Hey, I'm staying at Derby Hall too, I visited it back around January time (way before I even knew I was staying there!) and it is great, apparently it's won the best hall last year :biggrin:

Do you know when we find out more info about or actual rooms - like the address and stuff?

Hi, that's such a relief to hear! Derby Hall is like the only hall i didn't get to visit on the open day, so I was wondering what it would be like :tongue:

I've heard rumours that we don't find out what room we are staying in until we arrive for freshers (Think I saw it on the Nottingham Accomodation thread) :redface:

Would be nice to at least know bed size & carpet colour so I know what bedding colour to go for haha! :biggrin:

What course will you be studying?

I think all notts accommodation now haas 3/4 size beds - as for the colour scheme I'm afraid I can't help there though :L I can't wait to find out who my neighbours are going to be! What sort of room are you staying in? I'm doing English with creative writing, I stalked the top of the thread and saw you're doing chemistry, what A-levels did you take?

The rooms in Derby's B block (the shared ensuite block) are lovely - really large with decent sized bathrooms. Here's a panorama of one of the rooms, so you can see the colour scheme. Oh yes, and 3/4 sized beds is right. Get a 3/4 sized fitted sheet, but go for double sized duvet etc so you can use it in the future.

Sorry but this is incorrect. Majority are still standard singles.

Your hall will contact you in the next couple of weeks to tell you which size bed you have.

You will not be given the opportunity to change.
