I've received an unconditional to do Adult Nursing - could be interesting being male.

Ah you'll be like Greg Focker! Haha I wouldn't worry about it.. Male nurses are normally really cute :wink:

For fitzroy/wenlock court it's £126 a week which sounds like a lot but I think it's quite good value considering the rooms are all en suite and nicely decorated and kitchens are nice, there's plenty of space, nice sofas, brand new buildings with new appliances etc. all bills included, unlimited access to the gym, 24/7 security and a reception desk...

At other universities in the South East you'd pay £110 for a tiny room and a crappy tiny kitchen (with dated appliances), no communal living areas, rubbish security etc. I'd rather pay the extra £16 a week and be in the great location with all the extras and a decent standard of living so in my opinion it's worth it.

I'm not talking about fitzroy/wenlock, I'm talking about the other halls, it's a very standard with no extras, only Internet. You don't get use of the gym facility and there's no communal area. I don't think that's worth almost £500. I could probably rent my own flat without having to share a bathroom to kitchen for that amount of money right?

*My rent at John Street will be £486

You'll have all of your bills included though. Water, gas, electricity and internet can add up to quite a bit of money. Getting your own flat with bills included for £500 a month is extremely ambitious in the South East. In certain areas up north it probably wouldn't be a problem at all but it's pretty unrealistic for the South East, particularly when considering the proximity to London. It's all about the location. I know people spending over £200 a week for tiny rooms without en suites in London and in certain parts of London you'd probably be paying even more.
