    WHAT??????? How did you find out? **** my life for leaving things soo late.
    I know, i felt the same way. Looked at the start of April thinking there will be plenty left so I ended up going for non en-suite.

    st peters court is much quicker to get to uni than BGP. i live there now and we have a free bus that takes 10 minutes to get to main campus, that would take someone from BGP 20 minutes to walk, and its closer to town, which means cheaper taxis and stuff on nights out, we even walk back sometimes!

    All the ensuite rooms at broadgate park are gone, so I am going to put st peters court down, any idea of what it is like?
    I was in your position last year, St Peters court is the best off campus hall by far! all the rooms are en suite, and we get a free bus to campus, so its actually quicker to get to lectures for us than most other halls, even those on campus, because you might be staying in halls that are far from your lectures etc. You've definately made the right choice, and my advice is to get involved with EVERYTHING in first term! good luck with your exams x

    Hi.

    I have an offer for Ensuite BGP accommodation, and I have until tomorrow to decide.

    I really want a great social atmosphere, and I am torn between Catered and Non-Catered (UP accommodation).

    Can anyone shed some wisdom on the social aspect of BGP? Are there JCRs and are kitchens etc. a good place for socialising? (and the bar)?

    Thanks

    hey guys!

    I've applied for an ensuite studio flat at BGP as my first choice :/ but im thinking of asking if I can change this as i think i would be isolating myself from everyone. I'm aware this is the first year the ensuite studios have been offered to undergraduates does that mean i may be surrounded by many postgraduates?? Is it worth changing??

    I have an ensuite studio flat for September and I'm just a third year. I imagine it'll be quite mixed. You'll probably have to put a bit more effort into socialising but you won't be isolated or anything.

    Oh I don't know which halls, but if you to the online application thing and select University Park, you can see that ensuite rooms are still available, they're not 'greyed out'.

    Thanks and good luck with getting your preferred accommodation!

    I've been stressing this whole week between firming Leeds and Nottingham! Time is really running out and I want to get my accomondiation all sorted soon!

    I'll most likely decide by tomorrow evening, most likely will be Nottingham

    When you applied for accommodation, were all en suite rooms on University Park full? My friend applied yesterday and he said you can still pick the option but it says full next to it (or something?)

    No there were still some left I believe! There were 2 types of ensuites I think and one of them was full, the other wasnt! You too good luck with deciding and your accommodation application

    I was in Lenton and Wortley hall about 4 years ago and loved it. The food at tea time was pretty poor, (yet edible) but you can fill up quite well at lunchtimes with nice baguettes or paninis and chocolate muffins! I'd say the main campus hall atmosphere makes up for the poor food.

    In terms of room type I shared a bathroom with just one other and I was really happy with that. I don't think ensuite is really needed, as shared bathrooms encourages more socialisation as it forces you out of your room and to talk to those around you!!

    A studio is a single bed, little kitchenette and an ensuite. They're quite nice (I'm having on in September!) and it took me a couple of weeks to get my offer.

    Thanks, I haven't had a chance to go and see the accommodation. Do you know if it comes with items such as a kettle, toaster, iron + ironing board? And is there an oven? I couldn't see from the pictures. Thanks again
