Totally forgot to take pictures and my room/kitchen/common room all look like bomb sites already, so maybe when I move out :P

Has anyone got any idea how many people apply to Benefactors? And what are the rooms like?

Same here. Well my room is ok but it is amazing how many dirty plates and stuff one kitchen can aqquire in the space of a day or two.

Do international students get on-campus accommodation ? Like in University of Manchester.. If you are an international student you will get accommodation guaranteed. Same case for warwick? I hope ?

No idea how many apply but as others have said, the rooms are pretty huge. If you share you get 2 floors to 2 people. Good going. Very funky and you have a massive common room as well. Go for it I say.

Yeah, that was my reasoning too. Plus its cheaper. And I'd still get time to myself cos its not like my roomie and I would both be stuck in there together ALL the time. The photos look really nice on the site. Guess its just a matter of getting lucky with who you share with...

Everyone is guaranteed on-campus accommodation in their first year, international student or not. Nobody at all gets it second year, with third year it seems to be a bit of a lucky dip if you apply, not sure if they prioritise international students but I wouldn't have thought so.

If you're a finalist international student you're guaranteed campus accomodation. Everyone else lucky dip. If you're disabled you can stay on campus all 3 years.

Call me thick, but why is that exactly?

Lucky dip as in theres few places compared to applicants and the places are allocated at (or apparently at) random.

I know what lucky dip means. I just don't fully understand why international students get first dibs, so to speak.

Some of them pay 4x more fees! I guess their parents may also be more concerned or bothered about them living in a random house that isnt ran by the uni as they are in a different country too.

Got back from the open day. The room i was shown (Claycroft) was tiny! Is this representative of JM and Rootes rooms? Also, the tour guide (lol) told us there was a bit of a problem with theft at Cryfields? Anything for me to be worried about...?

...and on a slightly random note, what is BC international freight? They were just thrusting freebies into our hands lol, and im not one to turn down free stuff :rolleyes:

Also: am i rite in guessing your an economist mango? I have a notoriously poor memory...(i have some questions)

I don't know how small Claycroft rooms apart from that they are smaller than Rootes. (The website tells me 3.9 x 2.5 for Claycroft whereas it is 4.5 x 2.9 for Rootes) My Rootes room is big enough. Room for two people to sleep on the floor.

I just took some photos to illustrate. Excuse the mess. Spur of the moment photographs.
