UEA Accommodation

there is a lot of things on campus to get involved with from societies to academic stuff. The LCR (student union) hosts many gigs with some big names through the year; the past year has included the 1975, paolo nutini, gabrielle aplin. It also hosts 2 students nights one of which is themed fancy dresses on Tuesdays and normal student nights Saturdays.

In town there are student nights too which are popular and easy enough to get to.

Often there is a mix between both town and on campus

OK thank you! Previous and current students have rated UEA as 8.6/10 for social life though so it seems pretty good! Would it be because there is a lot to do on campus or is the bus just so cheap that everyone just goes out anyways? sorry stupid but essential questions :P and thank you! this is the quickest and most helpful reply i've got so far

Quite ****ing annoyed that there is only one working shower in my flat between at least 10 of us.
And I have builders waking me up early


Not a great first impression accommodation wise..I expect more for 3.9k!!! Ffs

There was a water leak yesterday and they are trying to get it fixed. Completely beyond UEA's control. Unless the shower/builders are there for something else.

I'm sad that you've had a bad first experience. I feel like I want to apoologise on behalf of UEA... I'm sure they would apologise profusely if you spoke to them about it! I feel sure there has been some issue that has prevented them from meeting the deadline. What work is it that they are doing?

Also, wow, where are you that there are already 10 people living there before main arrivals date! Are you in Orwell/Wolfson? Or are you in the new building?

Oh don't apologise

Well I spoke to the UEA accom today and he said that he's spoken to the people who will sort the shower asap.
He also told me to email him in writing regarding the builders.

I have no idea why the builders are there but he said they should have been finished 2 months ago.

Oh and we currently have 5 flatmates and 5-7 more are moving in this Sunday but I doubt the shower will work by then

Ah I see. Yeah, it is getting pretty close! I'd still hold up hope though they should rush to get it sorted before everyone else moves in. I guess they didn't test all the showers before move in week began!

In now thinking you're probably in terraces- I heard and saw builders there the other day (a week Wednesday), but campus was full of them then so didn't think too much of it!

I hope it all gets sorted quickly and your year is more issue free!

Ahh so torrents are blocked in uni accomodation

So basically Im going to die

Are we allowed mini fridges in our rooms?

no

is there a reason?

How good/bad is broadband speed in rooms? Cloud wifi is not so bad, but with its' constant spikes make it extremely unreliable.
