Post pictures of your dorm room!

Mine has posters of metal bands all over the walls. I guess it's not very feminine.

There's a couple of bears on the shelf, some drawing things (is that feminine?). There's loads of shoes under the bead usually too. And some cards and things from my boyfriend. I have no pictures of it since I put all the posters up though.



There's a huge Devon flag and a tiger blanket I think I've had since I was about 10.

And the shelf I built that is really wonky. Oh and the pink feather duster... Hmm. That's gone missing now. I think my (male) housemate stole it.

Is that a sofa in your room??

How come you don't live on campus?

They decided there were no rooms left, so I had to get anywhere I could off-campus asap.

I'd put the deposit down, and the next day they phoned me saying rooms on campus had become available. Hmm.

There's plenty of places in Parkwood still available today. They were never full, it really annoyed me.

My room:



There's more art work and club flyers on the walls and stuff now though.

Is that your uni room?

Yeah, this is true, although the lack of stuff* guys bring means that despite throwing everything in, the place still looks practically empty/tidy. One joke was a male housemate saying
'Oh, I need to tidy up'
We basically said, 'You have one item of clothing on the floor '
He picked it up and said 'now it's tidy!'

OP, the only way my room is evidently girly is the fact I have 8/9 cuddly toys scattered around the place. The rest is all dark band posters, postcards of France/Switzerland and pretentious French posters.

*stuff=many many useless things that have no real purpose but to take up room.

Mine isn't particularly 'girly'...but is quite cutesy and organised me thinks

Ah, I heard about that! I know a few other people who that happened to as well. I guess at least your sorted for a house now, while all the other first years are getting it sorted out!

Well I'm going somewhere else for the next year, but yes I found it easier to work it all out because I'd done it all before.

I'm glad I'm not the only one it happened to though. You can imagine how annoyed I was, and I couldn't switch to somewhere on campus because I'd already put the deposit down.

They messed up my application (lost it, basically) so I almost didn't get anywhere either. Gave 'em hell and they caved in pretty quickly

Somewhere else? Do you mean your switching unis or accommodation?! Don't leave us

Yeah, that must've been so frustrating! They messed up my application (lost it, basically) so I almost didn't get anywhere either. Gave 'em hell and they caved in pretty quickly

Yeah, Kent Hospitality suck.

No not leaving lol, I mean in my second year I'm going to a different house.

(Have you ever seen The Roundhouse near Habitat?)

I wish I'd had a go at them, but I genuinely believed they had no room. Despite the site saying there was room for everyone in the first year, and then some. I was a wee bit confused with it all.

Mmm hmmm. You can say that again




Ah, good good! The Roundhouse...probably! Is it on the roundabout side of Habitat or the other side? Are you living there?! If so, we're going to be neighbours I'm living in Bingley Court next year!

I know, I was actually distraught when I found out they messed up my application. I think they're being a bit stricter with who they let into campus accommodation this year, in terms of non-first-years.
