University of Leeds Acommodation Questions

Any opinions on Henry Price, Central Village, James Baillie or Leodis?(other than being massively oversubscribed)
Taking Business, and looking for fairly social en-suite accommodation!

Anyone have any opinion of which is the most sociable accommodation?

Lots are very social it depends on your other requirements like en-suite/distance to uni. Most ppl would probs say James Baille but it’s quite oversubscribed and imo there are better alternatives

Any opinions on Charles Morris? I applied there but got an email a few days ago saying there won't be catering services there this year. I've read that its one of the most sociable but I am wondering if catering services are a part of what made it so sociable and now that there is no catering it might be less sociable this year?

*also I don't really have any other requirements just don't want to end up in a dead accommodation where no one speaks

Wait how will that work if they’re not providing catering there this year? Do the flats still have kitchens even though it’s catered, idk why i just kind of assumed they wouldn’t have as good kitchen facilities. Or have they done them out so they’re permanently self catered?

(Haven’t actually applies there or anything just being nosey😬)

Hi, I got my offer of accommodation today at Devonshire Hall, which is the absolute last place I wanted. I applied for James Baillie and I'm really peeved I didn't get it. I was wondering, would anyone want to swap with me? My accommodation is I think £124p/w (rough maths as it gave me a lump sum for the whole year), self-catered and in North Lawn block J. I'm looking for anywhere under £130p/w and self-catered.

Also, I actually have no clue how to swap with somebody- getting it through to the uni and stuff and getting it officially sorted, so if anyone who has done it knows please tell me!

That's well annoying, I applied to devonshire hall and didn't get it! They gave me oxley so i'd be keen to swap x

That’s crazy, i’ve got devonshire and didn’t apply there either, literally no one i know who’s got there applied there.

Same with oxley, it just seems totally random? Seems like only henry price or james baille people got want they wanted

Has anyone lived in iQ on Cross Chancellor street and have any insight?

Obviously I don't know how things are going to differ with covid but in past years transfers have to be done via the university system. You can sort it out with the person beforehand but you need to go through the university processes for it to be legit. Usually the process doesn't open until a few weeks into the start of term to give you time to settle in and make sure it's what you want to do (most people decide to stay because they grow to love it/the people!).

If it is what you want you need to fill out forms and stuff with the uni to tell them you want to swap/move and hopefully they should give you information from there. If the move/swap is successful they will charge you (about £50 I think?) in admin fees.

I haven't been able to find the Web page explaining swaps but here is the page explaining moves to a vacant room which you may also want to consider: https://accommodation.leeds.ac.uk/info/36/transfers_and_leaving/57/transfer_to_a_vacant_room

Hope this has helped any!
