Hi all, literally just got a place through clearing as a mature student (25) and I'm moving out of my flat to go to uni so I need a room that I can stay in over some of the breaks.

Also ensuite/self catered, any idea which blocks fit the bill? I'm way behind so need to apply asap
Will be reading this whole thread in the meantime lol
Thanks for any help

John Foster and GMS are your best bets I think, Nixon in city living.

Just been told that John Foster is out of self catered rooms, Mary Gee and Nixon still have self catered places but few ensuite rooms left anywhere

Ah, I guess that was bound to happen at some point. I'm going to wait to hear back from them and see what they say. As long as I get somewhere that's self-catered and would also really like an en-suite.

Thanks, you too! Ahh I don't mix with technology... Oh right, yeah I haven't heard anything about Derby except it being small hahaha. I went on the open day but I think it was closed for refurbishment? From what I've heard the rooms are quite small but it's really sociable, are you going catered or self catered?

Haha yep that's Derby for you :P. Oh right, that makes sense then :smile:

hopefully it looks decent then. Yeah I heard there's a great social vibe there! I'm going self-catered, saves a lot of money lol. I've found a facebook page for Digby people btw, thought you might be interested :smile:

Haha I was having the same thought! Catered is a bit annoying... All the moving out and moving in... But I still feel quite excited :smile:

So you got a room in ground floor? Guess I'll be seeing you around a lot then. :smile:

And I'm studying International Relations, what about you?

Anyone been offered block R in Mary Gee?

I'm thinking of taking it as the price makes up for the negatives and quite a few people on here have said it is more sociable than JoFo.

Student accommodation said today that the only self catered en suite rooms left are the Premium + ones at £5,323.50.
