Hello, we've started this thread so that everyone who is going to be studying at Thornton Science Park can get to know each other before the start of term
Elton is the nearest village, but not many places to stay.Ellesmere port is close enough to travel from. Staying in Chester is an option too as there will be a free bus from main campus to Thornton, I'm not sure on the times they run at though.
Where are you guys staying? I usually recommend for first years to stay somewhere near other students, as being at uni can be lonely sometimes, so you want to be somewhere close to other people in the same position as you. And of course people you can make friends with easily to spend your free time with
What's the nearest accommodation to Thorton? I'm guessing Ellesmere port?
If you have applied for University accommodation, Thornton students will be allocated accommodation that is based in Chester. You will receive more information about accommodation allocations after A Level results on Thursday.
The University will provide transport between Chester and Thornton Science Park. Hope that helps
