Bateson

1. i was in james watson and i always had to go to the post office to pick up parcels, even if they were a teensy bit fatter than a regular envelope and could easily have fitted through the post boxes..

2. wasn't bateson an actual prison, back in the day..?

yeah i heard it was a womens prison or something

BATESON IS A PRISON.
tiny rooms, tiny desk, shared bathroom.
unlike what has been said you are not in the middle of everything.. that would be a definition of James Watson.

the only time you pick up post from bateson is if it is delivered by courier i.e. Parcel force, City link etc. or royal mail special delivery (if you are lucky) anything sent royal mail that is bigger than a normal envvelope will go to the post office which is in town.

and again emphisis on the teeny tiny rooms. i hated the place.
sorry to be so down on you (you will have a great time no doubt) but im telling it like it is.

yeh, you just get the posties hammering on the door at crazy early hours...

and who's room is next to the front door bext year - mine

Its not far from anything, i mean all of the self catered halls that arnt on langstone are all right in the middle. dont get me wrong you are close to everything (bateson is directly opposite Harry Law) you're just a bit further away from the uni buildings and the union tahn if you were in JW.

yea they are tiny box rooms. as i remember maybe a few feet longer than the bed. you also get a very small desk compared to the other halls (where you get one that stretches pretty much the length of a wallor round a corner.

The post: anything letter sized will come to you. anything else sent royal mail (i.e. jiffybags anything from amazon etc) will go to the PO (which is maybe a 5 min walk?) anything by specialist courier will go to the bateson reception.

I'm alrite with the box room, i have the box room at home so i'm alrite with that. Yea im alrite with the post thing as well, as long as they deliver letters its all gravy! And plus its not that far so yea it's all good.
