Re: Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012The U1 will take u directly to wheatley from the top end of clive booth as well as warneford. Bout a 5min walk tops. Its about 25mins to wheatley but its what every student does really. not that many live at wheatley. Both those halls r quite lively. Depends on your flat though(Original post by JODIElalala)

Re: Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012All rooms are about the same size except wheatley (catered) where the rooms are huge.(Original post by OK Computer)
Best accommodation for an architecture student on Headington campus? I'm guessing the most appropriate would be the closest, yet with decent sized rooms right?
Any suggestions?

I would defiantly suggest staying in headington as my friend who does that course spent so much time in the studio doing work all night that it made it difficult to get back to other halls in the early hrs of the morning -

Re: Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012Definitely has to Clive Booth, as it is both spacious and closest to Headington campus(Original post by OK Computer)

Re: Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012If you hold an unconditional offer the deadline for applying is 2nd July so then you should get your response regarding accommodation after that date. At the same time if you have a conditional offer, then you have to wait until after the 27th August to find out what halls you got into. Also, if you have an unconditional offer your contract will be available online and you will need to login from 6 July and must be accepted by 10 August 2012 so I assume it doesn't really matter when you get the letter by post or if you do get one with the final accommodation notice.(Original post by Kostas88)
anyone get the final accommodation letter?? i applyed 2 months ago and i am still waiting theis decision!!!!
Hope it helped

Re: Oxford Brookes Accommodation Thread 2012(Original post by Liam2987)
Yes
I have no Idea yet.... I'm going to check out the choices at work later (Ironic since I've been waiting for this acc letter for ages so I can apply straight away!)
I heard the awful sound of my alarm clock this morning telling me to get up
In all seriousness though- good thread. Last year at Bournemouth I knew exactly where I wanted to stay- This year I have no idea yet! As long as its en suite and inhabited by cool people, then I'm pretty much set.
It would be best to find out where your degree is going to be based.
Ensuite :
Gipsy Lane - Clivebooth / Cheney
In Headington (Dorset House)
Middle of Nowhere (buses to gipsy lane and wheatley) Paul Kent, Crescent and Slade Park.
Non Ensuite
Gipsy Lane - Clivebooth / Warneford
Middle of Nowhere (buses to gipsy lane and wheatley) Paul Kent and Crescent.
Wheatley Campus - Lady Spencer Churchill
