UEA Accommodation

We are doing some more allocations today. Hopefully yours will be in this batch!

I kinda thought I'll ask as I'm used to sneaking kettles in my room to avoid waking people at night- but I guess at uni its set out like a house ( I'm strictly a bungalow man - stairs are gonna be so fun!)

Hardly brought anything yet- I wrote up a massive list thats all over the place and working our way through it. Got sidetracked buying kitchen stuff- and came home with a smoothie maker ( Tesco's clubcard point scheme FTW), which could also be used for cocktails(alternative uses are my forte). Still have my utensils and a frying pan.


What saucepans is it advisable to buy?

Depends where you're staying, cause as far as I recall, in the village the rooms and kitchen are on the same floor. Constable Terrace and Nelson Court have stairs between the kitchen and bedrooms though.

Haha I need to make a utensils list of things I want/need. Infact, I'm about to start it now...

And errm what do you mean what saucepans? I didn't realise there were different kinds.....

EDIT: Although according to UEA up there ^^ you are allowed kettles in your room.

Allowed is a bit of a misquote to be honest. Let's just say we don't really tell you that you have to put them in the kitchen...!

Constable Terrace

Staying there so stairs it is. I doubt it'll wake anyone.

And different sizes of saucepans- preferably want to get at least 1- and use it as extra storage. My kitche list started off being bullet points and morphed into some crazy mindmap.


LOL UEAAccommodation- love how it seems you/they understand student needs.

What you need to do is sort out how you are going to pay within the first 28 days of your accommodation licence. You can do this either online on your UEA E-vision account or in person at the finance office in the registry building. Please don't come to the accommodation office to do this - we spend an awful lot of time in the first couple of weeks sending people to the registry since we don't take any money here!

There are 3 ways to pay for your room:

1. All in one go within 28 days.
2. In three equal termly installments (to get this figure just divide the total amount we quoted you by 3)
3. In around 8 installments monthly by direct debit. We don't start taking this until about November and the payments will run until June. This is not a "monthly" rental charge but the total amount divided by 8.

Its the same cost no matter which option you choose. We offer these option becuase we know that you all get funded in different ways.

Don't worry you will have plenty of time to arrange setting the payments up after you arrive. You don't need to be sorting it out now since we don't take any form of deposit on the accommodation.

Thanks for this!! It's very helpful I'm not worrying about paying, I just want to have some idea of how it works so I can have some idea of what's going to be coming in and going out and when!

Oh I see. I'm probably going to get one small, one medium tbh. Haven't decided yet. And ahh I'm in the village, so no stairs for me

No stairs but the walk to campus makes up for it
Thats UEA looking our for its students fitness

In the village do you have combi microwaves- spent nearly an hour trying to find out whats allowed to be put in them. Have visions of blowing up the kitchen on the first day

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me!

My boyfriend has just received his accomodation offer and has been allocated Norfolk Terrace Standard Twin. I am guessed that this is a shared room? He is panicking a bit because shared was his last choice, and he really doesn't want to share! What can we doooo?! Too late to call UEA (even if they would do anything?) because they sent the offer at 17:15 on a Friday evening!!! GRRR!!! So now we have to wait until monday

What are the Twin rooms like? Are they def shared? And is there any way that he could change rooms??

Thank you

I've just had the exact same so he's probably with me lol. I wanted Norfolk Terrace but single, suppose I'll just have to live with it. It's cheaper which is one positive

True, it is cheaper I suppose He's in NT C-Block, are you?
