Rutherford Hall!

Hey Guys, i'm starting at Loughborough Uni at the end of the month and have a room in Rutherford, only can't seem to find anyone else staying in the same hall...

Is anybody else staying there, or knows something about it, it's reputation, what the rooms are like etc...

Also does anyone know the website for it, all the other halls seem to have individual websites but the link for Rutherford doesn't seem to work?

Any help would be great. Thanks x x x

Rutherford is a cool hall, its right next cayley, you are our rivals so expect a lot of banter in the coming weeks!

The rooms are nice, the food is ok and ure committee are quite a laff this yr...
Also youre right next to whitworth for ure post and right next to the Shop and takeaway joint and the gym is just up the road...

All in all you could have done a lot worse.

My mate stayed in rutherford last year, with an en suite bathroom. its nice. the rooms are quite big and u got nice big desks. the only thing is that the student car park backs on to the back of rutherford. cool hall thou, it was one of my choices.

I would say in general people don't really like Towers or Elvyn, and maybe Faraday. But it changes with every hall. Most popular hall is your hall. Best hall is Bill Mo. Rutherford i think might have a website, trying to remember if it had been made or not. Will try find it.
I'm gona b staying at rutherford! Cant Wait!!! :biggrin: I was lookin 4 the website 2, i've tryed the one at the loughborough website but it doesnt work... :frown:

I'm rutherford too! Studying English. I dont have en suite which is a bit of a blow but i'm sure i'll survive heehee. Am excited but well nervous as well!
Do you have a 'new single room' or just 'single room' ? I opted for just the 'single room' & the extra £140 saved has gone on my platinum extra card :p:

Is there much difference between the 2 types, if any 1 knows..?

hiya just trying to keep the rutherford thread alive and kicking!
does anyone know if wardrobes in halls (esp. rutherford obviously) have a mirror in them? really 'picky' question i know but i was wondering if i need to lug my full length up - after all, us girlies need to know what our whole outfit looks like! hehe!

I would suggest bring your own, the room is likely to only have a mirror above the sink (in Elvyn was like this anyway). On a side note make sure you bring an extention lead so your hair straightners can be used by the mirror........in the rooms the plugs are invariably as far away as possible from the mirror!
*Girly rant over*
