Hey all (:
I'm a current first year at Bath Spa and would really recommend Waterside for accommodation - it's pretty basic in terms of appearance, but the rooms are really well equipped and laid out, they also have en suites which are a really decent size. Plus the kitchen/living area is a good size as well. The price isn't bad either at around £105 per week. Charlton court is much more modern, especially in the kitchen but the rooms tend to be a bit smaller (with a slightly bigger bed than waterside) unless you pay quite a bit extra. Charlton is a lot more expensive partly because the contract is 48ish weeks, unlike Waterside which is 40. I don't know much about Bankside house but it is the nearest to Sion Hill. I live with several people that are based up at Newton park and they really like living in Waterside - the buses are pretty good for getting to Newton, although I'm sure living at Newton has it's perks, living nearer town gives you more to do and explore. If anyone has any questions please ask (:
