Hey all, current first year at bath here! Im living in John Wood Court (was late applying to other accommodations) and was expecting the worst. however, i am here to spread the joys of John Wood and do not panic if you are here by choice or otherwise.
Pros:
Great room size and quality for the price (some of the biggest of all the accommodations)
4 or 5 per kitchen (very reasonable) with 2 toilets and a shower. rarely is there a queue for either.
Perfect location for all the nearly pubs and clubs
Good for exploring the city (lovely place)
Good selection of supermarkets, Sainsburys, tescos, iceland etc (on campus there is only 1 small-ish expensive supermarket)
Distance between here and campus makes it a lovely retreat at the end of the day - makes you feel at home.
Cons:
20 minute bus journey to campus so you will have to be up earlier than those on campus.
Occasional long bus queues (I have been late 3 times the whole year due to busses)
~£175 for a bus pass but you save that with cheaper rent
I dont regret John Wood at all - great place to be!
