Where are Derby University students living in 2013/14?

Hi all,

If you are a Derby University student I wondered what your accommodation plans are for the 2013/14 academic year?

Are you staying in University Halls? Are you going into private student houses? Are you staying at home and commuting?

Who is still looking for accommodation for next year?

Your help would be appreciated! :smile:

Many thanks, Bel

I haven't booked yet but will do on the next week or so ... Erm rooms are from £99 all ensuite .. The more people you share with the cheaper the price .. If you google Darley bank derby you can get accurate prices .. But I think it's definitely worth the money

Yeah halls will probably be cheaper but think of the pluses
-bigger ensuite instead a space shuttle
-brand new - so we'll be the first people to live/eat/sleep in the rooms ..
But at the end of the day it's your decision..

What will you be studying??

No idea which halls to pick! Darley Bank looks nice, but the £99 a week is for 50 weeks which is silly! Any one recommend any?
I'm picking Nunnery Court or St Christopher's, mainly because they are close to my campus. :smile:)
