Gill Street South/Byron 2013!

Did you find any photos of the rooms as all I could find was the small ones on the NTU website! I am stuck between one of the new ones or private accommodation, I'm just worried about how many freshers will stay in private accommodation

SeeI don't know if it's just me but those rooms look so small for £133 a week!

I'm thinking of staying in one of the new ones too. I want to ask them if its just for freshers etc because if we get to choose our own block/floor/room then how do we know we wont end up with lots of non freshers?

If you are guaranteed to be put together with freshers then I'm pretty sure that the social side will be just as good as any other accommodation.

That's what I was thinking! When I go to the open day next weekend I'm going to compare the room sizes of Gill street and Gill Street South/Byron.

Gill streets rooms are 4.2 x 2.7 and Gill street south rooms are 4.7 x 2.4.

The beds are 6'9 long in south though, compared to Gill Streets 6' and I'm 6'4 so it's kinda important haha!

I'm going next weekend too! But the buildings are nowhere near done so it just depends whether they have like a show room that we can view.. I've arranged to go and see a room at the glasshouse and Russell view which are both private accommodations just under 10 minutes away

Ah so they are pretty much the same then, how do you even know all that information?!



That's what the pictures are from, a show room so I assume we can look round it at the open day.

I think because its new, alot of people are going for the new accomodation, byron has its own gym too, as far as i know!

People dont realise that gill street doesnt have a common room, no sofas, no tv.....but byron and new gill street south have massive kitchens, a tv, comfy sofas (one of the things we so should have had at gill street for the price we pay)

Where does it say you get a TV? Why are people choosing GSS over Byron? Byron's above a gym/cafe and either above or next to the new SU!

I don't know what I want to do about accommodation.
Either spend the extra £30 a week for Bryon or go with Sandby for £101. But the new ones look so nice plus you're only a fresher once.. whats everybody else thinking

I went to look at Sandby and really didn't like the look of it! The rooms are really quite dark, the kitchens are really small for the number of people in them and they are in corridors not flat, so anyone can walk in and use your kitchen. The new ones should be a lot better but it's just the fact that they are so much more expensive!
