Lenton & Wortley 2013/14

Shared Bedroom for me I hope this thread will make meeting people easier because I haven't met very many people staying at Lenton & Wortley. I'll be studying biochemistry and molecular medicine by the way

I'm in a single study and I'll be studying Maths!

I don't think it's too far away from Maths. Not too fussed, Nottingham has a really awesome campus.

I haven't seen Lenton and Wortley either. Looks pretty great on the pictures I've seen, which isn't really many.

Looking forward to it!

I just had a look of this map of University Park and if it's correct then you will be taking the same route as me as the Maths building is close to the Psychology building

Me too! I have heard they have really good fresher parties throughout the year

Great subjects! Are you both going to be very far away from your subject buildings at L&W?

Jack, what made you opt for a shared bedroom? Lets hope you get a good room mate! Also, I haven't met many others with offers from L&W either but I hope this thread can bring people together and at least by the time we go we will probably know someone or we can all meet

Also, if you haven't guessed by my username, I'm Emily and I will be studying Psychology. I have an offer of a private shared bathroom at L&W from a second random allocation. L&W is a wild card for me as I haven't visited it at open days but from what I have gathered it seems great and apparently (from reading old threads) the Warden is a really nice chap

Biochemistry is mostly taught in the medical school so it is relatively close I'm just upset that it is a bit of a walk from the gym I went for the shared bedroom cause it was the cheapest and my maintenance grant pays for most of it and also I see it as sharing with my future best friend

I was also hoping to get some sort of gathering going before we all start

I noticed it was quite close to the medical school Aww, that's a nice way to look at it, very positive! The shared room is so cheap compared to en suites, I don't think en-suites are really worth the money they are asking. I'll be single study but sharing a bathroom with one other person, I wonder who that lucky person will be - hoping they will be tidy!

Well I plan to keep popping on to TSR before we go so I don't lose touch with the relevant threads to meet people. I keep seeing Facebook links for people to join who have firmed Nottingham. It's a nightmare as I am not signed up to any social networking sites so I can't join. I find them too distracting when I should be revising for exams. I will probably join one after exams finish

Hi! I've got private shared bathroom and will be studying medicine (hopefully)

What are the ensuite rooms like?
What block are they all in? Thanks

I was in L&W back in 2010/11, hopefully it hasn't changed much since then because it was a freaking awesome place to live when I was there. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Generally speaking, it doesn't matter what hall you are in; you'll love wherever you get put and make friends regardless, but I liked the vibe in Lenton. A couple of good points-

The bar is a Mix, as opposed to a standard bar. This is very good news, as the food they serve is far superior to what you can get from the dinner hall at lunchtime. You can use your meal card anywhere on campus for lunch, but if you're home at lunchtime it's nice to get something tasty.

Common room is pretty standard, but bloody big and separate from the rooms so you can make a bit more noise in there. I have no idea what state the pool or air hockey tables are currently in, but they are free and do get periodically fixed when pissed freshers inevitably **** them up.

All of the staff are lovely. Medics! Be nice to Maria the Kitchen manager and she will make you packed lunches on days when you have GP or hospital placements. I have no idea if Glenn McDowell is still the warden; hopefully he is so that you too can enjoy wine and cheese in his mansion.

Thanks for your insight! I'd appreciate it if you kept around for when more of those who get allocated join the thread and have questions, if you wouldn't mind of course as your insight would be valuable How are the rooms for sizing and furniture btw? It's annoying as there's not really many photos of the interior and exterior compared to other halls and if there is some unfortunately they are poor quality images so we can't see them all that well

Awesome I'm hoping to go for graduate entry medicine myself and will be doing my undergraduate in biochemistry. Are you moving from far?

Unless you have a large study room in Lenton Hurst all of the rooms are pretty much exactly the same size. There's a desk, a mini fridge, bed, wardrobe, 2 chairs and a sink. Here's a picture that I took during freshers week; I'm standing in the doorway and the sink is immediately to my left.

All rooms in all halls look a little bleak when you first walk in to bare walls, so I'd recommend bringing at least 4 posters and the most colourful bedclothes you can find. It becomes homely soon enough.

I've got a private shared bathroom there too
