After seeing so many threads get opened for one question, I figured it would make sense to make a thread for them all.

So basically, if you have a question about UEA, the gym, the surrounding area (basically anything!) then post in here and current students can answer them for you!

Please also search this thread/the forum to see if your question has been asked before - just to save us from repeating ourselves!

Lastly, if you have a question about accommodation, then post it in here.

Thanks

Is there a thing on campus where bikes are sold cheaply at the beginning of term(s)?

At my brothers old uni he said the police donated lost, unclaimed bikes to the uni and they were sold or rented for about £15 a term or on a yearly basis, and I was wondering if there is anything similar at UEA?

Good question! Yeah, think I'm going to hold off buying a bike until I get to UEA.

In addition dr bike also sells second hand bikes throughout the year (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dr-Bik...A/312671550369) They tend to be quite reasonably priced too.

I've been reading up on accommodation and what not, but I haven't seen anywhere that answers my question: Are you in halls for the three+ years? If not, how much is accommodation in Norwich (renting a place for 2nd and 3rd years) - generally expensive or reasonable?

Also I have been reading about the social life which sound fab, but I was wondering if the Waterfront/LSR are based on campus or a bus ride away?

Sorry if these answers are very easy to find - I'm getting very stressed with this stuff and am giving up after 5 min of trying to sort anything related to uni out!

Thanks again

One year only - you used to be able to get accommodation in later years if you wanted (my brother did!) but they just don't have the space anymore.

Rent is fairly cheap - I think the average is £250 a month excl. bills

LCR is on campus, waterfront is in town, so you'd need a bus (not sure how many!)

I've been looking at the Sports Park website and it seems like the membership doesn't cover classes etc. As well as joining the gym, I'd like to take aerobics classes. Can you get a membership for these too? And if so then how much for?

Classes are £3 per class (iirc) or you can by a ticket for 5 classes that costs £11

Also, with the twin rooms, do you get a desk & wardrobe each or do you share those too? In the accommodation guide there's only one of each between two so it looks as if you have half the space of others

Hey! Do we get "reading" weeks at UEA? My friends at UCL and Notts did, Leicester didn't(!) Is it course dependant? Thanks!

No I'm 99% sure you have one each for both

Edit: Just checked the floorplan - you definitely have one each!
