THE ACCOMMODATION IS CALLED PARISH ROOMS IT IS A NEWLY BUILT, MODERN BUILDING JUST AROUND THE CORNER FROM CALLICE COURT. IT IS A UNIVERSITY ACCOMMODATION BUT IT IS NOT OWNED BY COVENTRY UNIVERSITY. YOU WILL BE SHARING A KITCHEN AND LOUNGE WITH 4 OTHER GIRLS. THE RENT IS £440PCM WHICH IS CHEAPER THAN CALLICE AND IS UNBELIEVABLE CLOSE TO THE UNI A DEPOSIT OF £460 AND APPLICATION FEE OF £60 WILL BE REQUIRED. FINALLY THE TENANCY STARTS IN AUGUST AND ENDS IN MID JUNE, BUT YOU WILL ONLY PAY HALF OF THE RENT FOR AUGUST (£220). FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE REPLY TO THIS POST OR EMAIL ME, MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS, brown-4eva@hotmail.co.uk PICTURES OF A TYPICAL ROOM IS AVAILABLE.

    oh wow, coventry over bath that's shocking. what was the offer for bath? i've firmed leicester.
    Baths offer was AAB which is my predicted, but like I said bath were more based on research rather than the students whereas Coventry was the other way around and I would rather have more interaction with the teachers and learn everything easier and no i have support than go to bath and just be told to go away and do it

    Hey guys,
    Coventry is my insurance and I want to study Psychology (with a sandwich year). They offered me BCC yay!
    I'm rather worried that I won't get into my firm (Loughborough) so if so, does anyone know the likelihood I will be able to get halls accommodation (for Coventry that is)?
    Also, I really didn't look into Coventry much before I applied, so could any current students tell me what the nightlife is like in Coventry?
    Thank you! Ashleigh xx

    Psychology, good choice . My friend got into Cov as an insurance choice and she ended up in Apollo for accomodation. Bit further out than the other places, and not one I'd considered as someone who firmed Cov, but from what I've seen it looks very nice. I've heard good things. So, what I guess I'm saying is that you'll end up in decent accomodation if you go to Cov. To be fair, pretty much all our accomodation is awesome, although I don't really recommend catered- but that's personal preference, I guess.

    Nightlife is okay. Not loads of choice but drinks are very cheap and there is a student night on somewhere most days of the week. Plus there's Birmingham and Leamington Spa nearby if you really want a change of scene.

    I got let in back in 2008 through clearing with one grade lower than what they asked for. Things may have changed now though as there's more demand for places.

    I have this worry too!
    I guess we just get given accommodation that is leftover, hopefully. (If we don't get our firms that is lol)

    I'm going into my second year in October and came to Cov through clearing with BDD when the requirements were ABB (I think!) so I guess there'd be some?
    I don't know if it'll be the same as you guys as I came through clearing though? Might give you an idea anyways
