From what I can tell it does rock year after year. Not many people manage to fail at having a good time at bod.
Sounds good!
Have you lived there?
mistth12
its miles away though :/
yehh i know! im trying to decide if i can deal with the journey...
Elipsis
No, but I did enjoy my halls though (Oxley, not my first choice). My friends lived up there and there is always something going on without failure. Plus the bar there is always worth a visit.
would you reccommend it over oxley?
what was your first choice?
i am doing psychology..
sorry about all the questions hehe
It's a mission to get to and from but everyone I knew who lived there had an awesome time.

I'm in two minds about whether i'd reccomend it over oxley. It's definately a lot bigger than Oxley, and a lot cheaper, so that's a bonus. But Oxley has ensuites which is pretty handy. Of the two i'd say most people would prefer Boddington. You'll be fine doing psychology when you're in Boddington, I think psych is about 10 hours per week?
My first choice was Lupton I think? But I didn't go looking at many halls. I'm glad I didn't end up at Lupton though, that's more like a collection of skanky flats than anything.

Ohh so psychology is a subject without that many hours in lectures etc? Is there a way i can find an example timetable?
So even though it is so far out bodington would still deffinetly be a fun place to live?

Yeah it definately would be a fun place to live. Because you're so far out (4miles+) you get a real sense of community. Don't quote me on this but I think that for psych you'll be in about 10 hours per week, and will generally have at least 1 day off per week. For history I was only in 3-5 hrs per week, so it could be more or it could be less. Generally the more Arts based the subject the less time you'll be in. I dunno where you could find an example timetable though.

I'm at oxley - if I had to go back to halls, though I didn't ask for it first time round, it would be a close call between back to Oxley again or Boddington.
What did you put as your first choice?
So the distance wasn't a problem for you with both being the furthest out accommodations?
Hiya,
Just thought I would comment on this to say EVERYONE GO TO BOD!
I have just completed my first year there and I was President of Bodington. In my opinion, it is by far the best halls. I am not just saying this because I am obviously slightly biased, but it really is. It is extremely sociable, especially if you are catered which I strongly recommend as you get to meet far more people and, in my experience people who were in catered had a much better time than those in self-catered.
Also, Bodington has many of its own events. We had the Bodington Christmas and Easter Balls, which were very successful. Reggie Yates came to the Christmas one and we had Nick Grimshaw at the Easter event!
Finally, please don't let the distance put you off, if anything, it is a bonus! You get to meet lots of people on the bus, again adding to Bod's strong social scene. Also, it's quite nice in the morning to have a bit of a break and chill out before lectures. I also much preferred getting the warm bus back to halls after lectures finished, rather having to walk 30mins in the cold, wet and rain back to another halls.
We also have our own bar! Which is a great start to the night adding to your own pre-lash whilst waiting for the bus. The bar also holds events throughout the year such as a cinema day and open mic nights.
Obviously, go with what you choose, but to be honest, I think Bodington is by far the best halls and i think it will give you the best start in Leeds in your first year as a Fresher
Best of luck with whatever you choose!
