First class post usually arrives at its destination the following day. Stamps can be purchased from Post Offices, newsagents, supermarkets and from the Students' Union shops on campus. It is also possible to send important pieces of post by recorded or special delivery, but this must be done through a Post Office. Security Students who are not familiar with city life in the U.K. should pay special attention to the section entitled 'Safety' in the Student Handbook. Alternatively, visit the Student Assistance Office or the Students' Union Advice Centre.
Telephone calls Before making phone calls abroad, check international calling rates.
You may find that some telephone operators offer different call rates. It can also be cheaper to make calls at different times of the day. The Student Assistance Office holds information on different phone tariffs. If you make a phone call to someone in this country, it is cheapest to do so at the weekend. Remember that mobile phones can be expensive.
