    You're all fools! Stay in halls in your first year if you can. If you've already signed a contract then beg them to release you from it. Go on about how it's your only chance to stay in halls and that halls are an integral part of your university life etc.

    It's like living in a 2* hotel. You want to be social and enjoy your first year, not be in that place!

    HEY GUYS!!

    If anyone is firming Nottingham or because of results have now decided they are going to notts and is still in need of accommodation, I have a place in Manor Villages which is private accommodation, bigger than halls!! And a 5 minute walk from the Jubilee Campus!! I am going into my 2nd year and don't need this accommodation for next year anymore because I am living in town and really really need to offer the room to someone else!!

    It is a double room with 3 bathrooms in the flat - sharing between 6 people so one bathroom between two which is really good!!

    Because I need to offer it to someone asap I am willing to knock off the deposit price of £250 for anyone who needs a room desperately and you will just have to pay the rental price for the flat room!!

    Below is a link for the Manor Villages website:

    Please please email me at anjalic1@hotmail.com
    or contact me on 07956657325 if you are interested

    Thanksss Anjali
