University of Leeds Accomodation 2011

JB is full of girls? The sentinel is for them as well and also Business students who might be in even less, I'm doing engineering and i'm only in for 2 and a half days so i really wouldn't worry, they do the matching up thing to make sure it turns out right


Girls are good but the whole of leeds uni is more girls than boys :60:40, so JB might not be worth the risk, if i'm stuck with guys mainly i'll simply asked to be moved or something.

I hope so! then start budgeting and sort out other things

I couldn't make the visit day on Saturday. But I think the Tannery looks SO nice! It even has double beds Kind of confused why not many people are talking about it :/ hope there isnt a catch. What was the journey to Uni like? Any buses for the freezing Leeds winters :s?

Sorry if some of this has been asked I can't keep up with this thread

lol, that's one of the things that converted me, plus the common room....assuming it really looks like that.
My course is gonna be like 80% guys, i like a fair mix, so accom's gonna have to make up for it. It is very close to lots of accommodation for leeds met students and a big bar, few mins walk from city centre too so...

I'm used to waiting, for medicine it's the norm to wait for 5months, i apply in october and the earliest decision is in february, the last 3 were mid march =.=
I only applied the friday before the last so....Once again getting excited for un

Thanks so much 'PhilosophyIsMyGame' and 'dmz'. This is SO unrelated to accomodation however, since you are so kindly replying to questions... Are there any fit/hot guys at Leeds? lol Thanks

Haha yeah! Wherever you go its going to be good anyway! Haha, you will meet plently of girl if its 60:40

Eek, i know i just got my declaration for my student finance ect so ive just been working out how much i will have a week without a job and its looking pretty promising! So im at ease with the money situation.. i know i wont starve haha!

The common room does NOT look like that, the website is really mis-leading! When I went it looked kinda shabby and was cold.
I really didn't like the Tannery when I went, the people showing you round weren't very helpful and the bathrooms were tiny!
But then again double beds and newly refurbished bedrooms are very appealing... the bathrooms are like little pods
Also there were no recycling bins in the kitchens! I don't know if you're a big environmentalist but that proper narked me ahah
On the social side all I found out was some people for sentinel towers use the common room, so lots of international and post-grad students in there
However! the tannery did have a Nisa, which very nearly persuaded me ahah
good luck deciding

Has anyone actually done the accomodation application thing yet?

Do you seriously have the slytherin crest instead of the leeds crest?....
YOU F**KIN LEGEND !!!! THAT LOOKS EPIC !!!!,
Too bad i'm a dental student, otherwise you know...there would've been of that sig in my sig too with permission ofc....

I'm an average looking guy so i hope not

Lots of hot girls so they must be after something, lol


I'm actually fairly excited now!

think i'm getting minimum and i'm barely middle class (i think my parents are screwing me) hopefully i'd have saved up enough by summer but it doesn't look like it'll be an issue for now Most of my budget will be for food, lol

I'm in North Hill Court atm if anyone wants any info/pictures then I'm here to help!

I have

Haha, i seen LOTS of good looking boys i must admit

Yeah i get average, but my mum has been saving money since forever, for me to go to uni since im an only child haha! So i have enough to get me through uni and probably more!
Yeahh! Food is most important of course!

One of the few who noticed! Thank you!
It seems we'll be sharing the same building. You could always use a similar sig, but with BChD instead.

Does it take long? I think I'm gonna put JB but I can't figure out whether I can afford it or not haha

Thinking of putting it down would prefer James Baille or Henry Price but they are oversubscribed and dont want to risk being put somewhere I didnt choose

How long does it take a quickish walker to get to where that big library bit is?
Some people are put off by there being so few people is that okay? do you socialise people from accomodation nearby?

Thanks in advance

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST MADE MY MIND UP! Thanks though ,

where else did you go that you can compare it with? It was cold in the rooms or...?
Around what time did you go? I had same reception at JB and Leodis but they were bored of their heads already cos it was about 4.
Bedroom counts a lot more than bathroom cos i'm not in there too often, as long as they have hot water and don't look dirty and gringe-like?
I'm not an environmentalist but i understand your concern. Were the rooms newer looking than JB?

Also it's 10mins walk from city centre, 20 max from uni, and 10 from where i wanna work
Damn!!

well i'm probably good looking when the girls are drunk

I have like two brothers both going to uni next year so it might get hard for my parents, plus i hate asking people/parent for money
Oh right, i have my child benefit from when i was 13 but i think my mum recently blew it on a new car so i've got that on her not sure if used mine or not . Aiming for 5K to save up and i'm supposed to get 1500 from uni in Jan.

No, it took me about 15 minutes but i think its because i was paranoid reading the same questions about 10 times over haha!
Yeah it is pretty expensive! Did you go to the accommodation open day? James Baillie is VERY different in life then it is on the website i thought anyway
