Ask accommodation

just a word of warning - make sure the dates are after your loan payment dates!

Hi, great thread, really helpful. Whats the difference between a "Shared study area" and a "Shared study bedroom" they seeem exactly the same on the virtual tour website and for that matter the "shared ensuite bathroom" and the "shared ensuite bedroom"?

Also whats the stigma behind the shared ensuites that "ccauses so many headaches" not really considering them but its worth knowing cause i do have friends going and we might be sharing in some capacity.

There is the shared en-suite option as well but that causes so many headaches I can't honestly recommend them.

I just meant when you said this, what is it that causes all the headaches etc ?

Also if you get an ensuite how come it restricts you socialising wise , isnt the only thing thats different is that your room is diffeerent, or are they all separate and away from other rooms? :s

no , thanks joe55 that was helpful appreciate it , still dont quite understand how if you have your own bathroom you dont go out and socialise , like all going out plans are made in the communal bathrooom lol!? (i know its stereotypicallly but still...).

Where are you thinking in terms of accomodation joe?

Sorry, i know this isn't directed at me but i'll give it a go at answering! Normally, 'stereotypically' people with en-suites don't go out or socialise with other people - as they have everything they need in their room. (Although this isn't always the case). The "headaches" with shared ensuites are probably because of: there are only two of you sharing one bathroom, therefore if you fall out with this one other person there could be trouble! Also, if you don't lift/put down the toilet seat etc.....you know who's done it: p therefore it can cause a few arguments whereas if you shared with 6/7 others in normal accommodation you just accept the fact that they will get dirty/grotty quickly and just joke about it!

Hope this helps

Haha, cheers! How long do i have to wait until applying for accommodation? I've tried but it wont' work yet.

I only applied yesterday! So i wasn't exactly expecting to get to choose accommodation straight away! It's working now though Why are Hu Stu and Cavendish in shaded boxes? Does this mean there's no rooms available anymore in them?

I hear you get £4.68 for lunch or something on a meal card. But if you don't spend that all (say on a monday), does the remainder of that money you spent go ontot he next day?
