The Warwick Accommodation Thread (+Guide in Post#1)

Ahhh, I got the email confirming my application. The choices are all white blanks.

That happen to other people too? Just checking it's nothing to be worried about.

What patch of land and short-cut is this? As far as I know there are only a few signs around saying something like 'please keep noise levels to a minimum between 12 and 8am' but I am not sure where you mean...



Heronbank is slightly cheaper which (I think) is the only real factor separating the two.

Really? thats the only thing?.. hmm.. how sociable are the ppl there?

Just as long as we don't get a single-sex area, eh?

hey! i am an international student and i have accepted last year an unconditional offer to study acc and finance at Warwick this year (deferred entry). i really like a 39 week because moving things around will be mess! so i am thinking of lakeside or heronbank but i cannot differentiate the two! any opinions? choosing arthur vick as second option (eventhough not 39 week) and third Tocil,will mean that if they do not offer me my first preference,then my 4th will be offered?!
thanks in advance!

There have been cases where JM, Tocil, Rootes have been put at 1, 2 and 3 and then Rootes was offered as accommodation. It depends on luck (generally 'losing out' in the Heronbank draw, AV already being full and Tocil already being full).

Well they allocated final year undergraduate accommodation in December - there have been 5 months since people have been applying to the waiting list so chances are slim. Why not email Warwick accommodation for their opinions? They would have better knowledge of how long the list is at the moment.

just got an email from them...they said theres 60 ppl on the waiting list...so im guessing the situation will become clearer once exam results come in or something?

Right, get on the waiting list anyway, but I'd say that you should keep searching for other accommodation in the time being. In other words you need 60 people to fail to get 40% or something.

The sooner you get on it, the fewer people who can get infront of you.

yah, i applied couple of days ago...so maybe im 55th or something xD think exam results come back for most ppl around mid july right?

I'm thinking of the path which links the Cryfield Cottages with Heronbank.
When I went there, I thought the sign said it was out of bounds between those times, but I can't remember the exact wording, so the idea of a total ban could be a complete exaggeration!

The path from main campus? Yeah there is no ban, you are free to go pretty much wherever you like whenever you like so long as you don't make any noise doing so at night

If you put Rootes as #1 then will you pretty much get it?

If you put Rootes as #1 then will you pretty much get it?

Not necessarily. I know a whole bunch of people who put Rootes first and live somewhere else. One of my flatmates is a case in point.

However, if you don't put it then you won't get it, so it makes sense to put it as first choice.

how big is this bunch exactly? and did your roomie put Warwick as their firm or insurance?
