If you've got the form and you're sure about where you want to stay, there's nothing stopping you sending it in now. Probably better so you don't forget later on and end up homeless!

The lifts aren't too bad. Although I was in lawrence and someone on the very last day decided to fill the lifts with complete crap so you couldn't use them so people on the 19th floor had to carry all they're stuff down stairs!!!!

The fire alarmas at 3/4 in the morning are annoying but have warm clothes in a bag by your bed and remeber your student ID card and you'll be fine

I haven't recieved any forms yet (Been offered and accepted a place). I was under the impression that they get sent out to you automatically when you accept a place. Does this sound about right or do I have to ask for them?

they do come automatically if your not living to close to uni. Be patient they've only just finished with final yaers and they'll probably all be sent out at once

they all have 3am fire alarms

That’s quite a let down! what’s the deal if you just stay in your room? Im guessing its drunk first years who do it ???? . . . . As the year progresses do the number 3AM fire alarms quieten down?

it tends to be drunk people or people who burn things. I wouldn't say it quitens down but they are rare at least 1 a year but you may only get one I think I got about 7 or 8 in my whole 1st yr. If you are found in your room you get a fine and to be honnest they're that bloody loud you just wanna get out of the building!

Low-rise is mostly first years (go Bishop ryder flat 1), and they almost never have fire alarms (I had 1 last year and it was a test). Which is great as you can just laugh at the high-rises if there's a fire alarm in the morning (thats if your awake at that time). As for the fire alarms they do tend to quieten down as people run out of money to get drunk (so as terms progress), and during exam periods.

I had a fire alarm the night before one exam. Most low rise is final yrs or second yrs (byshop ryder flat 3-5, old cross, vauxhall and the other one I can't remeber name of are all final yrs
