Wright Robinson hall 2011/2012

Maybe they put the doors in so that people can slam them dramatically. (ie: bathroom 1 is out of toilet paper; person from room 1 sneaks into bathroom 2; person from room 9 catches person from room 1; LET THE BATTLE BEGIN) :P

Out of interest, where else in the country (or the world!) are you guys moving to Manchester from?

WOO .
Cool! I'll be studying Neuroscience .

I'll be moving from Wakefield, West Yorkshire

I'm not sure about the toilet paper, but i augur great battles for the fridge (i know i'm too repetitive with that, but you'll understand when you arrive...)

As you can guess, from Spain (Andalucía )

wow purplebutterly you are so incredibly organised hahaa! I'm doing a uni shop today so i'll let you know what goodies I buy for floor 11 :P getting more and more excited by the day except it's quite a distance from home ....I'm from South Wales, about 30 mins from Cardiff if anyone wanted to know see you all soon though

I'm studying English Language too!! Finally found someone else doing my course lol I'm on the floor below you though

WOO .
Cool! I'll be studying Neuroscience .
Yeah I need my dad's van to bring stuff up (not that there's a lot, just the car is too small) and my mother wouldn't be trusted to find her way to Manchester without getting lost .
I'll be moving from Wakefield, West Yorkshire, which is right next to Leeds . There's nothing really interesting here. What about you?

I'm not sure what to do about this 'Welcome Week' business :/ I want to go out and do things but I haven't got much money . I guess I'll have to see when I arrive .

Just curious, is Neuroscience a "normal" career here? or is it a kind of PG? cause it sounds soo interesting!!

Mwahahahahaha, I'm gonna bug you to teach me how to do a Yorkshire accent! >: D

ooh sounds hard! lol
haha yeah, im using my mums people carrier! i think i will end up bringing loaaaaaads lol, wont be able to choose what clothes to bring and that lol
i'm from worksop, dont know if you've heard of it? its kind of near sheffield, so not too far away from you! what you on about, leeds is right good! you have leeds fest and everything haha
i know same, i will just end up spending money i dont really have lol, gotta go out in freshers week! x

Hi everybody! I'm already here!
As you said, letters are for floors (C is the reception, D first floor...an so on). Each floor has a corridor separeted into two parts: in the first one is the kitchen (with 2 fridges, 3 freezers, 2 owens and 16 cooking rings -they could change some of them for a freezer xD-), a bathroom (with 3 showers, 2 toilets and a sink) and rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 14, 13 and 12. Then there's a door (¿?) and in the second part are rooms 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and another bathroom.
So i'll stay in the same "corridor" than missevangeline and she'll stay next to VeniceLF but separated by a nonsense door. (I thought one "corridor" was for girls and the next one for boys, but it seems floors are single-sex, then? )

It's very near the centre (actually everiything is very close here) but the zone seems a bit lonely, specially during evenings. I hope it changes when you all are here!

Any question, ask me
See you soon!

I'm afraid I don't have much of a Yorkshire accent really :P according to people at least. Although a guy I met at Glastonbury guessed from my accent that I was from the Leeds(y) area o_O. I guess I could try and learn one in my last few weeks of living in Yorkshire :P.

I did indeed have my suspicions (;P), but wow, you're so brave to come and study in another country! How're things going so far?

Hi! Thanks for the info, it was really helpful! So I presume there are 6 showers, 4 toilets and 2 sinks altogether right... How are the bathrooms laid out? As in behind one door is a shower and toilet, and same in another. Then another for just a shower? And do they have cleaners everyday? Sorry about the million questions... It's just that there aren't many photos on the internet and I'm just really scared about sharing a bathroom now :/ LOL

Yeah, as a general rule, Oxford Road/Street (in my head, the whole thing's Oxford Road xD) is alright because there are so many students, but the area around Piccadilly station's dodgy after dark; although our accommodation's convenient, the downside (or upside, depending on your tastes) is that we're near the red light district. I daresay they'll talk to us more about safety etc when we get there, but as a general rule, don't wander around on your own at night. :P (I doubt I need to say that, but hey.) And yeah, if you're referring to the bars around the Gay Village, I gather they've had a lot of problems with crime recently, so makes sense to be cautious round there. But personally, I always feel safe when I'm walking around the city centre, which is more than can be said for Victoria Park (that place creeps me out, seriously). Aaand then some places can look pretty seedy from the outside (Afflecks Palace, lol) but they're safe on the inside...

Staying in 07.K.13, should be fun!
anyone know if theres a fb group at all for people for WR?

Omdzz We're near the red light district!??

I've heard of Canal Street, but not Gay Village? o_O
(Despite being straight I enjoy going into gay bars and nightclubs, at least in Wakefield, as they're good fun and often have a great atmosphere! So I'm looking forward to checking out Canal Street. In fact in was Manchester Pride on the Monday just gone I do believe?).

I have a query regarding practice of musical instruments: I play a few instruments, not to a great standard but I'm alright, and I was hoping to bring one or two along with me to keep up the practice. Is anyone else planning on doing the same? I've read someone staying in this halls is going to be studying music. I just don't want to get on anyone's nerves if I practice sometimes.
