So i’ve firmed warwick for biomed and when i was applying for accommodation i was going to apply to rootes/tocil as my top choices. My mum told me she wanted me to have my own toilet so she said apply to ensuites so i made heronbank and lakeside my top choices. Now she’s saying it’s too expensive because it’s £160 a week like i didn’t tell her that before so i said i can just change it back to rootes which is way cheaper but she doesn’t want me to bc i’m muslim and apparently it’s unclean and people pee on the seats? Idk but now she wants me to stay with random people she found in coventry where i get just a room but i want to be on campus and she’s against that. Anyone who has a shared bathroom is it generally clean? Plus how regularly is it cleaned? I’m applying for single sex accommodation too.
In the accommodation I lived in, the toilets weren't cleaned, we had to clean them ourselves. We kept them fairly clean but it was 4 girls sharing and we were in our 20s rather than 18 so I suspect that made a difference.

Does the cost of your accommodation not come from your Student Finance?
Would there not be interest to pay regardless of the sum?
Yeah that’s what i told her but she thinks it’s better if i take out less. It doesn’t bother me but she has a big problem with it. Idm even getting a shared bathroom which is cheaper but she’s against that too.

Some unis clean shared bathrooms daily - you'll need to ask.
Toilets are frequently cleaned in the shared accommodation. The frequency I can't remember and might have changed with covid, but it was definitely daily or close to it.

You can request a single gender flat too.
If i’ve already applied can i change my preferences?
I’m going to Warwick as well to study biomedical science. I choose Whitefields as my first choice and requested all girls for my accommodation since I’m Muslim. I’m also worried about the cleanliness of the toilets but I’m sure it won’t be too bad. Idk if this weird but because we technically share a lot in common you could tell your mom that you’re not the only one who is in this position.
