University Hall...

Hi there, i was wondering if there are any current or past uni hall students that could help me?

I want self catered, en-suite accommodation but in a hall rather than housing. This leaves me with a choice of either durdham or UH..i think! I really want a sociable, lively hall and having scrolled through the accommodation thread it seems durdham is really boring and quiet. So im thinking university hall sounds perfect, however- im worried about the fact that en-suite is seperate from the main block and may be less sociable/ left out/ have a different vibe from the main block.

Is the en-suite block less sociable/quiet?
Primarily for mature/international students?
Very far away from the main block?
Are the bedrooms microscopic?
Have i less chance of getting in than in the main block?

I have to be en-suite as i have just spent the last 2 years sharing an outdoor bathroom with my mothers boyfriend and his various gyspy friends..i cannot share another bathroom as long as i live.

oh free pool and free skype have just scored some points for UH!

Hey, does anyone know the moving in date for Uni Hall? Now that I have applied would like to plan everything around that date!

its usually the weekend before freshers week starts.
this year, freshers starts mon 4th.
so i guess you arrive on the 3rd

Not at all! 5 to a shower is pretty standard and what you'll go into in your second year in rented accommodation anyway. So there are 5 bedrooms (singles...), 1 kitchen with 5 food cupboards, cutlery, crockery, cooking equipment which is quite basic, an oven, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster.

There's a shower wet room with a sink, and a separate toilet with a sink. And a cleaning cupboard with a hoover, ironing board, mop etc. The communal areas get cleaned every fortnight. The flats are arranged in blocks, 2 flats per floor.

Is that enough detail?

What are the bathrooms like, and how is the flat actually laid out? I've never been to a student flat so I wouldn't know, I would appreciate some input on this. I applied for woodland court ensuite and I ended up getting UH standard lol. Is sharing a bathroom a nightmare?
