Accomodation - ensuite + self catered

Imo1991

Daaaaamn...sorry I have nothing against people who smoke at all...like some of my friends smoke and it's all fine...but I dunno if I could live with a year of the smell of smoke...lol!..! And also It thought that with all the governments 'anti smoking campaigns' alot of the uni's would ban smoking on campus

You know that people can only smoke in their rooms in St Germans right? So I doubt the smell is going to affect you that much apart from wafting into the corridor a little. They can't smoke in the kitchen/living area or anything. I expect its the same for Northfield.

Yeah I know they can only smoke in their rooms but if someone has been smoking in my room before then it might smell a bit. But I suppose it will have had the whole of summer to air out so hopefully it would of gone by then....!

The rooms get cleaned from top to bottom, it WON'T smell of smoke.

I also lived in St G's and agree totally with lmcorr. Don't do it!! I also lived in Lafrowda and thought it was ace :biggrin:

Have you also looked into St Davids? It isn't ensuite but it's lovely and the right side of campus (though it is off campus) for Washington Singer :smile:

St Davids looks nice, how long do you think it would take to walk to Washingon Singer from there?

Not long...sophisticated's estimation is probably quite accurate.

Okay cool thanks. Do you think it's closer than Northfield? And is St.Davids run by the uni or run by UNITE?

St Davids is not closer than Northfield (Northfield is slightly further up the hill) but St D's is run by the Uni yes.

I am currently looking at accomodation for 2009, I know I want to go into self catered but I am just wondering why everyone is so against St Germans is it the cost, the reputation (i.e. is it full of 'rahs) or is it simply the buildings. Because when I saw Lafrowda it didn't look as nice as St G's!
