Questions about Wessex Lane Halls

I just want to ask any current Southampton students how far Wessex lane halls such as Montefiore 3 is from Highfield campus by walk..also how far from Swaythling train station, will it disturb studying?? thanks in advanced
10-15 mins walk to highfield. You have to go over this hump/bridge, then Langhorn, then up Burgess road. It's the same route the U1C uni-link bus (you get a free pass if you're in halls anyway), so you could probably hop on at a stop if you see it approaching. Riding up Burgess might be a bit of a mission, but riding down is always fun :biggrin:

Whenever I'm down at Wessex I never hear it. The blocks that are closest to the station might, I don't know.

there are sound regulations when building houses, you can't have a ouse to close to anything of great noise. i don't personally know what this is, because i've lived in the countryside all my life :rolleyes:
i was in monte 1, just in front of the train line and it was never that big a deal - u can hear it if u leave ur window open - but u can hear a lot worse than that believe me! just put it this way...drunken people arent very considerate!

I'm not sure about Monte1, but Monte2, 3 and 4 rooms which face the railway, are close to reception or the boiler house all have double glazing and if I closed my windows I didn't hear anything outside. Problem then is that it gets really hot, I had my radiator turned off and still needed my windows open all year round :frown:

Don't worry too much, even if it seems annoying at first you'll soon get used to it and probably not even notice it! I live under the heathrow flight path and regularly have planes every 30 seconds but after 19 years (won't take that long though!) I barely notice it, let-alone distract me.
Chances are you won't have a room right next to it anyway, my friend who started last year (I'm starting this year too) has a room overlooking the railway and i don't remember hearing them from her room even with the window open!
Hope it works out ok for you :-)
