Is Gilbert Murray Stamford split between sexes? Gilbert Murray for women and Stamford for men?

no.
some blocks/houses are single sex, some are mixed, across both sites

How do you find out which is which? Is Kent House single or mixed?

I'm in Digby at the moment and it isn't as bad as everyone makes out - there are twenty six people in my block, so as you can imagine, it's incredibly social which kinda makes up for the lack of facilities - like a dining room!

It's split into houses and blocks - four being all male residences. The rooms are generally okay, they aren't massive but to be honest most people don't spend a lot of time in them anyway.

The blocks don't have a common room, or a large kitchen in which everyone can meet (as they are catered) but the foyer works for most of us.

Though some of people I live with didn't have Digby as their first choice of accommodation, all have said that they wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I would recommend, if possible, that you visit all of the residences. You'll know which one is for you just by seeing it. In the meantime if you have any questions about the accommodation, or about the University in general, don't hesitate to ask.



P.S. I have pictures of my room and the foyer if you want to see what they are like?

Heyy, I am currently just about to finish my first year at University and I live in Beaumont Halls so if you have any questions then I would be happy to help ... I also know a little bit about Digby and I am catered if anyone has any queries about being catered

Hi everyone,
I haven't seen all the comments before but I watched this thread last year and am now getting notifications that this thread is quite active.
I am a first year in Digby Hall and I absolutely love it there so I advise you to apply for Digby Hall if you can, it's honestly the best value for money block (if it's still the same price as it was when I applied last year!). It's also the closest to ASDA which is honestly more of an issue than you think as you will probably be making a lot of trips to there at random times so it helps to be close.
All of my friends who live in different blocks have said it is the nicest block they've seen and I agree with them.
If you have any questions then feel free to message me or reply to me on this thread

Heyyy... ive got catered ensuite at GMs. Just wanted to know what the accommodation is like and how the food is?

Hi! I currently live in catered ensuite in GMS! Where aboutsshs have you been offered? The rooms are much bigger in the older blocks and in most cases double that of a room without the ensuite! Most of the blocks have also started on a refurb, the food is good as long as you are not a fussy eater! There's always a cooked breakfast every morning and dinner has 3 options with one being vegetarian.
Feel free to ask anymore questions hope this helps!

I've been allocated to Wistow House, any idea as to what it's like? Is it mixed? Single sex ? How far is the accommodation from the uni ? What's the room like ? What time do they serve dinner ?

The rooms are quite large compared to others in GMS, Wistow is all female and is adjoined to an all boys house Withcote next door 26 live in the house 12 on ground and first floor and 2 on second, the accomodation is opposite john foster you'll definitely need a bus pass or a bike allow about half an hour to make it to lectures.

Hey everyone! I'm going to be studying at Leicester for the first semester starting in September but I will only be there until December as I am a study abroad student from Miami. I have a room in beaumont hall but it's like everything I find online is vague and I'd love to hear more personalized opinions on the hall! Thanks !
