Applied for accommodation two days ago, just got my offer in, large single study in Florence Boot - holla if you're in the same boat as me!

My girlfriend got put into Nightingale last week too and it means she's only down the road, super exciting times!!

It's really nice that you're coming to uni together :smile:

FloBo is lovely, you look over gardens on one side and towards the lake on the other.

More stuff I keep remembering...
- Your uni card gets you into your hall (some halls have keyed doors too, but many have a card scanner at the entrance) as well as the libraries (there are several - Hallward is the big one in the middle of campus, George Green is the science library, Greenfield in the med school...), and is also your lunch card
- There are lockable bike sheds in each hall, you just pay a small (~£10) deposit for the key; there are also bike stands pretty much everywhere on campus. Bring lights, security will slap you with a £200 fine for riding at night without lights!
- Campus 14; Mooch, The Den, 12 hall bars - one drink at each. You have three hours. Good luck brave adventurer :wink:

You'll end up doing this at least once, it's hilarious :biggrin:

Rutland, En suite
I haven't confirmed yet though! Does anyone know anything about what Rutland's like???

I think Rutland's actually the hall that get's the most "banter" aimed at it, I've heard about chants like "Rutland take it up the arse" because it used to be an all-boys hall or something? Haha! Don't let that put you off though, it seems like a really social hall :smile:

Yeah man it really is, at the moment it's LDR so being a few minutes apart will be brilliant haha! Had a look around Florence Boot when I visited last week as our campus tour guide was there for her first year, seems really, really nice so chuffed with that offer!

Haha I've heard many stories from Campus 14, looking forward to the challenge...

Basically, Rutland always do really well in the Karni Cup (the charity fundraising competition), and rumour has it that they have rich alumni making donations... :wink:

They're kind of the hall everyone jokingly loves to hate lol. It's all good natured, and everyone takes the mick out of each other anyway (you'll learn the chants during freshers week :wink2:

Hey guys, current 1st year student living on University Park here - if you've got any questions about life in halls, feel free to ask! I'm in Sherwood by the way :smile:

Hey alex193, I just got an offer for a single study room in Willoughby halls. I have to be honest, I wasn't too happy with the offer as I wanted to be at the bottom of the downs and because Willoughby seems to be have quite a few 'lads' and bimbos living there; so I was just wondering whether you know anything about Willoughby (good or bad!)? I'd rather know the about it, even if it's not encouraging, so I can prepare myself :smile:

thank you for all the info you've already posted on this thread!

Well, every hall has a mixture of people - you're all randomly allocated, so there's always going to be a mixture of personalities! University is a little microcosm of society and it'd get very boring if we were all grouped by personalities, but on the whole everyone seems to get along really well. I've got some lovely friends from Wills, and they're both enjoying living there. Wills is single-gender floors (I think! Certainly my friends are all on girls-only floors) so you'll probably be living with lots of other girls, which takes the 'lads' out of the equation :smile:

As for the downs, you can still walk across them to get to most places, but trust me, you'll get fed up with that hill quicker than you'd expect :wink:

Willoughby is in a pretty good position. Located near FloBo, Cavendish and Ancaster and a nice 10 min walk to Portland. It has a large Mix bar which serves food at lunch times. Don't worry about the people you'll be with! The allocation of halls is completely random so you should have a good mix of different types. The university stopped allowing you to choose your hall a few years ago for exactly this reason as certain halls seemed to attract particular types. Eg Cripps and Hugh Stewart had more students from private schools.

My boyfriend's in Willoughby atm. It's alright! Not one of the prettiest halls I don't think but it's not bad (in my opinion)
