Im looking to apply at those accommodations as well and was wondering the same question haha, I went to one of the open days and I like the layout of wallscourt more than the student village accommodation but worried it won't be as lively??

I’m going to be at Frenchay too and will probably apply for SV and Wallscourt 😊 Couldn’t think of anything worse than having to travel to uni, I’m really into partying and going out so it’s just what you make it I guess, you will make loads of friends and Wallscourt is quite big flats from what I understand of up to 12 people so going out/parties you will be with lots of other people 😊

Hey! I’m in a ‘similar boat’ at the minute as UWE is my main and insurance choice on UCAS, so I’m hopefully going UWE regardless of my results! Basically, I’ve spoke to various students form open days and applicant days, aswell as personal friends and everyone’s said that Wallscourt seems to be the most socially active. Apparently, this is because Wallscourt is predominately ‘Townhouse’ accommodation so there’s more numbers in each house. I obviously haven’t experienced it yet, but I think that’s what I’m gonna go for! Like I say, this is just personal information which I’ve gathered from others and thought it was worth sharing :-)

Yeah walscourt is good. Quiet too unless theres someone outside being d*$k haha. Door on the first floor are very loud and annoying when they shut and so are all doors on top floors as they are heavy. Living with 7/11 other people is not that great. But at least you share a bathroom with one other person. I got unlucky there too😂. There are 2 laundry areas one is closer to the flat part of wallscourt. Yes wallscourt also has flats not sure what the layout there is. If you got anymore questions about uni hit me up :smile:

I have a friend who lived on Frenchay last year, she said it was very lively and that she went out all the time (which was a relief for me!) and also said the SU do loads that perhaps City Centre people may have missed out on. She said transport is also good. Considering she only lived there last year I’m taking her word for it! 😂

Hmm yeah I guess so - I don’t think they’re a great deal more expensive though, but I guess that depends how much you like your comforts haha!
