Unite North Lodge

My viewing is at two I think, what about yours? Well I was hoping that the classic and basic rooms would be the same size but the classic would have a double bed and the basic a 3/4 which means more floor space which i kind of need in my course to do work so we'll see tomorrow I guess! Mine's currently a basic but the person on the phone put me in a flat on ten so that's cool. London met will be good fun Being a student in London is good, you can get everywhere and anywhere at all times of the day which I love so much. Price wise it isn't as bad as everyone says, if you go out in Mayfair obviously it'll cost you your arm, however if you go to say shoreditch or hoxton and these places drinks are about £4 which is the same kind of city centre prices you'd pay anywhere really. Then there's student nights every week and places like cheapskates where drinks are 99p so yeah it's good! Obviously it being London you can get anything you'd ever need to always close by. x

Are you booking in North lodge or emily bowes?

Guys, I'm thinking of applying the unite accommodation. But I'm still struglling on whether I should go with Emily Bowes OR North Lodge....it's just so difficult for me to decide...guys guys please help, give me some suggestion....please please...

it seems NL is new, but EB seems nicer, but there are some students said EB had hot water problem before, the staff said they already fixed it, but....not sure whether there will be some problem this year...

BTW, I'm going to UCL to do master this year, so this distance and price I think it quite good for me!

Hi Jessica Wang,

My name’s Frankie, I work for UNITE.

I'm here to give help and advice to TSR users about living with UNITE.

I noticed your post and thought a response might be helpful.

Emily Bowes Court and North Lodge have a lot of similarities, so its understandable you are struggling to choose between them, I’ve listed a few points below that might help you with your decision.

- Emily Bowes Court has a slightly bigger common room than North Lodge
- There is a Tesco express adjoined to Emily Bowes Court (Although it’s only a few buildings down from North Lodge!)
- There are fewer rooms in North Lodge than Emily Bowes Court.
- North Lodge is a brand new build (So 2012 students would be the first to live in it!)

If you’re able to get to Emily Bowes Court, you can book a room viewing there, and at the same time you can view a North Lodge sample room that’s been built within Emily Bowes Court, this might be a good way to compare the two.

With reference to the hot water issues at Emily Bowes Court last year; we’ve worked really hard to rectify the issues and we have new back-up systems in place, meaning Emily Bowes Court now has a very robust hot water supply

If you have any other questions, just drop me a message on here.

I hope this helps,

Frankie

Hey Jessica,im going to UCL as well. Want to get the same flat? Since you have to share with other students.

Thanks Frankie. It's very useful for me. I just decided to go with the Emily Bowes. Hope everything will be good.
