St Gabriel's?

Is it easy to get into or is it oversubscribed? Is it fun? Do the girls there get teased for being in an all girl's hall? I might go there but if I could have a bit of insider information first then that would be good :smile:

i want to know tooo! i really like the look of the place, and i'm liking the whole collegiate style thing... except i don't really like the stigma of the 'virgin megastore' nickname... is it really that commonplace?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
NO NO NO NO NO
DON'T!
I hate it here SO much it's like being at boarding school, it's not religious but it still has this religious feel.
It's VERY expensive as well
I guess it depends on what sort of person you are but I do not like the collegiatey feel.

Yeah? Well what's Ashburne like in terms of reputation and lifestyle? Ashburne is my other serious interest, I love the idea of being with just girls, it'll be really...girly.

Like a boarding school? Are there curfews? What happens if you try and bring boys back to Ashburne or St. Gabriel's? Is it totally forbidden? If it is then my brothers can't visit.

It's too collegiatey for me, i mean in terms of the eating arrangement etc.
There are no curfews and lads can always stay, they have a bit of a thing goin on with St. Anselms tbh
Lots of people love it here

i'm starting in september, so we'll see! something about ashburne appealed more to me than st.gabs.

in response to somebody who said they didn't like the collegiate style. again, that's more what i wanted than a block of flats.

everybody is different. i'm fairly sure that i will be happy there. but i can understand that there are those who won't be.

From the looks of your signature, you've replied now so you should get your accommodation forms very soon. People only get sent accommodation forms once they have replied to a university as their firm choice (regardless of whether it's conditional or unconditional). Also, since we're talking about Manchester, if you haven't already filled in your accommodation forms, go to the 'open house' day this Sunday (11th March) and you can see all the halls and ask any questions you may have-it's so useful!
