Newcastle Accommodation 2014

Original post by KawaKawa

Oh dear, we must have some strange preferences to be wanting to live in a replica prison haha. But yeah, that's good news, everyone got the email saying accommodation applications are open on the 24th of March right?

Yeah I got that, not sure how many places we have to put down on the application or how it works really though

If it's like Northumbria's I think you pick about five places in order of preference.

Ricky Road and Marris House are my first and second choices like :smile:

I applied last year and I'm re-applying this year also. If it's the same as last year you get six choices overall, three wash-basin/standard room choices in order of preference, and three en-suite room options in terms of preference. Hope this helps :smile:

I take it you're picking those because you want to get stuck right into the parties like me eh? :wink:

Of course!! Could have stayed somewhere nice like the new accommodations but it just wouldn't be as fun

Yeah same! I'd rather stay somewhere where it'll probably be better crack and I'd be saving a fair amount per week on the rent. Win win :smile:

Has anyone found out how much deposit you need to pay for accommodation?

I'm thinking about Castle Leazes since it's close to Business School.

I went and looked at Leazes a few weeks ago, I thought it was going to be really good for social life etc but got put off it- it was pretty run down.

I saw Liberty Plaza + one of the show rooms at The View, both are en-suite and were really, really nice, they are literally next door to the business school! Quite pricey though!

First year business management students aren't even in the business block so other than being well flash, Liberty Plaza offers no benefits and it's just wasting valuable beer and food money!

i don't care about the prices, I just want to be close to my classes. So which is the best choice?
