aw I was in A block last year! Sherfields definately the nicest accomodation in Reading, consider yourselves very lucky!



It is so good hearing this from a previous tenant!! Not having seen the Halls makes you stress a bit and await for a bundle of 'surprises', but having feedback like this is so encouraging. Thanx for the info on internet access.
Btw guys i'm also up for hot chocolate...not irish though:smile:

FINALLY got my stuff through.
Now I need to sign all my stuff and send it back.
And they say I'm in an ensuite.
Yet... they've personally told me I'm not.
God knows!

No block number or anything yet.

i have said this before but im sure all rooms at sherfield are en-suite

oh well it wont be the first time iv been wrong
i was lookign through the downlaodable halls booklet online earlier to see which had best facilities for halls attachment, and im pretty sure it said all sherfield rooms were ensuite.

yeah I know... but the hall told me specifically that I wouldn't be in an ensuite room. I'm in a wheelchair accessible room, so I guessed they had it not ensuite for more room.

Hmmm, copious amounts of postgrads eh?

I'm gonna be in Sherfield and studying an MSc in Environmental Pollution.

The hall sounds pretty good although there's all the usual rubbish in the handbook :p:
Hope everyone's as up for another awesome uni year as I am. How do people already know which block they're in? Do I get stuck with all the 102 year olds? :frown:

Looking forward to meeting loadsa new peeps :biggrin:

Ok I'm in!
Though as my boyfriend's car broke down last week I don't have my computer in halls. So I'm back at my boyfriends for the afternoon/evening to spend time with him and get more things.
So I'll be around this evening and tomorrow.

I'm in block D!
The room is a good size, but the walls could do with a lick of paint!
There was no hot water today or yesterday either so I couldn't have a shower when I wanted one, but they said they'd fix that!

I'll have computer access for this afternoon and should be taking my computer back with me this evening, so... anyone else there?

Hey, was wondering if anyone has applied/ is applying for Sherfield Halls for 2007?

I'm in Sherfield and moving in this weekend. Any other fresher postgrads moving into Sherfield this year?
I'm not a postgrad but I am moving into Sherfield on Sunday - I'm a bit scared I'm going to fill the car with lots of stuff and have twice as much as anyone else.. looking forward to it though :smile:

Hello fellow Sherfielderoons,

Wow look at the little community gathering already! I'm coming down to Reading on Sunday, slightly nervous, but very excited 23 year old Land Management Undergrad..

So has anyone been given their room numbers or anything yet?
not yet - think we have to wait till we get there :frown: What time you gonna arrive? I'm packing at the moment but am really worried about how much stuff I am taking.. hope the rooms aren't too shoe-boxy?!!

I'm gonna try and get there earlyish, probably around 11! I am hoping to get a car parking spot as well.

Tell me about it, I can't believe how much crap i've accumulated in my short life! I am going to try and bring it all with me, if it won't fit in my room I guess my parents will have to take it back with them.

Apparently the rooms a quite plush (for student halls), they are one of the most expensive which has got to count for something!

Hi!
I have few questions to people who stay at Sherfield Hall:
- are the rooms single or shared?
- do all the rooms have en-suite bathrooms or there are some with wash basins only?

Best regards

I dont live in Sherfield but do a bit of work there...

All the rooms are singles (340 in total) and all are en-suite, with shared kitchens.

Hope this helps
