Hey guys! im slightly worried about ashburne because i got there and apparently its mostly girls and quite quiet??
I'm really not quiet!! And i tend to get on better with guys anyway?

Ashburne is around 75% girls and is one of the most hotly contest halls so count yourself lucky. The building and grounds are very stylish too.

I lived on Owens Park for a year so let me tell you, quiet isn't all that bad.

I went on the open house tour thing earlier this year, and one of the girls who talked us round said that we didn't need to pay for the internet anymore. Here's the excerpt from the Victoria Hall (UBS) website about it: "A 10Mb broadband connection including a TV add on is provided to every room at Victoria Hall free of charge. If you want more, you can chose to upgrade to a 25Mb or even a 50Mb connection if you wish."

From http://manchester-ubs.victoriahall.com/f-a-q/

Yeah I emailed the accommodation team and they said internet packages are included in the rent of every halls

What's Oak House like, anyone?
It was my third choice so I obviously looked at it, but didn't really expect to be put there (which was stupid, I know!)

Me neither! Glad you all say it's nice though :smile:

weird question, but do you remember if it had a table and chairs in the kitchen? Or is it a bar stool type of set up? I'm just trying to picture it all haha

I think it was a bit of both honestly, but of course there is bound to be variation throughout the hall and I only saw one bit of it :smile:

Well it's the cheapest so don't expect anything too nice. There's loads of good info at the start of the thread and loads of pictures and videos to be found online. I hear it's got great social life so hopefully I'll see you out there

Does anyone know if I would be able to move in quite late on the friday? My mum doesnt finish work until 5ish, so would it be too late to pick up my keys and everything around 6? Do people do that?

I'm sure somebody has already asked this but I can't find the messages scrolling through, Is there an iron and ironing board in the flats at Richmond Park ? :smile:

Yes, they are

Have you read the first page of this thread? Also, there's a rather nifty little 'search thread' tool that can be quite useful :wink:

I'm not sure what time key collection stays open until (it should say somewhere in the bumf) but don't forget you can also move in on the Saturday or Sunday if that's more convenient.

I think there was a kitchen with a separate area for table and chairs just outside of it. I've only found 2 people so far but I'm convinced I'm in a single sex flat...
