Rootes - which block's which?

I wonder if any current students could help me out here...

It says I'm in Rootes J-P, is that New Rootes or Old Rootes?

Just curious :smile:

Ta!

hey, reading old posts, I think that A-I is old Rootes, and J-P is new Rootes

Just thought I'd confirm what PhoenixSTL said: A-I is Old Rootes and J-P is New Rootes. Though I think I is technically "International House" which is a little bit separate from Old Rootes (and is not necessarily for international students!).

YES! I'M NEW!

Actually, don't know why I'm so pleased. What actually is the difference? I've just heard it's better to be in new...

Click on the arrival instructions and scroll through to the end. There will be a big grey page which says if you are A-I or J-P.

you need to accept the agreement and the click on the arrivals link.

and don't worry, enrollment is on the 12th!

I prefer old to be honest. New has really long corridors though- kinda cool as you meet loads of people (less doors too though which makes for easier fly posting/annoying people :smile:

).

In terms of accommodation standards though theres little if any difference between the two.

Old is so confusing though! Its like a crazy maze where you get lost and end up going round in circles and just end up sitting on the floor in tears because you just dont know what to do..
No not really. Its really cool.

What?? You think?? Old Rootes is ok but hasn't been upadated in years (by the looks of it since it was built). The time i visitied it seemed cold and run down. New Rootes (Kirby Lodge at least, the one opposite the union) is much much nicer in terms of accommodation and the rooms were re-done last summer i think. I'm not sure if the other New Rootes block was updated though.
