Best Accomodation in Exeter?

They're not full doubles, but they definitely feel significantly bigger than a single bed.

I agree that Hope certainly is very lively. Lopes is very quiet though. It definitely seems as though all of the people who put down 'Clubbing, parties etc' as their interests were put in Hope, where as quieter people were put in Lopes. Obviously what you're like would depend which halls you prefer.

I didn't apply for Hope and if I applied again I would certainly have put it as my third choice instead of Birks. I would not mind living there at all. The only problem is that there is quite a high chance you'd get a shared room, but then again.. I know that most people have been moved to single rooms now if they wanted to be.

What makes you think Lopes is quiet? I can honestly assure you it isn't. Bad advice anyway, the atmosphere/liveliness of the halls is not going to be the same every year.

Okay, best accommodation is NOT MOBERLY OR OLD LAFROWDA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Make sure to remember to check at least 1000 times that you have not applied to either of these. Holland and Mardon have got to be the best all-round ensuite accommodation, and I personally don't think they're too rah. If you go to a typical high-performing day public school you should be at home there. If you go to a state school I can imagine you might find most of the crowd a little posh for you. If you really want to avoid the rugby crowd, you should probably keep away from ensuites altogether. Nevertheless, the slightly less well-positioned accommodation at Birks Grange will contain a crowd that is a little bit more varied. You have a better chance of getting into this as well because Mardon and Holland have a very high number of applicants per place.

I can't stress this enough though: DO NOT WRITE MOBERLY OR LAFROWDA ON ANY PART OF YOUR FORM!

Essentially, James Owen Court is the best, due to its daily (and occasionally twice-daily) fire alarms bringing us all together, rain or shine, midday or 4'o clock in the morning

Just to warn you, if you apply too holland or mardon you will meet a lot of idiots like this guy who look down on anyone who isn't stupid enough to spend a lot more money per week on uni accommodation.

I'm from London and looking to be in the most relaxed halls of residence, I was leaning towards Lafrowda, but some people have mentione 'resident tutors'. Does that mean just standard wardens, or third year sudents getting free accomodation, or are there actually respectable university staff living in the halls with first years? and is this the same with all halls?
