when i filled the forms out it said tick the box which you prefer... 1st years/2nd/mature. so i duno i guess it just depends!
i don't know anyone who will be in huddersfield haha. and i have no idea where anything is, i'm gonna go up there to have a good look around soon. whats the difference between little aspley and big? i think its somethin to do with me payin more for a bigger room? not too sure. do you know people that are gonna be there?

I went to see aspley to pick out my room there last week and i think little aspley's jus a smaller version of big aspley (without sounding stupid!!:redface: ) but it's nearer to the main road plus big aspley has the gym and pool on site but thats about it. If you payed more your getting a delux room thers only one in every flat and i got the one in mine aswell!!:smile: i live in barnsley which is like 25mins away and i still don't know anyone who's going to the uni or staying in aspley so we're kinda in the same boat!:smile: so what are you going to be studying? how did you find out about aspley?

Hiya all!

I'm going to hudds uni in september to study Interactive Multimedia. Im pretty scared cos i dont know ne1 thats goin there or nethin much about the area. I'm applying for a room at Storthes Hall and i was wondering if ne1 else is staying there too? I think they put people from different subjects in rooms nearby so u can get to know other ppl from those in ur class. So i guess if ne of u apply to Storthes theres a chance we cud be flat mates? lmao

I've just been on the opal website. I dont really understand how the rooms work. Do you get a separate bedroom and bathroom and just share an apartment or is it like a communal bedroom? lmao im so confused but them rooms look better than storthes - and you get a heated pool! lol :smile:

with opal you get your own bedroom with your own bathroom.
and you share a living room/kitchen.
its really good, ive stayed with friends in the manchester ones and they are so good. everyone has a laugh, i recommend opal!

evrey1 in storthes halls will have to pay to get taxi's home after a night out but we can just crawl to aspley!!


Taxi to Storthes is only a fiver anyway, and when there's 4 of you sharing it's £1.25 each, so not really that expensive.

I dont know how Storthes sorted out the rooms with us, but it did seem like they were putting people from different courses together, but it was also by surname (in our flat, our surnames all began with F or G). Your profile says you are from near Middlesbrough. Where abouts (I'm from Peterlee, just up the A19)? :smile:

As kobrakai has said, the taxi from town to Storthes is only £5 so its not too bad.

that money could be towards another drink! lol :]
I dont think you can argue against Storthes on the basis of the cost of a taxi ride.

However you could claim that living nearer to uni is a greener option (pollution, carbon foot print, fossils fuels, blah blah) as there wont be any taxi/car + bus journeys.
