    that's bizarre!! It's been working fine... Erm, it is a work in progress so maybe there's something up. You could try this if that link still doesn't work: http://d-mis-web.ana.bris.ac.uk/New%...20Progress.htm

    this is a photo of my room in churchill that is stayed in on my summer school
    it is the new block and so no sinks in roooms but there are 4 bathrooms for a corridor of 6 which is pretty good
    the rooms arnt huge but they are not bad

    sorry the photo isnt the best it is also taken from the corridor so i could fit as much in as i could

    I think 3 or 4 of the blocks are now Non-smoking. if you request non-smoking you should get it.

    I can provide pictures of my HB room if you like, pm me.
    Hiatt Baker Rocks!!!!

    btw, for those who r applying to hiatt baker, try (i mean, urm... just be a bit thick faced), and request for a D block room, since it has new furniture!!!

    A bike would require two things I'm not willing to give,

    - money that can be spent on beer and stuff I don't need
    - exercise

    Solution:

    Steal a tandem, and get someone else to pedal.

    I heard something about bike theft in Bristol being ridiculously common, is this true or just scare tactics?

    I seem to remember hearing something like that too. And was advised only to bring a bike if absolutely necessary.
