DMU firmers - Accommodation 2015

Hey,

i saw a load of posts from people working out what accommodation they wanted!

I thought it'd be useful to have an 'umbrella' thread where everyone can post their choices and get ideas!

personally I'm debating between Filbert Village, The Grange, Bede Hall & New Wharf Courts?!


I'd love Liberty but I dunno if I can afford it yet!

how about yourselves?

yeah firmed yesterday, now just trying to decide what accommodation to pick, its tough. i was thinking about going for the cheapest one since my student finance last year was over what the accommodation want by quite abit and i would have quite abit left over if they gave the same this year, but at the same time i want the most convenient place i was thinking liberty cause that's the one with the gym onsite (i think) but i don't like the look of the rooms. Ah this again is based off pictures XD i realy need to go see the rooms.

Haha, yeah same! It was so weird firming it! Like it is real now!

I'm in the exact same position, I like Liberty because of the onsite gym but I'm just trying to see if I could afford to!

At at the minute I'm looking between Filbert, Bede and New Wharf! Mainly based on price but I love Liberty so I'm in two minds! Depends on finance and how much I save I guess.
I firmed back in January and just recently booked Mansion Court - it's soo nice and right next to campus

i was thinking about liberty's onsite gym, it said there are still charges so i guess you have to pay? but there's a leisure centre near by so i thought about just joining there instead since it will be bigger and more will go on.

i get how you feel firming, im scared and excited! you seem to really want to get into liberty so im hoping for you to get it :^_^:
Had an unconditional and confirmed my place :smile: I have book a Studio Apartment in the Queens Court building :smile:

cheers man, I dunno, it's like I like the accommodation of Liberty but Bedes has more people so y'know! It's more social.

so is Liberty your choice as well?

Hey everyone! Just got an offer for Game Art Design and I was wondering which accommodation you'd recommend. Is there a specific one where most people from the game art course stay at?

I'm kinda liking Liberty Park and Newarke Point so far. Can anyone give some pros and cons? Thanks!

Liberty apparently has an on-site gym too. Ive bever been that much of a sporty guy but I'd like to try and shape up in university so I think that'll be a benefit. But I still dont know... the other halls seem cool too and I cant go to an open day (im from outside the UK) to take a look for myself!
Anybody seen the new place round the corner from the Union? Studios but suits me as I'm a bit older and a lot lazier! Called Primus Place. My apartment is massive as well!
Hi everyone, If anyone is looking for accommodation next year I have a studio apartment at Upperton Road. It's £119pw and all bills including electricity are included. You also get free access to the onsite gym, it's about a 10 minute walk to DMU and 15 minute walk to the city centre and there is an onsite supermarket.
I'm offering £50 to anyone who takes over the contract before 10/04/15.
PM if you're interested or need more information
Hi everyone,

Up until a couple of months ago I was at DMU studying Mental Health Nursing but have unfortunately had to drop out and move back home to Cheshire due to illness.

I have signed a tenancy for a room that I am unable to get out of and need someone to take it over. The room is in a lovely house on Barclay Street, only a 10 minute walk from DMU and is £60 a week exc. bills. It will be shared with 4 second year nursing students who are all lovely. Ideally we would like another nursing student or at lleast someone who will understand/be respectful of the busy nursing schedule! The house has 5 double bedrooms, a living room, kitchen complete with fridge, freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer. There are two bathrooms containing both showers and a bath and there is space for parking.

Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you are interested.

Thank you!
