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

I'm just wondering how long can guests stay over for in Halls if a friend were to come visit?

Let's put it this way - there was a room where they had someone staying over for pretty much the entire academic year. People did complain about them using up all the resources in the kitchen and the resident tutor did promise to do something about it but nothing ever happened.

Where did that happen?
I hope I haven't applied there

Westwood. But it wasn't that bad as the kitchen was designed for 26 people. We all just found it a bit strange and slightly annoying. A bigger concern was that we suspected that group of people for being responsible for stealing people's food.

So I firmed my unconditional offer today, as I saw the accommodation is now available to apply for. Afterwards and several times since I have tried to register to apply, but when I put in my family name/DOB/UCAS ID, it says that they have not recognised me and I can't get further.

It tells me to email the accommodation people at Warwick, which I did but of course they are out of office for easter.

Has anyone had this happen? I really want to get this accommodation sorted, but obviously can't. Is it just a case of waiting a few more days until the uni have.. I don't know... realised i've accepted the offer and put me onto some kind of system? Or should it already be available for me to do, and is this some kind of weird problem that needs sorting?

Thanks!

I've just filled mine in now... where have people applied/where are you thinking of applying? My preferences were:

Jack Martin
Tocil
Cryfield
Westwood
Lakeside

I'm getting excited now!

hiii sorry if this has already been asked, but do you have to apply for accomodation if you've put warwick as your insurance? it sort of implies it but i'm not too sure.

Depends on what your preferences are basically

If you hate to party then Rootes probably isn't for you, if you do Biology (as you do) then Westwood probably isn't for you as it is on the opposite side of campus. On a budget? Stay away from the 39 week en suites.

There are a number of factors you must consider when you choose your halls, these include price, location, atmosphere of the hall, the quality of the facilities, the size of the room, the sharing situation, how long the let is, along with many more. So my question to you is, what do you look for in a hall? Do you have a budget? Do you prefer really lively, really quiet or somewhere in between? Do you want a 30 week let, or 37/39? Do you want en suite? etc...

Me personally rate location quite highly, and as such my preferences would involve halls that are nearer the Maths department, but then other factors will take over. For example, I would choose JM first because it is en suite and I can afford it, and socially I think it is better than AV. Rootes and Tocil will come next, Tocil because of its location and Rootes because I prefer more social halls.

hey , seems you know alot about the uni.
Can you tell me the accommodation in close proximity of the law dept and the B-school coz my course involves both? Preferably 30 weeks en suite. money no probs. Any type of social setting, i'll take care of it.

Hey the tall one,

where do all the bankers (economic etc students) stay? 'accommodation wise?

Does anyone on here know much about lakeside? I noticed it is quite a bit more expensive than some of the other halls, is it worth the extra cost?

Check the guide at the front of the thread for the opinion of Lakeside - you pay for the en suite and the low sharing ratios. Paying the extra 9 weeks (over a 30 week ensuite) or the extra £20-30/week (compared to a 39 week non-ensuite let) is your choice. Do you need 39 weeks? Do you prefer an en suite?
