Accommodation 2010

I would agree with this, but mixed is the one for me! Love having so many people in the flat (10 in Froggatt) but I would agree we are not as sociable as the single sex flats seem to be. This might be because there are so many of us whereas the single sex flats are smaller so when a few people aren't there it's really noticeable. Also heard lots of bad things about girl bitch fights in the single sex flats

Hmm... I've now firmed Sheffield but I am not sure whether to choose Ranmoor or City accommodation... :s Any info on either of those??

Hey i got my accomodation confirmation earlier today. I'm staying in Rivelin! Anybody got any information on this accomodation?

Any info on Howden?! Do we know which blocks are mixed or single sex?

Rivelin is quite far away which can be a bit annoying for laundry but it has quite a closeknit feel as I think its one of the smaller blocks

Seems like Stanage is going to be very international. Any info on mixed/single sex would be appreciated here too!

I lived in Rivelin last year! There's a mix of mixed and single sex flats in Rivelin, as well as 6 and 8 person flats. There's not much variation between the buildings in Endcliffe - the only real difference is the location. Rivelin is on the edge of Endcliffe and you don't even need to walk through Endcliffe to get to it, so it can feel a bit far out sometimes. There's a good community in Rivelin as another poster said, so it doesn't really matter.

I'm going to really, really miss it.

Stanage tends to be ERASMUS international students in general.

Awww, but I don't want my flatmates to go away after a year - who am I going to rent a house with in my second year? Oh, well, guess that I'll need to wait and see - thank you for information!

No worries. So are you a first year there then? Not Erasmus or anything? That seems a bit bizarre... maybe they changed things round for this year? Give them a ring if you like and ask politely about the type of student in Stanage and maybe explain you'd rather be with non-Erasmus students?

Yep, it's going to be my first year, I'm 'international' and after a gap year - so thought that I'm going to be put in Derwent. I got in touch through Facebook with some people who are going to be in Stanage this year - all internationals so far and not ERASMUS, so maybe they've changed things around. I don't mind an odd ERASMUS student here and there, but after your post I got a tiny bit worried that they might be majority in Stanage. Will investigate and report back Also, seems like I'm the only one on the forum to be put there - and here I thought that maybe I'll end up with someone from TSR!

City accom can be quite unsociable.
