Lancaster University Accommodation

Hiya, could anyone tell me what the bowland standard rooms are like? like how many people share a flat and kitchen etc. Thanks

Bowland Main has about ten to a kitchen, Annexe has about 16/17, ash house I think about the same as Annexe.
Personally, I prefer Annexe to Main, it's quieter, and the furniture in the rooms is nicer. The downside is the bathrooms: they are kind of dark. Main had some nice bathrooms, some not so great, but the kitchens were pretty nice, with enough cupboard space for everyone: I had a big cupboard and two little ones, whereas in Annexe I only have two instead of the three.
Freshers tend not to get put in Annexe, I don't know if they try to keep it quieter for continuers, or if it's just habit. Ash house, i've never actually been in, but my boyfriend lived there in his second year- Apparently it's quite like Annexe, but the rooms are a good bit smaller, kitchens and bathrooms much the same. They have unplastered walls in there, which I don't particularly like. I have known people go back for more than one year in there though, so it can't be that bad!
Sorry, that's probably a very long and confused post... if you need anything clearing up, let me know!

Thanks do you know how many to a bathroom in main? Not liking the idea of unplastered walls :P Are the kithens not crowded in the Annexe with 16/17 people?

There are about 10, or at least in my bathroom. I never had to wait for a shower, or the toilet. And, weirdly, no the kitchens don't get too bad... I'm amazed at how many people can't cook! The y live off noodles and microwave meals- I reckon it must get expensive! There are two ovens/grills, and eight hob rings... two microwaves.... so yeah, it's fine. I've held dinner parties for eight people in there, no problem!

I am quite surprised by that to be honest. Perhaps the four of us in my flat are more in sync or something but we tend to have to wait at least every day or two. It isn't a problem most of the time, it is just like being at home, but we do have to wait.

When can we choose our accommodation? Last I heard we're waiting for a password or something but I've changed my email account since so worry I might have missed something???

Thanks

End of August I think.

What's the day that they kick us out of accomodation? I think I'm on a 42 week let (I'm in Posh Pendle), but I can't remember what date it started on

Thanks.

Basically [considering campus from north to south] you have:

County College, Bowland Collage, [Alex Sq - campus centre], Furness College, Fylde College, Grizedale College, Pendle College, [now off spine and into south-west campus] Lonsdale College, Cartmel College and Graduate College.

Pendle, Grizedale and Fylde are very convenient for things like George Fox and the Info Lab. Bowland and County are very convenient for things the Faraday and Cavendish lecture theatres. Furness is only 5 minutes from the tip of County and the tip of Pendle making nothing very far away. The colleges in south west campus are that little bit further away from everything, especially as there are no teaching facilities down there so you will have about a 5 minute walk to get to the nearest lecture theatres etc. But, campus isn't that big and you can top to toe it in 10/15 minutes so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I was looking at the online brochure and noticed that County have superior standard rooms instead of standard, and it is the only college that offers this...but what exactly are the superior rooms like?

Plus anyone doing geography? or going to do geography?
