Well i had a friend living there last year, whom i also visited..Apparently the bathroom has mould growing within as well as general rooms.

Hawthorns simply doesnt appeal to me, i would rather spend the additional £20 if not more to secure an en-suite on campus than live in Hawthorns. I really dont need to think finance as everything is paid for me,,,

i was just offering some advice!!!

good luck


So your friend cant clean?

Not to be picky but where was the advice? having a go at our new homes does not offer us any advice what so ever. Here's some advice for you, try not to generalise based on one experience, and try to keep your opinions to places where they are required.

I gave my opinion as well as advice to such and do not expect some obscure comments coming back from you

Anyway good luck with your halls am sure you'll all need it

i live in Holly X and on yesterday morning i decided to walk to the hawthorn shop to get some much needed credit, as opposed to the one on campus, as i didnt wanna be seen. I thought the walk was beautiful- may seem a bit far when ur in a rush, but when you're not, its lovely.

Absolutely! Especially when the sun is shining. I bet it's nice when it's all freshly snowy too - if a little cold!

Hawthorns is great! And it's between 20 and 30 people to a block not 36!!! I loved it! Very sociable. I liked the walk onto campus. My friends who lived in Horwood made a lot less friends. There is no mould. You haave cleaners EVERY day doing the bathrooms and kitchens twice a week, aswell as cleanin ur room every 2 weeks. People who thing ensuite accommodation is amazing need to get their head out of their backsides. Yes, Lindsay and Holly Cross are the nicest looking buildings, but who cares? We're students!
