Cavendish Halls

I haven't got my hall yet, but I'd say if you wanna move just go for it sooner rather than later! But I'm sure whatever hall you'll end up in you'll make loads of friends in..


When did your accomm offer come through btw?

It came through today at like 1, you're probably right and I'll probably stay with it, just wanted to know other peoples opinions See you in september!

I got my offer for cavendish halls today too!

Hey! I'm currently a student at Nottingham Uni! I've got a friend at Cavendish Hall and honestly, its not as bad as people think. Unless you're really unhappy with it, I'd stick with it if I were you as there's plenty of halls which are much worse than Cavendish and the last thing you'd want is to end up in one of those :3

Why has Cavendish got such a bad reputation?

I got an offer for an en suite room at Cavendish too! I accepted it.

My friend put me in contact with someone she knew who stayed there, so I'll summarise what she said about it:

"Its 99% ensuite rooms and while its maybe not the prettiest hall from the outside, it has some of the biggest rooms of all the halls which is nice! Its on the West side of campus, right next door to the Humanities building and about 5-10 mins walk from the Trent building, so nice and close for seminars in Trent! It also has a cafe which is good as not all halls do - it means you don't have to leave your hall for lunch if you don't want to! It doesn't have a bar, but Willoughby hall which is 2 mins away does. Cavendish is a pretty big hall so there will be lots of people in it."

She said she was happy there so I'm feeling positive about it!

She told me to feel free to ask her more questions, so if anyone has any I can ask her and post the answer here

Thank you, I'm pretty excited now! What will you be studying?

English with Creative Writing, how about you?

Ooh nice, I'm completely different I'm doing Geography Bsc, it's gonna be so great meeting people doing such different subjects to me, idk I find that interesting

Cavendish for History - so glad, since it's right next door to the history department, and it's mostly en suite. I'd heard bad things as well, but this thread's made it not quite so bad

Cool! Yeah this has definitely reassured me, also I saw your post about the lgbt thing and i agree it's also something i've realised, some people just don't really accept bisexually as a legitimate thing it's really frustrating sometimes :/ Hopefully it will be okay!
