Carr Mills Accommodation

Does anyone know very much about Carr Mills? I only came across it by accident and I just wanted to know a bit more about it

It looks really nice...but as its not an official hall, maybe not as sociable, especially if you're not sharing a kitchen or anything...looks nice and modern though, very comfy!

Information about Carr Mills will be going up on our website tomorrow (hopefully) but in the meantime...

There are 2 bits to Carr Mills - part of it is a proper hall of residence housing 300 students, managed by the University and housing University of Leeds first years (and some new exchange students).

The other part is 71 1 and 2 bed private flats. Quite a few of these may end up being rented by students (though usually 2nd and 3rd years or postgrads) and the rest will probably be "young professionals"

The link posted is to the private bit - the student bit isn't quite as plush but it's still really nice (comparable to places like Leodis and James Baillie). We'll try and get some photos up on the website as soon as we can.

We've got a new Warden down there for September who is really nice and is very keen on getting lots of social stuff set up so should be a good place to live. And it's en suite, internet connected, easy walk to campus and brand new!

Just out of interest, how close are these private flats the the uni accom? I can't really imagine young professionals wanting to live in the vicinity of a bunch of raucous 1st years but maybe I'm missing something?

I applied for Leodis but got put in Carr Mills. I cant say i mind especially ... I think it actually looks nicer, the only downside being that its further away from the campus, but never mind.
Im in Block D, Room 1186.
