hunter court is right next to edgbaston cricket ground.... there is a bus abuot every 2 seconds on bristol road to take you to uni...(Original post by Hide)
I got Hunter Hall. Its 3km from the campus, but **** it; Some good drunken hikes back will be sure to turn up many a mini-adventure!
they are nice though, en suite and everything

I haven't heard anything either, and B'Ham was my first choice. Is no news good news? Praying for Jaratt Hall, tho not too sure about the area, any SC accommodation will be fine for me. If I get crap I may decline and save 4k by staying at home.

what i said above is actually slightly wrong. i sent my course confirmation form off today, and so did a friend, but he received his accommodation back a few days ago, so i don't think they're too connected.(Original post by silence)
o i get it now. you need to send back this as12 form (or something like that) to confirm your place before they sort out accommodation. im in another country and my form arrived today (saturday) so i won´t be able to send it back until monday. hope it doesn´t mean that im put to the bottom of the pile in terms of where i stay. -

I went down to Birmingham today with a friend of mine to check the place out (a little off the topic, but its stunning!!) Anyway I spoke to the admissions people about my accom because I sent my form in a month and a half late and they said I would find out by the end of next week! They also said that Jarrat Hall and Elgar Close are full! Also I went to see Victoria Hall, it's so nice but you don't get the whole first year experience! anyone going to Victoria this year or have stayed there can you clue me up?? So stressed, I need good accomodation!!!

it is meant to take between 10-14 days until results are out, but i don't think they'd process the application any faster if you called them up. if you don't hear anything by halfway through next week then you might as well give them a call.(Original post by Victor Meldrew)
I opted for self catering flats but have yet to receive anything
When should I start phoning up etc to find out whats going on? -

Hunter Court is nice, was a regular there last year to see friends. We had plenty of BBQs and frisbie etc. in the courtyard. Also it's a blessing in disguise that you wont be near all your friends. It'll make you get to know the people around you without using your home friends as a crutch. I didn't live on the Vale last year and you don't miss out. You can go to the bars and events etc. like everyone else but you have space to get away from uni and students for a bit.(Original post by jossy)
i got hunter court, but i wanted elgar...and ALL my friends are in tennis court or maple bank....quite upset that i'm not on the vale, will it make a difference????? is it hard to get to tennis court to see everyone??? also is hunter court nice??? -

budget about 30 mins for a walk between the two places. it's more or less up one road (priory road if you are interested) but that is a big hill(Original post by jossy)
