Hey, so I'm trying to decide which accommodation to apply for. Rowancroft will be my first choice and I was thinking of putting Rowancroft Mews as my second, but I'm really keen to have an en suite. Therefore I was looking at all the other blocks that are reasonably close to St Luke's and came across Northernhay and Trust House which are owned by UNITE as they're the only other ones with a 42+ week contract. Does anyone know if it's essential to have a 42+ week contract for medicine? As there's also James Owen Court but that's only 40 weeks.

What's everyone else thinking for accommodation? :smile:

I am having the exact same issue!!! I'm keen for an ensuite and Rowancroft looks so nice! I THINK it has to be 42 week but I'm not 100% on that one..

Yeah apparently the majority of people who put a preference for Rowancroft get it, as they were having to put students who study on Streatham campus there last year because they didn't have enough spaces in the other accommodation. So it should be fine but I'm trying to get a second and third choice I'll be happy with just in case. I'm thinking I might go Trust House or Northernhay as second choice and Rowancroft Mews as third...

Yeah I reckon I'll do the same.. Really reassuring to know that most people get Rowancroft if they choose it though! Oh this is so exciting!!!

So it turns out they're not offering Trust House or Northernhay for this year :frown:

( Think I'm going to be going Rowancroft, James Owen Court and then Rowancroft Mews….

They run a shuttle bus between Streatham and St Lukes in the morning and in the evening a few times each day, so you could always put down a Streatham accommodation choice and bus over each day? I think the bus put on by the uni is free :smile:

The only thing you'd have to watch is the 40-week contract length, but if you give the accommodation office a ring, they'll be able to confirm whether that's okay. At the open day a few medics were talking about it though and they said they've known people live over on Streatham and they've coped fine. I'm going for Rowancroft, then Rowancroft Mews, then Lafrowda I think :P

Hey! Just wondering, what are the key differences between Rowancroft, Rowancroft Court and Rowancroft Mews? I'm probably going to put Rowancroft first but I'm not sure whether to put Court, Mews or James Owen Court (only a 40 week contract though) as my back up plans :smile:
