mulberry court??

hey could anyone tell me a little bit about mulberry court or philharmonic cos im thinking of applying to one of these but ive never visited either of them. i like the idea of being fairly central and in self catering.
im a very social person so wouldnt like to be way out from all the studenty areas.

any opinions would be great!! :smile:

thank god for the review Jamie

i had applied Mulberry Court 3rd option but after that i quickly changed it to Philharmonic PHEW :rolleyes:

i like Dale Self Catered - only 16 place?? and males?? can you shed some light on this mate?

and i applied for Derby and Rathbone are the room sizes good for this? i liked the fact they did squash and table tennis which are my favourite sports along the likes of cricket and football etc..

I'm glad you changed your mind! One of my mates is in Dale, he's catered n loves it :smile:

because there's only 2 people sharing a bathroom! I've never checked out the self catered bit...and I have no idea why it's male only. You might find this link helpful...http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=226621 I wrote some stuff about D n R in there. D n R rooms are MUCH bigger than Dale (or any other Uni accommodation for that matter).

Did you not the link I already posted? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=86837 Philharmonic is not amazing but it's nice. The rooms are about the same size as my room in R n G - mediumish as far as halls go. The rooms are plain but have everything u need....desk, bed, wash basin n I can't remember if they had a mirror.

When I visited there were lots of social things going on. Being self catered you bond more with a few people than everyone. But there's nothing stopping you from introducing yourself to neighbouring flats and other blocks. What I mean by social is that people actually like going out and it's not dead quiet all the time and has a good atmosphere. And of course you can socialise, Hardman Street and the town centre are close by...filled with many student bars/clubs.
