Anyone else staying in Langstone flats?

I'm in, E/02/6.

Although.. I've just been given a relatively high paying job and I'll probably be deferring another year.

How can we possibly answer that question?

Maybe one of the previous students can give their opinions of their experience there...a lot of information was given for the guildhall halls but I never really found anything mentioning about langstone. It wasn't my first choice but I've been located to the langstone flats. Just wondering what to expect from it

Langstone Village is cool. A lot of people hate it on because it's like a 20 minute ride from the uni. Although it's a bit annoying in the mornings to have to get up that much earlier, it's not the end of the world. Taxi to Guildhall is only about a fiver each way which is nothing if you split it between a full taxi.

The flats themselves are actually really nice. The rooms are a decent size and the en suite in a luxury that I missed when I returned home. You'll have a desk, a few cupboards and probably a closet. The room sizes and contents to vary a bit. Last year I had a room almost twice the size of everyone else in my flat because there was a room with a balcony above me. It's a bit of a lottery really.

You will share your living room/kitchen with the other 7 of your flat mates. You get a ****ty oven (works eventually though), a couple of fridges and loads of cupboards which is pretty standard. Living room consists of a couple of sofas and a big table.

Each block has like 100 students in and the village probably near on 1000 or something in total. Make friends with people from other flats too and it's a really nice place to live.

I had a great time there and would recommend it to anyone.

If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

Wow thank you so much! This was very useful information! Yeah you're right, because it's so far away from the university, I don't really think it was most people's first choice but after hearing your description I can say I feel relieved. Haha I don't think I'm as lucky as you to get a big room
