Goodricke is awesome. I'm not bothered about accommodation quality, my parents didn't live in a mansion and I didn't have an ensuite bedroom at home so it's not like I miss having a shower in my room, it's the college spirit in goodricke that I loved. I spend most of my time in 'cell block c'. :smile:

Halifax just felt really isolated. We didn't have a common room either because JJs was always locked and rarely open during the day.

I was in house E in 07/08 before I left Uni. :wink:

Haha, the later letter houses were newer than the early letter houses.

House E, and all that block of houses had radiators from the 60s or something. It was quiet good in the way that you could use it as a bench by your window. :p:

It wasn't very informative really, just a letter and a few booklets -welfare, MAD, accom, freshers. I've got an unconditional - so i guess i get it before most?
