LSBU best accommodation?

Original post by Dannie0

Hi!
I'm considering my options when it comes to accommodation at LSBU for September 2017, which is the best?
Which is the cheapest/most expensive?
Where do the nurses usually stay?
I'll be studying adult nursing if I firm my offer

Anyone else in the same position?! 😁

I've got an offer for occupational therapy and plan on making it my firm. I've been looking at the accommodation on their website so that might help you a bit. Originally, I was thinking mclaren house which I believe is where most people stay. All but I think one floor is ensuite and I think was £146 or so per mouth. It's also about a ten minute walk from the uni (I've been doing my research 😅) Looking at Dante now but that's shared bathroom which although I'd rather not I'd save a lot of money with that one being £118.

Ohh what dont you like about them? 😂
I think despite the fact Dante is shared it appealed to me more because the showers isnt a wet room as well as it being cheaper. Wet rooms just don't appeal to me 😅
When can you apply for accommodation, once you've firmed it?

I don't like a wet room either! I think they all look really run down and I really don't like any of them 🙈 I think I'm like it with most university accomodation though!
Yeah I think once you firm it you can apply, I think the rates are changing too I emailed them the other day and they said they was uploading new rates next week so keep an eye out :smile:

Contacted the accommodation today, they said they expect students for the 17/18 year to be able to apply for their places within a couple of weeks, with allocation going first to international and unconditional offers. They did say they expect prices to change slightly for this year.

I'm hoping to get a place in Dante Road, as looking through the online feedback McLaren House seems really run down, and is far more expensive just for what is essentially a wet room added on to your room. :biggrin:

Damn I haven't even confirmed my place either and weeks isn't long enough considering there is a like £300 deposit which needs to be paid 😭 I plan on applying for Dante house but weeks man come on. When they say slightly how much do you think?

McLaren.

Is the accommodation thing actually open because I clicked on the link the online accommodation service one but nothing happens. On the website it says it will soon be open. Is it just me or is it actually not opened yet?

Thanks in advance

Ah okay I will probably do that then. Did you finally manage to find accommodation that appealed to you ? x
