I've never heard of Henry Price being oversubscribed

It didn't used to be that oversubscribed but last year it got more applications than anywhere else! So it's overtaken Dev as the most popular.

Huh? Shoot, and I thought I really had a chance at it. I wonder if I should change my app.

And sorry to hear that, splorgie.

Does anyone know if people with unconditional offers get a better chance of thier top choice of accomodation?

Hmm, not sure about accom at the moment.

I know I want to go catered...I love to cook and all, but I'd only be at the uni for about six months; it would be more convinent and something less to worry about. In that way, I can get to know the city and uni better! :smile:

Seems like Devonshire is quite popular! I really like the sounds of it, looks so pretty, haha. No, it just seems like a cool hall, ideal location and all. Not entirely sure about the other catered halls, as they seem smaller, with exception of Bodington...

so does that mean if it only lists the price for 'standard room' those halls dont have en suits avilable? eg bodington hall?

and are standard rooms or en suit the only options? are there no rooms with a shared bathroom with one other person for example?

On the self-catered front, Henry Price standard rooms have a single bathroom shared between 2 persons. Charles Morris Hall is the catered equivalent. And I'm guessing that if the price doesn't say anything about en-suite rooms, then it's probably not at that accom. As far as I know, Bod Hall is all standard.

Well, it's on campus, so I imagine that it'll be closer to department buildings than most of the other residences which aren't on-campus.

Well I don't know the specifics but if the English/History of Art school is anything like the Business School you'll be having lectures all over campus. The business school is 30 seconds away from Henry Price and that's where I have all my seminars. My lectures are dotted around campus (Ranging from the environment building to the Roger Stevens building which has a lot of lecture theatres) :smile:

You can walk from one side of the University to the other in a good 5-10 minutes so you'll never be far from a lecture/seminar if you stay at Henry Price :wink:

I don't realy mind which halls I end up in, as long as they're fairly close to campus. I was thinking devonshire. My dad was in devonshire :P I'm not sure though.
Definately going self-catered though.

Hello please could someone help me!
I've dropped out of uni in Newcastle (one of the reasons being I was in snobby halls and so didn't mix very well! hehe)
I've come to realise that the "normal" people have standard rooms, none of this en-suite business, and go for cheap accomm :smile:

Anyways, I've been looking at Lupton, Boddington, North Hill Court, and Oxley (because apparently the standard kitchens are shared between 10-15-v sociable!)
Could anyone give me any advice? Or give me a rundown of what each one is like.
That would be much appreciated!!

Is Boddington really too far from campus? I have heard really good reports and bad ones (40 min bus ride to lectures). How far away is it? Do you feel separate from other students?

What about Montague Burton? I don't think it's been mentioned on here much, and it looks ok...
