Accommodation - Endcliffe Village 2012Okay so the allotment for accommodation has started today, so I basically wanted a separate thread for it, so that everyone can meet their potential flatmates.
BTW I got Howden D4.
What did you get?
Also, how is Howden as an overall experience? I've heard that it can be a little noisy, is it true? -

Howden B1
Anyone know how many people are in the flats in Howden? Or do they vary?
for howden it says 255 rooms in total.

Re: Accommodation - Endcliffe Village 2012Howden is noisy because its right by the taxi rank and right by the edge, I lived in Rivelin which is tucked away at the back, so I had a comparatively silent year. But Howden is supposed to be great if you have earplugs during exam time & for nights you're not going out! because you WILL get woken up x(Original post by rnsingh1)

Re: Accommodation - Endcliffe Village 2012DON'T PANIC. Hey, on the bright side it may not be noisy! And it's not in the middle of nowhere, look at this map: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/polopoly_...b-version-.pdf. The map they gave us in the accepting place wasn't very detailed for the accommodation bit - this one is more detailed.
P.S. Are you the girl who was asking about lawrencefield on facebook?Last edited by musicstudent; 19-07-2012 at 16:00. Reason: i put the wrong url -

Re: Accommodation - Endcliffe Village 2012Hello everyone!!!
I was in Howden C2 for my first year (im going into 3rd year now)
and I have to say it was really noisy and awful and totally messed up my sleep pattern! I wouldnt have minded so much if i had a fun flat and we went out and stuff but instead you just hear everyone else returning home.
It was constantly noisy tbh. Its right opposite the taxi ranks and the Edge bar (the main centre) so its noisy- during exams I did find this really stressful, especially when you have a 9am exam and you can just hear people until 5am coming back noisy
especially when they think its fun to sing and shout and argue outside your window! There is security but they dont do anything at all
Howden is the block which is worst for receiving noise because its next to everything. If your facing the Edge (which my room was) then get the ear plugs! If your facing the other way- consider yourself lucky!
Sorry, not trying to put anyone off! 1st year isnt too hard anyway and most courses you only need a pass- just its not fun in respect to noise
Im telling my experience, dont ask if you dont want to know.Last edited by pinkangelgirl; 22-07-2012 at 17:31. -

Thanks for the details. Any idea which side D4, room2 would be facing? (I hope its on the opposite side of The Egde :P) -
