a good video, really funny! I didn't live at Glasney for first year so it's fun to see it properly and not just at flat parties ahaha
Thanks very much! Glad you liked the video, I do my best to keep these ones funny and informative at the same time ^^
More videos like this would be amazing!
I've got a couple planned, but if you have anything you'd like to see then definitely let me know! This kind of content definitely lends itself to audience suggestions, rather than me trying to think what people might want to see ^^

Sounds good, I've got vague ideas of doing a Penryn or Falmouth tour, so I'll factor it into my plans . Thanks! ^^
You need to do these videos for estate agents. Fucking brilliant :)
Hehehe, thanks Squizzy! :D

twitter and snapchat are both under the name of 'kepplemarsh', or just ask here in the comments - whatever's easiest :-)
Thank you!!:)
wonder if the rooms still come with a telephone lol
I'm also from Falmouth good videos
Talking about your bathroom extract fan above your bathroom door there is a big wide switch if you turn that off your extracta fan won't go on and it will not disturb you.
Let me know if it works.
Afraid I've moved out of halls now - alas we may never know!
I would like to start by stating the obvious, you look like dustin from stanger things. That's awesome my dude!
Never heard that one before actually, but thank you!
What do you think to the shared rooms? I've got a shared study bed at glasney rather than a bunk bed so probably a little different to in your flat. Dreading sharing a room though!

Do you hear much from your neighbours? Thick walls?
Walls are great yeah, although upstairs/downstairs noise definitely carries more. It's not too bad though, unless they're having a wild party or something

I think the TV in the kitchen has a TV license.
+Kepple Marsh +Joe Davison Thanks!!

Hiya! I’m hoping to go to Falmouth university this year and stay at the glasney accommodation but I would be studying at the Falmouth campus... do many Falmouth students stay at the Glasney accommodation or is it mainly students from the penrynn campus?
It's a mix of students, if you lived on Glasney you'd just have to get the bus when you needed to get to the other campus
is it possible to stay in the accommodation past the first year? I'm a huge fan of yours and i'm coming down to falmouth university from 2017 and trying to sort my accommodation and shit out xD :)
Honoured that you're a fan! :D I'm afraid it's basically only first years who get to live on campus, although I think people with disabilities can apply to stay on at the Sidings (uni accommodation like 10 minutes away from campus).
+Kepple Marsh thank you! Are the prices for accommodation off campus similar to the ones on campus? Sorry for all the questions 😂
The accommodation that the uni provides (the Sidings is uni-owned and about 10 mins from campus) is very similarly priced as far as I know - otherwise, with private accommodation it's obviously completely varied. And no worries, it's good to know this stuff! :)
+Kepple Marsh awesome thank you very much!!
No worries, if you have any more questions occur then don't be afraid to drop me a comment ^^
How is Falmouth for international students? like is there any racism and all? Before applying there, people are making us be afraid of it.
As far as I'm aware the university itself is great at dealing with international students. Obviously I can't promise you won't encounter any issues with individuals, and I appreciate that as a white British guy I might not have the most helpful perspective on the prominence of racism, but on the whole my impression is that there isn't a huge culture of bigotry in Falmouth or anything.
