Which accommodation do I pick?

Hi all!
I am starting (hopefully) Manchester Metropolitan University this September!
I will be on the All Saints campus and can apply for accommodation from the 4th of April!

I need your help.
Can I have your experiences on your halls.

BRIARFIELDS HALL
CAMBRIDGE HALL
CAVENDISH HALL
OXFORD COURT

Considering I have a boyfriend, who will want to come and visit and stay while I am at uni, what are the halls like with having people to stay etc?

:smile:

Many thanks in advance !

Hi! I'm joining in September too (politics) but it depends what you're after!

If you want en-suite that rules a couple out.
From what I've heard, Cambridge is more of a 'party hall' but I've not lived there myself.

Hey,
I've lived in Cavendish this year and while its not particularly pretty, i have to say that in my opinion its one of the best on the social scale of things. Its not set out into small flats, but as a kinda corridor set up, so you can basically easily meet everyone in the hall in their kitchens without having to knock on any doors! I met almost everyone on my floor (going on 40-50 people?) in the first few weeks. I really dont regret living there, though the beds are small!
Having people round isnt a problem at all, your meant to sign them in but by the end of the year the security tend to recognise people if they come often so my boyfriend basically just walks in now and i just let him though the security door.
But if your looking for major comfort and prettyness, cavendish may not be for you!
Its also the cheapest, if thats a factor :smile:

I am condsidering on Victoria, Oxford and Daisy Bank Halls. How are those? I'd definetely prefer en-suite, but I am wondering whether to pick Daisy Bank or Cambridge instead? I will be All Saints Campus, it's not that far away, but isn't Daisy Bank somewhat "off the road"?

Just another question: What's the difference between En-suite and Deluxe at Victoria Hall? :biggrin:

As I went through some threads I read people saying thing like "move anywhere, but not into student Village" - but why? (saying student village means All Saints Campus area, I guess?)

I can't wait to go! I've viewed park view, i have to go to private halls because i live too near to the uni :frown:

i would have loved cambridge too! But park view is supposed to be really lively! It cost £112 a week though it was one of the cheapest and i'm ****ting myself about being skint! haha! Have you applied for the accommodation now? xxx

Cambridge is the best, I speak from experience. Generally the bigger the better is a good rule of thumb; no-one goes into halls for a placid, serene experience.

Oxford court/Briarfield are the easiest to have visitors as you have to either sneek or sign people in if you live in Cavendish/Cambridge. Plus they have bigger rooms which is a plus when someone is staying a few days as Cam/Cav gets quite cramped.

However, I lived in oxford and its really quiet and I would have much preferred living in Cambridge to be honest.

True on Cavendish and Cambridge - security are always on gate and if you don't live there you wont get in trust me - me and my friend tried (we lived in Wilmslow) with friends that lived at Cambridge.

Cambridge is the largest of the halls with there being 14 people to a flat living with shared bathroom facilities. Cavendish is next one down with 10 people to a flat again with shared bathroom. so you'll be chasing for the hot water i expect for showers.
Overall all 4 of your choices are literally next to each other in proximity.
