What accommodation is best for me at Bristol University?

I've just accepted my offer to read dentistry at Bristol and I am wondering which halls would be best. I am looking for an en suite - but cost is a big deciding factor!
Ideally there would be a good balance between the social side of things and having the peace and quiet to study.
Any suggestions?

Thank you :smile:

Do you really need an en suite? If accommodation costs are really important to you, you can save by going for a room with a basin - pretty handy if you need to brush quickly etc. Sharing a bathroom is not bad, you never have to wait for the showers, they get cleaned and you get a bigger room. :smile:

Why do you not need to wait for a shower in a shared bathroom?
Also, am I right in thinking that ensuite bathrooms have to be cleaned by myself?

Because there are more than enough showers! I share 4 showers with 15 other girls - sounds quite horrible at first, I know! Whenever I would need a shower all 4 showers wouldn't be occupied, or - at the very worst - there will be only one other person taking a shower. As opposed to a tiny shower cubicle, our showers are quite spacious, brand new and, believe me, they are clean! Hope this helps!

I originally thought that an en suite was the most important factor in applying for accommodation last year. However, after applying for an en-suite at Wills, I was put into a room there with a shared bathroom. The shared bathrooms at Wills are brilliant, for example, in my block, we have 5 showers and a bath between 9 of us. I rarely even bump into people in the bathroom, so it's pretty much like having an en suite- except all the cleaning is done for you!
Wills is really good for all of the things listed, but I'm probably biased...
