    ...is more or less correct.

    Bear in mind as well the price difference with ensuite vs. shared bathrooms, as well as self-catered vs. part-catered.

    Some rooms are nicer than others. I remember seeing a friend's room in Connaught (Wessex Lane) and it was huge!

    Check out all the detailed pricing, if you haven't already, at

    Hope this helps.
