Bath Accomodation 2015

I know I've already asked this question before, however I got no responses at all so I'm going to ask it again. Has anyone had their accommodation application verified yet? I applied on the 15th for accommodation so I'm wondering if maybe verification doesn't take place until after our grades our confirmed in August, or is it something different?

I have an acknowledgement of my application but from what I understand our rooms won't be allocated until after results day.

I understand that until you meet your offer conditions, ie after your A level results come out, it will show as 'awaiting verification'.

if accommodation options is not showing, it's because it has been over subscribed

good luck

Thank you, that's made me worry a lot less! I had already applied on the 15th and managed to put the Quads as my first choice, but I was worried that because it hadn't been verified that it might have been pushed back or something. Now that I know that it isn't verified until results I feel a lot better.

Glad you got Quads. I waited over 4 months before my Bath offer came through and I didn't want to firm Bath until the dept open day. By the time of the visit on 22 April, Quads had been over subscribed.

Can anyone tell me how the room sizes between Polden court and the quads compare as these are my first two choices and would like to know if anyone has lived in either , since the pictures on the website don't seem to show how large the rooms are! Anyone could help me I would really appreciate it!

The room sizes throughout campus don't vary massively. There are some bigger rooms for sure though. I live in Westwood and the room is big enough for me. The difference with the Quads is that everything is new and there is big communal space as well as a big kitchen plus dining space. If money is no object then go for the quads. I have no idea about polden i'm afraid.

Edit: Quads are en-suite tooo!
Edit 2: Polden rooms look bigger but I think the communal space is smaller. Quads is newer though.

Phew.. got what I would've wanted (Eastwood) but was very surprised at how fast all other accommodation went.

Still Eastwood, Westwood and John Wood Court available as previous poster said.

The nicest, most popular halls go first. Eastwood and Westwood are some of the oldest halls and JWC is in the city centre.

But also the priciest, I guess Bath is a pretty expensive place to live wherever you are but I think £155/pw for self catered is just plain unnecessary.

Ngl I haven't been in either properly. Just note that Polden is fully catered and that the Quads is half catered. This is a far more important decision than room size. Trust me. Unless you are a room size snob I think you'll be find with either room. I would be inclined to say the polden rooms are slightly bigger in some cases.

Which room in Polden court would you recommend? Small, Standard or Large? And also out of the Quads and Polden Court which would you say is the better option?

I have no idea what the room types are etc i'm afraid. Although overall I think the Quads is better. Catered accommodation at Bath just offers you a pre-paid card (at a discount) for locations on campus. This can make it very hard to make full use of it as sometimes you just want a small meal and you're stuck with catered credit. The Quads allows you the best of both worlds as it is half catered so you can cook if you want but when you cant be bothered you can go and get something from the bar or something.

Also the Quads are VERY new. They opened this year and have all new kitchens, TVs plus social rooms along with it's own laundry room. If I could, I would have gone Quads.
