Are weights at student accomodation allowed?
I'm planning on buying a 100kg Barbell set to put in my room for the days where you are too lazy to go out to the gym. (Yeah I know, gonna be hard without a rack and a bench.) I've read the contract and don't see anything written about banning weights/barbells.
So has anyone got weights in their room and do you think they are allowed?

Aren't rooms small? How would you be able to do anything in there (less without a rack and a bench)?
Its 12-13 Square meters so I reckon I have enough space to do some squats, deadlifts and military press (sitting on my bad
).
Go to the gym you lazy bhenchod.

Gym's a bit crap too. Mostly machines and a tiny weight area which is full all the time.

Does it matter? I mean the floor won't collapse from an extra 100Kg right? xP

the person below you will have a thing or two to say about that
The contract won't say a barbell is banned, mainly because it is assumed no one would actually bring a barbell and weight plates into their room instead of using a gym.
The contract isn't going to say 'no swimming pools in rooms,' doesn't mean it's acceptable to put a swimming pool in your room.

What exactly do you expect to get done in your room?
Ask your accommodation officer?

Since you haven't actually bought them yet, you'd be better off joining the gym or, if it's as bad as you say, getting an adjustable dumbbell set over a barbell set (although you'd have to weigh up the cost for how much weight you'd need).
If the uni gym sucks, just go to a local public gym. You're not gonna be able to do anything worthwhile with a barbell and 100kg of weight in a student accommodation room, so that's just a waste of money.
50 kg bicep curl? lol

How far away is the gym?
You could probably just fit a barbell in but it would be seriously tight.
A few DBs would be easy for:
Push: Overhead/floor pressing, weighted push ups
Pull: 1-arm rows
Knee dominant: Bulgarian split squats with your rear foot on the bed, high rep goblet squats, all lunge variations
Hip dominant: single leg hip thrusts/bridges, 1-leg RDLs, Nordic curls.
Core: dragon flags, roll outs
Curls and overhead tricep extensions
I wouldn't bother bringing a barbell in and clog up the space. Save that for the gym!
