Leicester accomodation

cheers, i already have a digitial passport photo stored on my pc which has been used for driving licenses etc.. uploaded it and it told me my upload was successful and they'll email me if there's something wrong with the photo. So i clicked next and then it takes me to the page where i have to upload the photo again, wtf?

Does anyone know the reason why guests are not allowed at all in catered accommodation?

Aren't they? If this is a rule no one pays any attention to it, plenty of people have bfs/gfs there regularly and quite a few will have a number of mates from home for something like their bday.

You can't get them a meal though, you need a JCR card for that.

Are there lifts in halls? I'm on the fourth floor of Ragdale if that makes a difference. I'm just thinking about how awkward it would be to move all my stuff in if I have to go up and down stairs though I'm sure I'd manage nonetheless haha.

There was a lift in the hall I saw so I'm guessing there is in all of them

Thanks Do you know if we need to bring:
- Iron
- Ironing board
- Washing powder/liquid for laundry
- Toilet paper?

I know the ensuite rooms get cleaned once a fortnight...are they hoovered? Or are only the bathrooms cleaned? I hoover my bedroom at home at least once a week because I practically molt....

Also are there kettles/microwaves/toasters supplied in the kitchens of catered accommodation?

There was definitely an ironing board and hoover (my mum says there was an iron too), but I'm not quite sure about the washing powder/detergent and toilet paper, but I'm going to ring tomorrow so I could ask them all of this. Also on the FAQ thing it says that the fortnightly clean is mainly for your bathroom (so we clean the rest) and "Public areas are to be kept clean and tidy by all residents. You will be assisted by domestic staff on a once a week basis." I'm guessing by public areas they mean the kitchen/lounge area right?

Ah okay, that makes me feel better It's in the FAQ on the website, they've got some pretty blunt answers! Would you be able to tell me whether it's just the canteen at JF where you can eat or are you able to around the uni campus too??

Can anyone tell me how much stock you should put on reputation by halls?

People seem to say GMS is a total party hall, JoFo is less social, and Beaumont somewhere in between. Tbh i'll be fine if GMS is a total mash-up depending on who i meet, but from people's descriptions beaumont sounds more me.

I'd assume it might turn into a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy if people look up what people have said and choose by reputation.

Not a huge amount. You can end up with a totally anti social block in Lasdun and have a block of party animals in JoFo, it depends on the people in them. The reputations make certain situations more likely in each hall but hardly guaranteed.

You've essentially guaranteed in my head that Beaumont Block 7 is to be crazyyy from what you've said to me before. Your head is on the line mate!

Hello guys,

So I got my unconditional offer for my postgraduate Marketing course and I am about to submit my accommodation application.

I would prefer an ensuite room (standard+ or premium) so my choices (based on price) are:

1.Opal Court (Standard + Ensuite) £118.37
2.The Grange (Premium Ensuite) £124.60
3.Opal Court (Premium Ensuite)£129.50

While I'm pretty sure about my 1st choice i would like additional info about The Grange. Is it popular among postgrad students like opal court or not?

So are my choices correct? I am also aware that i cannot apply for Standard Ensuite Room in Nixon Court because those are mainly served for students with health problems.

And what about The Summit? Is it available for University Of Leicester students?

Thanks in advance!

Cu around!
