Hull Uni Accommodation

I don't live in the university owned hoses but I'll try and answer your question

As far as I'm aware, there all shared bathrooms. Some have a sink in the room and the rooms are generally quite large.
The university owned houses are 5 minute max walk from the uni.
Parking is generally good... You can actually park behind the houses aswell...

I am definitely going for student houses. My sister graduates from Hull this year and she thoroughly recommends the Lawns for first years because of the social side. I am more concerned by the distance to uni myself and really want to be closer. I am quite outgoing so I am sure I will make friends easily, whether through house sharing or through joining societies, etc.

I think the accommodation site is likely to crash on Wednesday morning because everybody is going to be wanting to log in at the same time but let's hope it doesn't. My sister's experience (and that of her peers) with first year accommodation was that just because you apply as soon as you possibly can there is absolutely no guarantee that you will get your first or even second choice as some accommodation (ie, Nicholson) is massively oversubscribed. It would appear that if you go for Nicholson (Lawns, en-suite self catered) and then apply, as a second choice, for an en-suite semi or fully catered room at the Lawns that you may well end up with a non-en suite semi or fully catered room in the Lawns or in a house, whether you want one or not. This is because if loads of people choose Lawns en-suite as a first choice, they are going to get preference for these above those who put Nicholson as a first choice so the Nicholson first choice applicants move further down the list if they don't get Nicholson.

Gosh, I have waffled, sorry.

Guess we will all have a great time wherever we end up living.

Actually that was a pretty exhaustive list

I think I overdid welly in the first semester to be honest. Yeah 'course I know Ash

omg does EVERYONE know Ash???

I went on at about 6:56am and it was open, got to the 'Confirm' screen really quickly and it decided to them tell me I could only apply for two en-suite rooms so I had to go back - then it died. If it had told me that at the beginning, I'd have done it all by now!
