Hey..
I'm firming Queen Mary and I'm conscious that I need to start considering accommodation! I'm pretty anxious about picking the a really rubbish option as I haven't visited (being from ireland) and was hoping some current students at QM could recommend what halls are best for socialising/meeting new people in as I'll know no one at all , like a lot of others, and what's the best value for money!

All help appreciated..

Thank you.

Well you can't really choose the halls I live quite far away also but I think I am going to visit it somewhere in April.. From what I've seen on their website/ read around here, I think I'll go for either Pooley House or Feilden. They are both en suite at 125 pounds per month.

It's a campus uni, all the halls are close to eachother and they're all sociable to varying degrees

You don't actually choose what hall you're in. When you apply, you basically have to rate what type of hall you want in order (so 1- premium en suite, 2 - economy en suite and so on...) Personally I went for standard en suite as my first choice, which I got. This year its £124 pw. Went for that because I didn't really want to pay £13 extra just for a bath etc like you get in premium (France House) and I could afford it. There's also a few cheaper non en suite options. What makes halls really is the people who live in them with you! No matter where you're put, if you're friendly and up for a laugh you'll meet like minded people and have a blast

Hi, I've also been worrying/trying to find out more about accommodation, is France house bigger than the other halls besides the bath??

Hi everyone!

I've firmed Queen Mary for the 2012-2013 entry and I am now in the process of applying for accommodation. Does anyone know what the difference between the different single en-suite rooms: economy, standard and premium actually is (apart from price obviously) ?

Thank you!

Economy en-suite: kitchen shared with 9-11 people
Standard en:suite : 4-6 people kitchen
En-suite premium: 4-6 but larger bathroom with a bath, bigger room, the opportunity to turn your bed into a double bed

No, there are no catered halls. However I heard you can somehow subscribe to the Curve and eat there everyday, might be cheaper than just paying on a daily basis

Do you know the prices?

[krissip0oh]

You can always apply to intercollegiate halls to have catered
