Frances Gardner House

bloody hell dan your mum got you everything!

awww ya guys soo lucky!!! i was in fgh last year, had an amazin first year and really loved me room!!! the rooms are really big, a lot bigger then ya thinking, you'll have plenty of room, i could sleep four ppl on the floor in my room and i was in block C which has the smaller rooms then Blocks A and B, there rooms are masssive, could sleep around 6 ppl on the floor!!! location wise u will be a little further out then other halls but it doesnt effect ya uni experience at all! hope ya all enjoy fgh has much as i did! :-D

Hey, i lived there aswell! I was kinda here on tsr last year too lol. Here are some good points and bad points.

+
Probably the best rooms as they are clean, big and when they fixed the shadow gaps you could blast your music and invite ppl over without pi$$ing people off.
If you drive, you can park your car right outside!
You're kinda close to james lighthill house and their common room is really good and more sociable.
Everything is kinda new and the firealarms didn't go off as much as other halls.
You can just re-arrange stuff n it'll make u have welll loads more space.

First day pretty much sucked, no one was there!
For some reason, there were some strange characters that lived there.. lol probs just my year.
Mmmh there is no buses near by so getting to other halls is a mission.

That's all i can think of oh yeah, don't worry about being the first 1 to get there because most people come on the day after move in day. Hope that helps, i never really stayed at Frances G much... i probs know about my ex's halls or astor college more lol

1) I got some pics but the warden came in my room 1 time and i swear he knicked my sharp gx30i data cable lol
2) Mmm it's difficult to say how big they are because i'm not good at imagining specific dimensions but they are probably one of the biggest rooms out of the halls when you moved the cupboard about. You don't have to worry about the size of the rooms though, you'll have enough space... i had enough space to put a heavy punch bag in n move about aswell.
3) En-suites are alright, only 3 other people inc yourself have used em over the years so they are really clean and new. The showers are kinda messed tho, like out of the blue hot water comes out and burns the **** out of ya lol but other than that, it's really good. Oh yeah, the shower space isn't that big comparing to places like james lighthill so take down the shower curtain and use it to cover the door so you can move about more.
4) About 5-8 to a flat.. i had 7 others with me and they were mixed and random.

Hope that helps & if you see that warden, see if he has a sharp phone

Oh yeah another thing, when you get to uni all these worries about room size and stuff go straight out the window... well it did for me, you'll be out and about and will probably hardly ever spend long in the room. I found the best parties outside of Frances G though, hopefully it's more lively when you lot move in.

THANX for all the help! (twas v useful)

I finalyl got my letter today and i've got a choice....

i can have a single en-suite room

OR

a double en-suite room! (obviously at a hefty price)

has everyone else been given the choice? what are double rooms like?
