RHUL Accommodation Guide

Oh yeah. I applied for accommodation some time ago but I'm just wondering if it is right.

My first ever year at uni is this year and they put lots of different student types. I put myself as undergraduate new 2013/2014

is this right?

Hey to all in the thread, I was just wondering if anyone knew much about changing accommodation. I've been offered a condition room for a 38 week occupancy (which is fine) but not as ideal as 30 week. My question is: Am I able to discuss with any of the accommodation advisers to change my 38 week occupancy to a 30 week one? The room offer isn't yet set in stone as I'm not actually able to accept the contract but it has been accepted and put forward. I really should be a lot more clued up about this but I can't seem to find much about this particular issue; many thanks, Frankie.

do you think they will let people rent the rooms out during the summer?

You can get rooms on campus for over the holidays, including for the summer holiday, but it's very expensive (more expensive than during term time, I believe). But if money is no object, then yes you can. An alternative is finding a room in a house for the summer, which might work out a bit cheaper.

Hey, what happens after we applied for accommodation?

Do we receive an offer by email/post?

How long do we have to pay a deposit and secure the room?

Can we ask for a different room?
Thanks

hi ！There're some difference on furniture between Runnymede 1 and 2??

The most information I can give you is 'yes'. One of them is newer, one of them is older- one has pod like bathrooms, whilst the other has furniture and bathrooms more reminiscent of the style you see in the newer halls.As for which is which, I have no idea, I'm afraid.

Hi, I have applied to stay in Founders. Can anyone tell me what the toilets are like, are they in separate rooms or in a room full of cubicles? This is my only concern about founders and I cant find out anywhere! (I was too embarrassed to call up and ask someone!).

Hi, the toilets in Founders really vary due to the nature of the Founders building (which, being Victorian, has quirky shaped rooms and such) - in some cases, you have a room with toilet cubicles and in other cases you may have two shower cubicles plus two separate rooms within the room that contain toilets, and again, you may also just have a room with wash basins plus individual rooms within the room for toilets (as opposed to cubicle style).

Hope that makes some kind of sense! Once you move into Founders (which is AMAZING to live in, by the way ), you can do a little hunt around - find out what type is nearest you but also check out how they differ along the corridor, on the floor above/below etc. x

P.S. they are all undergoing a refurb this summer so will be nice and shiny and new but the structure (in the case of the room within a room ones) will still be the same due to the aforementioned nature of the Founders building.

I've got a place in Founders for this year! what are you're experiences (those that stayed there?) I heard its the most sociable which is definitely what I want.

When you have your room, do you also have kind of a sitting room/kitchen-like area (i know we don't have kitchens) where you can meet up with those near you/live with you?

Hi, you have to follow the link on the email to the RH online accommodation site. Here you have to log in, then go to contracts, then press view, then press view or something AGAIN and I think then it takes you to the page that says what you have been offered. Hope that helps, I can't quite remember but it was something like that.
