Just created this thread to see who is in Barnes, particularly other freshers! I am Block C 027 and will be studying Computer Science and Maths. Who else is in Barnes?
Haha no way! I have 44/1 which I'm guessing is room 1? I assume you guys have left it in pristine condition for us freshers haha jokes aside though what were your experiences like living in a flat and making friends, socialising with the rest of Barnes etc and also what were the rooms like? I actually haven't seen them yet (stupid of me I know). Id appreciate any insight and advice!

Yeah it is, I was in 44/4. All the rooms are the same, aside from the view you get. And we did actually, spent most of the morning when we left clearing it out and getting rid of all the rubbish
I lived in there as a 3rd year so my experiences will be different, I came in with my three housemates who I'd been living with since first year. However because there's 3 flats to a floor, you'll be able to make good friends with the people on the same floor as you. I'd also recommend being friendly with those on the floor directly above you as the noise travels upwards and you don't want to be getting noise complaints.
The rooms are fairly decent, you get a desk with drawers, chair, shelving, room phone, wardrobe, mirror, bedside table and bed, mattress and pillow. The rooms are a decent size and the heating works well.
And the shower ... is the best shower ever. It's a smart sensor shower but it's oh so powerful and the water is nice and warm!
