Leicester accomodation

Original post by roh

Both will be in separate houses dotted around the grounds so very similar can't think of any major differencees.

Thanks! Went for Beaumont in the end. Just submitted the application now, I hope I'll hear back soon!

Hello! I was actually thinking about JoFo myself! Hopefully I'll get that or something close to it! Student ID in the email? I'm sorry I must be blind but I can't see it anywhere in my offer email.. where should it be? thanks!

It should be at the top of your email along with your UCAS ID number? it might be on the email that leicester send to you after you confirm the offer?

Apologies in advance if this is a repetitive question, but I've gone through this whole thread and still have a few questions.

Situation: I'm an international student who holds an unconditional offer. I'd like a single room with my own bathroom. Laundry onsite. Preferably on campus (or near it /10 minute walk the max). Also not to far from local amenities (i.e. supermarket, doctors office, bank etc etc)

I assumed Nixon Court/Opal court would be the common answer but I read in the thread that you need to pay for your internet usage in this one?

Thank you!

The link on accommodation says it's only Opal and The Grange where you have to pay for internet. Opal varies from 150-480 depending how many meg you want.

Ahh, I see. Thank you for that clarification.

So just to reiterate, Nixon/Opal are the closest residence areas to campus and are self-catered?

Yeah Opal and Nixon are both about 5 mins walk from campus and all self catered.

Self catered single bedroom?

It's just behind the new quad and backs on to the Botanical Gardens which is nice. All girls and not many in there (6 maybe?) so creates a nice atmosphere not dissimilar to a house in second year (according to someone I know who lived there).

Ahh brilliant, thanks. Beaumont was my first choice so I'm pretty pleased.

Quick question.

For standard single, it says on the site: single room with no washbasin or small single room with washbasin.

Is there any way to know which you'll get or is it just luck :/

Sounds like just pot luck, guessing they figure having the washbasin helps to compensate for the fact the room will be an absolute cupboard (and sauna in the case of the one in Beaumont above the laundrette) and you take your chances.

If you want the washbasin, and it is indeed handy for brushing your teeth and stuff, the extra 8 quid a week isn't too painful.

In my accommodation offer it says that the start date of the contract is September 30th so I guess that's the date! but I could be wrong..

You move in at some point over the weekend prior to Freshers' (first Monday of October whenever that is this year).

It's staggered according to whether you're catered or self catered and your place in the alphabet so you'll get the exact day and time slot towards the end of August.

So is it the nearer to the end of the alphabet your surname is, the later you will be moving in?
