Re: Stenton Townhouses?
I have not seen any more information other that what's listed on the website. I have considered them, as I will study postgraduate I will need 51 weeks. I assume that a lot of postgraduates will end up there as the only other alternative that's located on campus is Mackinder which is expensive.

Re: Stenton Townhouses?
I have a room in Stenton Townhouses next year and haven't seen them yet but they're some of the cheapest accommodation, new and on campus. I was at St George's this year and I wouldn't reccommend it as everyone in my block was foreign so even though they were lovely it made it very difficult to socialise :/

Re: Stenton Townhouses?I'm in N3 too(Original post by Spence_LJS)
I've also paid and will be staying there next year
Block N3 I think... Tis my second degree so I'm a 'mature' student at 24.

Re: Stenton Townhouses?You too!(Original post by Spence_LJS)
Ah awesome - nice to meet you! haha. Have you joined the Stenton Townhouses group on Facebook? I've tried to, but I think someone in the group needs to confirm it or something.
So, Newington Houses N3? Can't wait to start
What will you be studying?
No I haven't joined it yet, I will do at some point, it's just that I haven't told my work that I'm going to uni yet, and I'm friends with some people from work on facebook haha.
Yeah me too, under 3 months to go now! I'll be studying English Literature and Film & Theatre
And looking up the page, I see you're studying Speech and Language Therapy?
Now we just have to find the other 10 people in our house haha. -
Re: Stenton Townhouses?Sneaky! Haha, I told my work last October when I tried to quit... Unfortunately/fortunately, I negotiated a 3 day a week contract instead, which suits me. I don't have to pretend to be in love with the marketing world anymore!(Original post by PB7)
You too!

That's nifty - I've got an English Language and Literature degree from Sheffield uni, so I might be able to help you out occasionally
Haha. And yep - I wonder if we'll find them before we start. Guessing from my room number, I reckon I'll be on the top floor - blimey, that's gunna be a lot of stairs.

Re: Stenton Townhouses?Ah, would they not let you leave completely then? I only work in retail, so it's not a massive problem for me, and I might even be able to get a transfer.(Original post by Spence_LJS)

Haha thanks!
I'd love to say I'll return the favour, but unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about Speech and Language Therapy haha.
We'll probably find some, but I doubt we'll find all 10. Yeah, four flights of stairs if you're on the top floor, ouch. I should only be on the first floor which will be nice!
dont wanna think about second option i only wanna end up there
