    I think I may go for Oxley, The Tannery or Henry Price.

    I want ensuite but I shall see on the viewing day.

    Apparently CV isn't available for viewing on the accommodation day. Probably because it's still in construction.

    Definitely not first come first served - when you apply you're asked to rank things in order of the most important factors to you. ie: distance from campus, ensuite etc and you also choose one hall as a first choice. Therefore the accom people try and fit everyone's first choices but if that's not possible, they try and place you based on your other preferences.

    Hope this makes sense!

    I'm going to go for Central Village as well! It's a shame there's no pictures of what the insides may look like.

    Yh the sharing bathroom kinda put me off as well, but realized that I've been sharing between 5 my whole life :P


    I put Lupton as my first choice like 4 days ago and these threads really helped:

    Clarence Dock has grown on me! The only bad thing about it really is the long walk, but I walk everywhere atm anyway

    It's probably a bit different when your mum isn't one of the 5.
