Bath Accomodation 2015

Hi, do any of the types of accommodation have carpets, they all seem to have wooden floors in the pictures?

This UCAS thing is really unfair, got caught by it and now all of my preferred accommodation has gone.

Hi Boo,

The choice between these two halls really depends on your preferences.

In Polden Court the main differences are that it is fully catered, with £55 credit for food each week and flats can be shared by 5/8 students (on level 1) or 22/24 students (levels 2 & 3). You are also able to choose between three different sized rooms.

In the Quads you only get £27.50 catering credit as it is part-catered, and flats are shared by 8-10 students.

The choice between the two would depend on whether you would prefer full or part catered and how many people you would like to share a flat with.

I hope this helps with the decison, if there's anything else you'd like to know feel free to quote me.

I applied for Quads as my first choice this morning. Anyone know the rough chances of me getting it provided I get the grades?

Thanks Carly. Can you tell me something about John Wood Building city accommodation? I am worrying that I might not be able to get a room on campus.

Hi,

In my experience all the accommodation has wooden floors, but I actually preferred it to carpet as it's a lot easier to keep clean than a carpet and having to do less cleaning is always good.

Any other questions let me know

That's annoying, is there any way to get the uni to fit carpets into your room? I really want carpets! It would be nice if you raised this issue to the Student's Union as I think many people would prefer carpets. Thanks!

I just firmed Bath today!
How do people know the status of availability of particular rooms? I'm rather anxious I've lost out on some accommodation due to not submitting my applications thus far. :/

Hi,

Congrats on firming Bath! Look forward to seeing you in September!

When you apply for accommodation on the form it will tell you which options are available.

Feel free to quote me with other questions.

Thanks Sam! How does the application process pan out after I've chosen accommodation? Will I hear anything until results day?

Hi all,

Just went on to Bath accommodation website and found all the ensuite rooms have gone which has made me feel really annoyed as a big part of choosing Bath was because the accommodation I had seen- quads and woodland court was really good. Really feeling a bit unnerved about not having ensuite as I've basically had my own bathroom since my sibling left to university years ago. Which out of the ones listed below have the nicest bathrooms as they aren't pictured on the accommodation website? Any other factors that are better or worse in those below?

Thanks in advance.

Options left on campus are:
Brendon Court
Westwood
Eastwood

Hi,

You will probably get an email confirming that they have received your application, but you won't know where you have been allocated until after results day. This is because the accommodation office can't confirm who goes where until they know how many people have met their offers, follow this link for more information on the room allocation policy.

Hope this helps, any other questions just let me know

Thanks

Hi,

I can imagine it's a bit frustrating that your first choice has gone but all the other accommodation is still a high quality, and when it comes to living off campus in your second year and beyond, it's highly likely you will have a shared bathroom then.

I have only really seen the Eastwood and some of the Westwood bathrooms, as the style may change between the different blocks in Westwood. I lived in Eastwood and we had three toilets and two showers between 13 of us, and we never really had many time clashes. The toilets and showers are in separate rooms as well which helps. I lived in the Eastwood that had a sink in my room so I could brush my teeth etc in my room which removes some dependence on the shared bathroom.

The Westwood bathrooms I have seen were in Quarry which is one of the long corridor style blocks and they had large rooms containing several separate shower and toilet cubicles. This style meant that there was a lot more showers so less likely to have any time clashes and people said they soon got used to the layout. The Westwood rooms also have sinks.

Hope this helps and any more questions please let me know

Thanks

Claire

Hi there,
I am trying to choose between Brendon Court and Westwood right now because my offers came late (I originally wanted the quads). Brendon court seems to be the better option with the slightly bigger rooms (apparently) and catering plan, though the fact that many of these rooms are still available makes me worry that I have missed something. However, I think I want to sometimes cook and sometimes buy things when eating at university, so should I choose westwood or brendon court? Which would be the cheaper option in my case? I also want a place that is quite social (Brendon court seems quite secluded to me, but I might be completely wrong).
Some help as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated because I need to apply tomorrow.
Thanks,
Jena
