Derby Halls - what are they like?

I've been given an offer of accommodation at the Derby Halls but I didn't visit it when I went to the open day so I'm not sure what it's like! Does anyone have any pictures of it or could tell me how they are finding it/did find living there please?
Thank you!
Ah I'm in the same position! I didn't view it but when I applied for accommodation all ensuite rooms everywhere had gone so I put down shared bathroom with 1 room plus and I got offered it at Derby! what room have you got?

That's fair enough haha! Oh wow! I bet that will be so interesting, I'd be rubbish at that😂 Is it a longer course because it's so specialised? What grades do you need to get for it?
Haha both different
Yeah, It's 4 years as its integrated masters and it's the same everywhere so a long time! I'm excited but so nervous
I need AAB, what do you need?

Oh right that is a long time haha! Mine would only be 3 years I think because I'm pretty sure study abroad is only a term rather than a year at Nottingham unlike some other unis I looked at! I know how you feel haha, it's such a big decision!
I have to get AAA😅

Ahhh right, yeah it is but it'll be worth it! I want to do a term studying aboard also, it's something different! Ooo good luck with that!

Oh right! Is that where you share a bathroom more people or a study area? Neither do I! I had no idea it was first come first serve so I just didn't apply for it until recently and I got my offer in November!

Oh fair enough! See I already knew (have out WWAAAAAYYYYY too much thought into university) but my last reply from a university was at the end of March and then the next/only remaining option to go look at another choice was the very end of April so I have hardly any choice in it!

I think I'm sharing a bathroom but I cant even find out how many?! Don't think I could do shared study area...
I've also been put in Derby halls!! I've got the study plus as well, it sounds nice and location is good, though I've heard the food isn't the best 😂
