Norwich House

I put The Park Houses as one of my top choices and im hoping to get Norwich House! Can anyone tell me about Norwich House? Iv heard it has a lot of international and mature students staying there, is this true? How many rooms are en-suite and how big are the rooms? Also, how are the corridors/floors divided in terms of numbers? Is it 1-24 ground, 25-72 middle, 73-120 top like Lancaster and York are?

Any help will be appreciated :smile:

Norwich is different and I never lived there only visited, but if memory serves, there are no actual rooms on the ground floor. Because of the slope the ground floor only exists at the front and the middle floor rooms at the back are actually at ground level. So I think 1-48 middle and 49-96 top (12 per corridor) with some weird ones with letters in F2 or 23A scattered around just to confuse.

As for international etc, that sort of thing changes between years and no-one knows who decides.

Norwich House is well good. There aren't any en-suites buut the rooms are pretty big, as are the kitchens. In my opinion the best value for money accomodation, and definitely the best of the park houses.

What are the showers like there though?
Do people leave them in a state and do you have to que often?

I wouldn't have thought the showers would be a problem - despite the amount sharing, I would have thought that everyone would shower at very different times of the day or night! I'm sure we'll be fine!

Hopefully! I just couldn't stand it if the showers were left in a state all the time though - eurgh!
I would imagine it depends on who happens to be using the showers that year. They do get cleaned every morning though.
