Who's laughing now??!! [Maple Bank]

Just wanted to say that Maple Bank is no longer the scum of the earth. On wednesday i moved into refurbished maple bank. they are refurbishing it block by block, I presume that it's going to be all finished by septmeber, but we are the first block to move anyway, and its lovely!! It's just like ikea world!! We also now have 2 toilets!! (one in main bathroom and one separate), lovely new furniture in the bedrooms, a huge desk, new carpets etc, new kitchen units, new cooker, HUGE freezer, 2 fridges, a breakfast bar, stools, sofa......I am very happy!! and we are still paying the same rent!

hehehehehehehehehe (me laughing)

I suspect that the rent will rise somewhat for next year's intake though!

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know!! :-)

Rooms are a similar size to those in Tennis Court- I think that the kitchen/lounge in some bits of tennis court (centre court) are bigger but the actual bedrooms are the same, if not slightly bigger. Elgar court wins hands down for size tho- its huge!!

I would really advise you to go to the accomodation open day and have a good look round them all!!
