Agnes Jones House

Hello. :smile:

Just wondering if anyone is planning to stay at, has stayed at or has visited Agnes Jones House? They have my details and everything now so I assume I will get a room there, but I haven't had a chance to visit so I have no idea what the inside looks like. I like the sound of it but it would be cool to just hear other people's thoughts.

Hihi, I'm moving in on Sunday - they have heaploads of spare rooms so you'll be fine. You'll get given a fob that lets you through the billions of doors around the place. They have a new common room with a pool table and darts and whatnot. The rooms themselves are in flats of, erm, 3, 4, 5 and 7 rooms I think, not completely sure. LOL, who knows you might even get bunged in with us XD You get a kitchen, shower and blahdeblah. Rooms are quite nice, they have carpet and lots of storage space, and you're hooked up to the University broadband. You also get free phone calls to the Uni. It's on Catherine Street, literally just straight down the road from the Guild.

I've spent a lot of time there 'cause I had lots of pals living there when I was in first year - it's a really great place ^^;

Let me know what day you're moving in, I'll give you a hand with your stuff~

Cool! Sounds good. :smile: I'm especially pleased to hear about the storage space...I have a lot of junk! I think I'm moving in around the 18th sometime, thanks for offering to help. :biggrin:

Just got a question, were you told which room you would be staying in before you moved in to Agnes Jones? :confused: Apparently I'll be told once I get there, but the bloke I spoke to on the phone sent me a letter with half of my address incomplete/wrong and gave me a wrong number to ring on two separate occasions, so I'm not sure I really trust what he says...hehe. I suppose that does actually make sense though, since they don't ask for a deposit.

Yeah, you'll get assigned when you get in. And I'm sorry, I'm sick right now so I ain't much use for helping you move in - best of luck anyway. If there's anything I can help you out with let me know.

Hehe. Yep, all moved in! I'm on the ground floor in LO block, whereabouts are you? :smile: I don't really know what to do with myself, I'm a bit gutted that there's no kettle!

Yeah it's annoying! Everyone does their own thing during the day and it's crap to just sit alone, I'm looking forward to starting my course and actually having a proper opportunity to get out and meet people under normal conditions. :smile:

It's a really horrible place to live. I lived there last year and the flats were dirty. the majority of the appliances were partially functional or not functional. replacements and repairs took months, requiring a lot of perseverance to make each repair happen. apart from location, would not recommend this place to anyone.
