Congrats! But why Winkworth or Sinclair house?

Since most of my tuition is being paid by US student loans, I thought it would be easier to live in a building owned by the University. Also, from what I have seen they look pretty nice. However, I have never been to Bristol so all I have to go on is what I have seen online. Although, I am very open to suggestions of other places to live.

Accommodation matters aside, are we supposed to receive paper documentation or anything from the university, eventually? It's something that just came to my mind, as my periodical changes of contact address might be a problem.

Hi guys! Haven't been around these days...

Regarding accommodation, I had already been checking a bit this gumtree page that Bekaboo mentions. I just glimpsed it, but it seems there are some nice places, and cheaper than univ's places. For instance, 4 room houses for around 300p/week.
Of course, I guess its better to get there and meet the potential house mates beforehand, to make sure you don't get stuck with some serial killer. Any of you a serial killer...?

Dunno which one to apply to, Chantry Court, Deans Court, Sinclair House or Woodland Court. :x

[Audrey1988]

What was the reason?

Hell0!

It was nice reading the series of threads here, I'm not the only one who's flooded with these questions Good to know!

I've firmly accepted the unconditional for MSc Neuropsychology and my course starts Oct 2011.

I'm just confused about how to go about the whole accommodation process. Most of my funds are from the student loan and I'm trying to save as much as possible, non-university accommodations look nice + a lot cheaper in the long run! Anyone else looking for non-university accommodation/flatmates? I'm an Indian female

Hey, may I know what was the turnaround time for your application? I've applied for MSc in Comp Sci and I've been eagerly waiting for a reply ( applied on 1st April, Indian too )

[Audrey1988]

wtf!!!change of application date again!!!

[DZrom8232]

I know right. I just want to apply for accommodation so I can stop thinking about it. Audrey did you figure out where you are applying yet?

[M. E-S.]

yeah, it was very disappointing. Technical problems, maybe.

[..x Orchid x..]

I would love if someone could tell us more details about the halls. Someone who lives/ lived there basically.

[Audrey1988]

u should try to have a look at Bristol Accommodation thread then
Btw, the process works already. I`ve done mine

[..x Orchid x..]

Yes, I did. I read some of the threads.

[Audrey1988]

so, who have applied already? only me?

I did! I don't really expect this operation to be successful, nor am I sure I'll be accepting an offer for accommodation if I get one, but not trying would be silly. What residence did you apply for?
