Hey! I'd just like to tell you guys not to worry about your accommodation too much and not to stress when you get a place you didnt really want. I applied to goldney, durdum, hawthorns and some others and didnt get any of them, I ended up in a student house, 115 Queens Road. We've had so many problems this yr, rubbish cleaners who yelled at us, one of our fridges turning into a freezer, showers blocking and water heating thingy for shower broken for 4 days, kitchen sinks blocking, no lift, thin walls, no common room,people in the union can see into your room, the list goes on and on. But the I've had a good time, its in a brilliant location and the rooms are big and have huge windows and its cheap, I'll be sorry to leave! The only thing which I think would make a difference is if there was a bar or common room! Basically what I'm saying is that your accommodation is what you make it!
P.S I've heard a rumour that if you put down that you do photography you get in to Goldney, probably untrue but worth a try id say!
