Feel free to help out in my threads

Im going to book accommodation glenamara house. Would anyone be able yo reccoment any floors or rooms that have already been refurbished.

I think all of the rooms have been refurbished for 2017 as they're all now the same price and only have the refurbished room option that I can see x

I'm hoping to come to Northumbria in September however I'm stuck between lovaine flats, lovaine halls and Stephenson (they're all I'll be able to afford 😂) I've seen in other threads that lovaine flats are considered the "designated quiet halls" is this true? I'd rather not be in quiet accommodation however I'm swayed towards this accomodation because of the price!

Have you been to the university yet? I visited stephenson when i went in july and i think it looked very nice. They have lots of facilities in the accomodation. I was told that the lovaine flats have sorta been left behind while improvements have been made to the other accomodations. Students at the university also told me peolle try to go back to stephenson for their second year because they really enjoy living there and the staff are lovely.

Yeah they were saying "fingers crossed all of the rooms will be refurbished for 2017". I just want to make sure so I don't get there to find that some still haven't been finished.

Hello there! I was just wondering when do you start applying for accommodation?

I've only had an acknowledgement of my application for Northumbria (that was over a week ago) and it's been my first choice from the start. Which accommodation would you recommend for someone who wants to make a lot of friends, and be pretty social etc.

I'm looking into booking accommodation at camden court but I know the WiFi is only 50Mb instead of 100Mb. I want to know if this is any good. I also noticed there is only 1 fridge, is this correct for all flats? I also want to know what the laundry facilities are like and if there is storage under the bed.

Hey guys, final year work is piling up, so I've only just got round to replying to this thread, but I'll do my best!



I've heard good things about Glenamara pre-refurbishment, but they should be done by 2017 (bare in mind there's still another 9 months or so).



Most of the accommodation has "quiet sections", so as long as you don't ask to be there, you probably won't be.



You can apply for accommodation after confirming your UCAS offer from Northumbria. For most people that's results day in the summer.



Glenamara, Camden Court and Trinity Square are pretty good socially. Alternatively, you could go somewhere privately owned like Liberty Quay .



50MB is fine for WiFi. For your other questions you're probably best emailing the university who'll be able to find the answers to your questions. Their email address is [email protected]
