Leicester accomodation

Hi quick question
are people in catered halls bringing any pans/cooking utensils with them? I know i'll be catered for everyday but I'm thinking of those random times when I feel like making something, but then I don't want to bring loads for it never to be used?

I'm catered too- obviously we don't get Lunch. Now, I know that catered flats do have a little baby kitchen, so I'm going to bring the basic basics- probably:

saucepan
frying pan
sieve
plates (x3)
bowls (x3)
Cutlery set
Tea towel
wooden spoon
lots and lots of super noodles chicken flavour!

Anyone know what Rosenfels House is like? How its set out etcc.. i'm in a premium single there so was wondering how many people id be living with and what my room would be like before i accept my offer...

I didn't put Mary Gee Houses as one of my choices and I was accepted there. Is Mary Gee Houses really that bad? How many rooms are there on a floor? How many people share a toilet/kitchen?

I'm in the same boat, and so are alot of others, but everyone seems really nice there! Theres 10 people in the house, with a toilet and a shower room on the bottom floor, kitchen and laundry on the middle floor, and a toilet and a shower on the top floor. 4 people on the top, 2 in the middle, 4 on the bottom.
What block are you in =] ?

i'm in block bb and i havent accepted it yet.. the accommodation office also asked gave me 24 hours to put in a transfer for available rooms at The Grange. I'm in a dilemma. With 2 hours left to decide

I'm in Nixon, Block H, any neighbours???

I'm considering accommodation on filbert street. Opal court was too expensive for an en suite. Anyone else looking at private accommodation ??

I'm in Nixon, Block H, any neighbours???

surely being in halls outweighs having an ensuite away from everyone?

Away from some I guess but all I had been offered was somewhere in nixon court. I still have my options anyway and I've been told that many uol freshers have bought the rooms in Filbert street

Its often a mix. In my 2nd year I lived with another 2nd year (my best friend- I reqested to live with her in The Beeches) and the rest were 1st years who had taken a gap year. In my 3rd year I lived with another 3rd year girl, a 2nd year girl (who had stayed on from the year before). The rest were 1st years. It was wonderful socially in the 2nd year- I couldn't have asked for a better time. In 3rd year it was a bit different and I didn't really mix with the boys downstairs much and neither did the other girls. That could have partly been because of us being 3rd years and having more work and pressure etc to do, I'm not sure, or maybe I was just exceptionally lucky with a great group of guys in my 2nd year. I wouldn't worry about it not being in a block at all. After all, in the main JoFo pavillions, people only tend to socialise with their small flat of about 5/6 people from what I've heard.


Room 12 is a decent size- I don't have any pictures at all of that room, sorry. The only annoying thing about it is its a bit of an awkward shape- quite long and narrow but its nice enough. Its next to the bathroom and opposite the kitchen.

someone just posted on that page about private accomodation with an ensuite!

Does room 12 have a washbasin like yours? and are there only 3 rooms on the second floor? Just wondering if there could possibly be more girls on that floor. Thanks for you help! much appreciated

Yeah, all the rooms have a sink.

No, just three girls. Technically there is another spare room next to yours but its not occupied by anyone. When I was there it had a large table and chairs in. Nobody really used it that much- during exam period I overtook it as my 'office' and spent all day revising in there.

On the 1st floor (2nd floor to you in the US ) there is also the subwarden's room who is in charge of the house. No idea if it will be the same guy as I had- he's a 5th medic called James if he is.
