avon way house

A 48 week tenancy. from £89.50 a week. They aren't en-suite, but have parking for your car. 15 min walk from campus, a shared kitchen and common room. I think there are up to 6 people per a flat, and always a mix. Sky in the common rooms from 2011. The rooms here are nicer than forest road house.

Forest road house
6 rooms to a flat, some flats are en-suite, but cost more.

the room types are:
Single Room
Single Room with en suite Bathroom (Toilet and Shower)
Double Room with en suite Bathroom (Toilet and Shower)
Single Room. Flat Includes Communal Lounge.

Parking on site, and bicycle storage. The cleaners do clean, but won't be doing your washing up. A mix of students and years.Rent (in 2010) ranged from £280.00-£450.00pm. 20 min from campus in greenstead. It's an 11 month contract, and you can arrange to have virgin installed apparently

Greenstead house.

It's awful, dark, dingy, 20 seconds from tescos and has parking. 15 min from campus, flats take 5-6 people.
£320.00-£450.00pm

room options are:
Single Room
Single Room with en suite Bathroom (Toilet and Shower)
Bigger Single Room with en suite Bathroom (Toilet and Shower)
Double Room with en suite Bathroom (Toilet and Shower)

Right on the bus route, so you can get a bus to and from campus, which is more than you can do with the other houses. 11 month contract.

All 3 come with internet and bills included.



----I will point out, i get less coherent with lack of sleep... therefore what i've written may make even less sense than normal :tongue:

for someone who likes to go to bed at ten and get up at 7... its late. But don't need to do anything tomorrow until midday so its not too bad.

I'm debating finishing off the pasta bake i had for tea.... my fridge has loads of food i should probably eat at somepoint.

which ready meal?

I don't know. Some sort of curry. I don't want it but am reasonably hungry and other options are takeaway or make some pasta and sauce which is effort.
have a drink instead? pasta is hardly effort? its easier than a jacket potato.
