The Warwick Accommodation Thread (+Guide in Post#1)

I've not found Rootes to be loud at all. Go for it, just put on your application form that you also like quiet time in which to work, and they'll probably match you up with what they expect to be a quieter corridor

Thanks, I might do just that! What do you think of JM? I heard it's more sociable than AV and Lakeside..? The only two I don't really want to be in are Whitefields and Tocil. They looked kind of.. ugly?! haha sounds slightly pathetic, but I think I've taken them off the list!

So yeah, I think I'll pick Rootes and JM.. any ideas for the third?

No, I don't believe that course has any impact on accommodation; in fact, they might look at it solely to make sure you're well mixed with people on other courses .

There's one oven, one hob and one microwave in each kitchen. However, it wasn't really much of a problem, only occasionally does someone have to wait for someone else in order to cook. It's just something you get used to really easily . Besides, doesn't Rootes have one of the better kitcheneople ratios?

can u apply to arthur vick for 30 weeks and then jack martin for 39 weeks?

Unless the rules have changed significantly, no. Other than I think Westwood, halls have set periods for letting (either 30 or 39 weeks, no option to choose which you want).

Woah, I just checked and the rules have actually changed

"Application form
Consider your accommodation options and then state your preferences on the online accommodation application form
List at least three choices, only one of which can be in a residence offering en suite facilities for 30 weeks and one of which can be a residence with en suite facilities for 39 weeks, this is because the number of applications for these halls is usually substantially larger then the number of rooms available"

Blimey

Hey folks,
Just a few - basically I thought that I may aswell get the accommodation stuff sorted now cos i pretty much know what I'm looking for. On my application i put Rootes 1st, JM 2nd and Cryfield 3rd (had only really thought about the 1st 2) I really wanna be in Rootes tho cos from this thread i don't think it JM sounds like the place for me. Im one of those lucky people who is rarely bothered by noise and i can sleep through pretty much anything. I said on my form that I generally go to bed late, love to socialise and always up for meeting new people. Didn't really put much else cept for taste in music and the like, what u reckon to my chances?
Also, it turns out a friend of mine from school is also applying to rootes this year. I know unis in general like you not to live near schoolfriends, which is fine, but do u reckon itll affect either of our chances of being put in rootes?
Thanks!

I think it does, but even though Benefactors has one of the worst (22 to one kitchen) the kitchen is twice as big, especially if you're downstairs. And you get two of everything. You very rarely have to wait (mostly just for oven shelves..) and there's much more space to cook. Especially as there's never 22 people cooking at the same time. :P

Also, in terms of storage, you get an entire strip (well almost, i think there's 22 people and 20 cupboards) of storage. As in a top cupboard with 3 storage places, a drawer and a bottom cupboard with a shelf.

Most other places you only get a tiny cupboard...not even that ¬_¬
