Heyy!

I have applied for Lyon St and Victoria chambers accommodation for after summer (I'll be going into 1st year).

Does anyone know if either of these halls are any good?

[Gaffel]

I have applied for both of them as well, and just got an offer back for Victoria Chambers, but no real idea whether they are any good

(Gonna be a 1st year as well )

[leeeigh_x]

That's soo good...I haven't heard back yet, hopefully should hear back this week

What course are you studying?

Gonna be doing Behavioural Science
And you?

[Brizee]

Can't say I've visited either but if it helps the Lyon Street cleaner is totally sound. Drinks at the Union after work most days and all the bar staff get on well with him.

So does that mean 1st years can apply for the accommodation that says "mature student (20+)"? Because I feel there is little choice for 1st year students.

First years can apply for Victoria Chambers, I lived there this year along with many others who were also first years. Feel free to ask if you have any questions

Ok thanks. The only thing I was wondering is if it is all same-sex accommodation or if there is mixed sex? I don't think it specifies on the abertay website, but I know Alloway Halls is all same-sex.

Yeah - It means just that - if you are 20 or over you'll be more likely to be put there whatever year you are in.

As far as I am aware they're pre-dominantly same-sex but you can specify which you want in your application.

It is mixed due to it basically being corridors of 17-18 people sharing rather than flats. Although the ground floor is four flats of 2-4 people sharing and the top floor 9 people sharing.

Hope that helps

Ok thanks for all the help (also thanks to Brizee too)

So does anyone know which is better? Lyon St or Vic
Chambers?

[German_Saskia]

Just applied for:
1st Vic Chambers
2nd Meadowside and
3rd Lyon Street.

This is the feeling that it's going to be serious now.

**** just got real

GL getting to the one u want to and GL on flatmates

[German_Saskia]

Got my offer for Vic Chambers. Just a bit confused as it says:

Room Type: En-suite Twin

What does that 'Twin' mean?

[Jamesnoble1]

Twin means theres 2 beds in the room

Oh ok I see. Thanks. Guess I should call and tell them that I would prefer a room for myself but En-Suite as I applied for.

[THESHade]

I think Twin means that you hav a double bed? Well, u can say by the prize, i fit` s 250 per month then James is right. If it`s around 400, then u geta double size d bed + en-suite

It`s around 400. If it is a double bed then lucky me I guess.
