    it's gonna be illegal to smoke in there anyway.
    with the smoking ban applying to england too

    But unless there's smoke detectors or snitchy neighbours then you probably don't have to worry.

    Surely the ban on 1st july doesnt cover smoking in your own room?

    Anyway, ill just use an ash tray and hope no one grasses me up.

    Well I applied for a smoking room but when i got my contract through it stated that you are not allowed to smoke in ANY of the accomodation anymore and so if you originally applied for smoking accomodation then it is now non-smoking, I personally think that it is bang out of order if I am paying like 2 grand for my accomodation i should at least be allowed to smoke in my own room as it is not covered by the smoking ban but obviously the uni has other ideas :mad:

    Cant see them enforcing it very well.

    You get notice to inspections, so just tidy up before they come.

    treefriends, that depends completely on what you're looking for.
    Whitendale and Roeburn are about equal in quality, and are the two most popular halls on campus; the only real difference being that Roeburn is en-suite, and Whitendale has the shared bathroom.
    Derwent, Douglas, Ribble and Eden are apparently quite nice, but are smaller and slightly further away from the central campus area, and apparently the traditional halls Blakewater, Brennand, Brock, Brun are less attractive to live in, in terms of decor etc, but they involve a more close-knit community if you prefer that
    I lived in Roeburn for my first year because I didn't want to share a bathroom and I was happy being there, but I know others from Whitendale who preferred sharing and had a fun year there too.
    Hope that helps a bit
    Thank you!!! I really wanna go to UCLan so i've been wondering about halls...
