Who wants to share off-campus accommodation?

Well. We can call both landlords and visit them both.

But, methinks we need to clarify WHO is going. Some people might have found accomodation...

(I think Jackathon might be in... he said something about going to work at 5. So... Hmm.)

This one doesn't sound all that bad.

I'm quite fond of the first one though, since it's so close to campus. :eek:

Reply 64

I'm ringing property 146 but he's engaged atm!

Reply 65

Ok listen to this rubbish! Property 146 is wrong as the lady said Kent has mixed hers up with another property. She said it's a bus ride away so seemed to be thinking i wouldn't like to stay there lol. If anyone has any luck let me know and count me in as i have to go football now but will be back at about half 9, good luck!

I like those ones to be perfectly honest. Should I call them? I don't want to phone only to learn that it's just me who wouldn't mind going there hahaha.

I rang the landlord of 146 and she said that it was gone. I've seen this on the website and although there's no picture it might be worth having a look at

I've just tried but noone is answering. Has anyone rang 48/49/50 yet?

Reply 71

what's the latest guys, i'm just back from footy?

Reply 72

Just got back home. Sorry 'bout that guys.

(I would call them... if I was any good at talking to people on the phone. >.> Hate it.)

But I'll do my part and call 48/49/50.

Reply 73

thanks yawn-er, well i got the same answer to 146 earlier

Reply 74

No-one's picking up for 48/49/50. I'll leave a message with them. See what happens.

Reply 75

Shall we say that by tomorrow evening, maybe 9ish; we make sure we have two or three groups set up or at least enquiring about accommodation as some may still get offers. This might get the ball rolling fairly quickly as it looks like there's some fairly good places but they may be taken as we are looking for somewhere which will take all of us together.

Reply 76

Sounds good... we should probably meet up in Kent with a number of places we want to see on wednesday. The sooner the better.

just to update everyone i'm deffo in for off campus i got an email today saying my application for accommodation had been unsuccessful! i won't be able to look at places but i'm not really in a position to be fussy, i'd rather live in a slightly scabby house than be homeless! although i don't know how everyone else feels but i think it would be a good idea to get somewhere that has an internet connection! a lot of the houses don't have one.
