Lancaster 2015 Accommodation

i'm thinking of applying to Bowland for a first choice and Fylde for 2nd.

,,,, is it 'bowland' as in 'rainbow' or 'bowland' as in 'bow down'...?

Don't think you are. When I was there on an open day the tour guide pronounced it "field".

It's definitely pronounced "Filed", I should know, I live in the Fylde Coast xD

Would anyone be able to tell me roughly how many people go catered, is it a tiny minority or quite a few? Also how many typically share a bathroom in standard rooms?

I had in my head form the offer holder day I was definitely putting Grizedale and then Lonsdale but now I'm wondering about Pendle and Fylde! I don't think I will put Fylde because I'm doing maths and it's right ear maths and I just don't want to live where I study exactly.

Any views between Pendle, Lonsdale and Grizedale?

(I'm going for superior ensuite)

I was going to go for Grizedale; but I decided to go for County as its nearest to my department. They all seem the same, so for what's nearest to your studies - just so you don't know have to do a lot of walking haha

I'm doing History so I'm going to have to have a look at what's closest for me then, I'm already late to Sixth Form as it is so the closer the better I reckon

Ah I went fro Grizedale and then Lonsdale. I feel like the walk to lectures will be my only exercise haha - might need it.

That is very true. Good strategic planning.

Hey guys, anyone in this thread currently at Lancaster and able to provide information on what to bring and what not to bring. Off to IKEA today to pickup pots, pans, plates etc but i was wondering if things like a kettle, crockery drying rack, microwave ETC are all provided?

I'm looking to stay in a townhouse, wanted to add that in in-case it differs according to accommodation type.

I've got a very comprehensive shopping list but if there are some things already provided then i can avoid buying them :smile:

Thanks in advance.

I'm not in a townhouse but in my kitchen there is a kettle, microwave, toaster, washing up bowls, drying racks and bins provided (they provide bin bags too), hope that helps 😊

That's fantastic, thank you very much :smile:

I think it would be safe to assume that they provide the same in a townhouse.

Just finished my last exam so looking into this now, think I'm going to go with Bowland since it seems to have a pretty decent reputation and is closest to the History department. Tempted to go for Superior Ensuite but not really sure.
