ahhh cool cool - and what were your impressions on those 3
that would be an amazing idea tbh

For me
1. Rootes (very sociable)
2. Cryfield (cheap)
3. Whitefields (a bit of both)

Oooh good choice!

I think ill be doing the same choices but in different order:

1.Cryfield (cheapness has to be the biggest factor)
2.Rootes (sociable)
3.Whitefields... (random this one, but seemed like the obvious last)

AV and JM were very nice, both with very big rooms. However even then even with no students there you did get a sort of.. anti-social feelings from AV. JM seemed a nice cosy place. Tocil seemed very dark and dismal, with very thin coridoors, but the rooms brightened the place up a bit. I did have the chance to look in Rootes in the May open day but I never took it. Ah well...

Why on earth is no one considering Westwood this year :-s

I was considering it, but people talking about the distance from everything else has put me off, plus the 26 to a kitchen thing.

It's one of the most sociable and cheapest accommodations as well as having the biggest rooms on campus.
The walk is nowhere near as bad as people like to make out - it takes the same amount of time to reach the library (aka the centre of campus) from Westwood as it does Cryfield! A 10 minute walk really isn't gonna kill anyone...

The kitchen thing puts me off the most.

I'm considering it! As my number 3 or 4 :P
The kitchen thing puts me off the most. The rooms only 0.01m^2 bigger than JM and isn't as big as AV, according to the accommodation website.

great! well I was thinking to make the same order as yours, but Cryfield seemed less sociable than Rootes when I visited them both.
OR I was thinking to put Cryfield as the first option (because I would save like 1000 pounds in that year!) and write in section about me that I love parties and I'm very sociable so maybe I'd be put with people like me Then I wouldn't mind being in Cryfield So i really don't know what to do...
