    I can only go for Liberty Court as my course starts 1st september. I have to pay an extra £360 though to move in 2 weeks earlier!! NOT happy about them chaning accomm and the price increase of a min £2,600
    I am excited about starting in September though, just a shame about the accomm!

    The Liberty Court accomodation is pretty amazing. You might want to look at going into a private halls of residence if you want somewhere cheaper. There are a lot in the surrounding areas which are generally cheaper.

    I am so shocked with their prices!! I've been looking at Liberty Hall too! So the one worth 170 pounds a week will be an en suite right?

    Talk about expensive :P

    Only Liberty Hall is ensuite, Liberty Court (at the same price) is shared
    It's ridiculous!

    Re: City University accomodation
    yes... its really expensive for the 2011/12 term.
    So anyone had decided which accommodation to choose?
    anyone have any idea that, is it save to stay with Unite which is not an accommodation provider through City Uni?
    i'm still thinking which should i choose.
    i am being offered a conditional offer and this offer will determine by my final year result which will only be available around end of August. i am so worry if i got rejected, no idea whether the deposit for accommodation is refndable or not...
    HELP>>................

    I am going to choose Liberty Court. I think liberty court and liberty hall only provides for City uni, the unite one, I am not sure but it should say on Unites website
    If you dont get in you do get your deposit back but you must inform them in writing and/or e-mail. And dont leave it to late, do it asap. But e-mail city accomm and ask, they are very helpful

    Liberty Court is my only option as I start in September. Kinda sucks but not too big a deal, as long as I have a bed and a shower thats all I need :3

    Re: City University accomodation
    i did try to email the student accommodation services... they are instead quite helpful but lots of information they cant provide me... i asked them, if i choose east central house which the provider is Unite, and if i not satisfy with it, can i switch to another Unite accommodation, since its stated in City website that we will be signing a contract with Unite instead of City... they cannot provide me an answer for this.... :<
    any idea when do we need to pay deposit for accommodation then?
