    The plant in the window made me laugh. It just looks like a plant pot with a dead stem. Huge room though

    Haha I was actually wondering this, but I know that I'll be taking just as much stuff. Fortunately my mum is going to drive me but I was trying to work out just how many suitcases I will be taking... a lot :eek:
    1 for shoes, 1 for clothes, 1 for make up, 1 for electricals.. :rolleyes:

    Do people take their stuff in suitcases or is there a clever option I am unware of? Because negative of suitcases is that you'd have to store them somewhere, and if you can't get them under the bed, that would suck. Boxes/bags I guess.
    I believe JML have these vacuum bags that shrink-wrap your clothes and the like :ninja:

    Hey the accomodation at Queen's is really nice i went to look at it last october, but it is a bit of a walk from the uni itself.
    but it is like your average accomodation tbh

    LOL :facepalm2:

    Most of these are in halls, you'd be lucky to have an en-suite.

    But presumably the idea of sharing bathrooms with other people freaks you out?

    You're supposed to piss/**** in the sink
















    nah there would be a communal toilet that you share with other people

    Unless you have an en-suite most toilet / shower facilities are communal and so they will be in a seperate room down your corridor or flat.

    The new 2010 accomodation for University of Reading looks nice! Double bed, lots of storage, en suite and of course, I'll hopefully be one of the first people in it!
    Wow, thats a hell of a lot nicer that the current ones.
    Although i did still enjoy being in Windsor hall last year
