    Do it. People probably won't think less of you (unless you end up living with really insecure weird people) and you'll probably actually end up having friends over for films a fair bit if you have loads of seating space in your room. My experience dictates that this 'honour' is always bestowed upon the one with the most comfortable room or failing that the one with the biggest DVD collection.
    She's a cat. five kind. Keeps you up at night. Hangin' on to the edge of a kiss....

    Sorry, I'm a Country freak and couldn't resist

    Love country music, it's just ear candy to me. I don't get how people aren't big on it tbh!

    Although the lyric is 'She's the cat fight kind'

    I thought it was a cat (as in category 5) in reference to the storm warming?

    Huh, maybe! That's just what I read on a lyrics site and also what I hear. I've not got the album so don't have the coverbook thing.

    I hear it as 'cat five'. It makes sense with the song title... :rolleyes:

    Okay, so it's not really my room as such, but this is what I did to decorate at Christmas unfortunately I didn't get any photos of the whole room this year, but it wasn't too exciting anyway

    I had a slanted roof, meaning I got an extra few square centimeters instead of having a straight wall :p: (That and the fact that I hadn't started to hoard stuff, at the time…)
    Looks exactly the same as they did when I lived there in 1981

    Tbh I dont really like the city centre The area around the School of Management (lister park) and some parts closer to Leeds are nice though
    And I tend to stay on campus most of the time. The accommodation and students union are amazing!

    Just been through all 143 pages and couldn't find any pictures of Oscott Gardens, BCU. Unless I missed it, but if anyone has any pictures of their room then can you please post it

    I wouldn't normally post in a thread like this, but I found them useful when I was applying, so... here's a typical en-suite room at Robinson College, Cambridge. Click the images to enlarge.

    The dodgy layout is my doing. It was exam term and I put the desk facing the window so I didn't get depressed staring at a wall the whole time!
