    Your rooms aren't though.

    Matt - nice room! I'm liking the mat and the lamps - very smooth.
    Why thankyou! Enjoy the January ski-slopes...

    There's a picture of a Hawthrons toilet with a bath tub in the houses website. Is this true?? Or it's just a picture to lure students to the hawthrons?

    Re: Hall pictures anyone???
    This thread was started last year and I think it's time to revive it since people have been asking for hall pictures.

    There are two pics I took of Wills last the year. It may have changed a little since then - I heard they were doing some improvements.

    Pic one is the old quad, pic 2 the new. Wills is noted for its light and airy rooms, superb air conditioning (it sounds silly but it’s a welcome luxury in the summer) and it's charming ambience.

    Many of the other residences, like Wills, have their own distinctive elegance - they’re all worth a look.

    Can't speak for everyone, but a friend of mine who lived in the Hawthorns last year had an en suite complete with bath

    This site has some panorama views of rooms, dining halls, gardens etc. of some of the halls. Worth a look if you can get java to work!

    I've reported your post to the mods, so hopefully one of them will sticky it for you.

    (Not really what the report button is for, but it's probably the quickest way!)

    hey, could anybody possibly give me any additional information on Hawthorns, Winkworth and Woodland Court? I'm interested in the accomodation within or near Precint & en suite is a must.

    Pictures would be great too. thanks!

    One thing you might want to know is that unlike Woodland Court and Winky, The Hawthorns isn't exclusively en suite and also (i think) has some shared rooms. Only a couple of the people I know that live there have en suite but that might not be representative of the whole accomodation. Aside from that, all 3 are great, you can't underestimate the benefits of being near the uni.

    I know people keep asking for this, but I havn't seen any appear. Does anyone have any pictures of anything and everything at either Manor Hall or Goldney Hall. I'm more interested in Manor Hall, but either would do.

    Thankyou in advance.

    This site has pictures of Goldney (courtyard, bedroom, kitchen, music room). Sorry no Manor! I'll see what I can do! You tried their website?
