    This might sound like a really stupid question but will you need a Hoover for your room? Lol

    Only if you have carpets. If it is laminates then you can just sweep.

    Okay so the accommodation halls won't provide one for the students to use?

    That's good to know...

    And I guess it depends where you are, my sister in Sheffield doesn't but then they have cleaning people, and if you leave your door unlocked and the floor clear, they give it a once over

    what was that for?

    I don't really know. I was just being facetious.

    Interesting fact: Facetious has all of the vowels in alphabetical order.

    fancy shmancy or what?
    you certainly live in the lap of luxury

    To conclude: i think it depends where you go, don't take one for the first term, then if you need one get one in the holidays/when you next come home

    Wait until you get there to see what the situation is. Each place is different.

    It does depend on where you are - we were not provided with a hoover in halls but we had a cleaner once a week.

    Yeah, it's so luxurious that one of our halls was involved in class A drug production! :cool:
