To be fair, the worst you can get is Westwood (if you don't apply there, that is), and I got that this year (sharing a single room at first), and it really isn't that bad. So it doesn't matter, you'll have an awesome time anywhere!!
I look forward to seeing this years comments on "I GOT WESTWOOD, I DIDNT EVEN APPLY". Ha! I was just happy they didn't give me my last choice which was for a flat, I seriously changed my mind about that as soon as I clicked submit!
I know. Same every year... hehe. Ho hum, us oldies are here to guide the freshlets through another phase of denial...
Yeah, I remember about 2/3 people from Westwood coming and writing pretty long posts about why Westwood was great! It convinced me, although a lot of people were still not that happy with it!
Well I was slightly mollified, but pissed off at having to share a single room. Still, turned out that I'm now best mates with my ex roomie, so I guess I had a bit of good luck for once.

Ah yea, that's the only thing that got me. Although I never had to share! But I wasn't too sure whether I would be . When I got to WW and saw my room (the half one) I kinda figured I wouldn't be sharing
so there's a chance I might be sent off to westwood and have to share a toilet with another 26 people??? YAY (no offense to all you westwooders) but I think I'll pass for that and go and live in leamington
Someone tried it once. They put him there. I reckon they use an automatic computer filter to search for buzz words. Like 'westwood' --> "Place in westwood" pile.
I might have some on my other computer which doesnt have internet access at the mo... I'll try and remember to come back to this thread next week when it does
Oh, and search the threads because I know that people have put up photos of their halls. My ones will probably be there as well actually.
Thanks, look forward to seeing them.
For anyone else after photos, there are a couple of old treads with some photos in here and here.
Can i just ask about Whitefields they look really tiny but are meant to have like 12 bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen etc how on earth do they all fit in are the rooms like miniscule?

Its actually really big once you go inside! I was surprised myself because you're right from the outside they look really little but you go in and its pretty massive
You'd be suprised how many papers you need. Thankfully we get them cheaper on campus. Guardian has the most paper on the day, and we had about 6 of them
Whitefields has rooms that are strange shapes too so that might be how they manage to fit the rooms in.
I know of a few people who put Westwood down on thier forms but are living in Rootes. Oh the madness of Warwick accomodation. I often think that it doesn't matter what you put on your form as they will ignore you.
