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

Was you accommodation specified as Old Rootes? I just got Rootes, I assumed it could mean either one.

If you click on the 'inventory' section of your accommodation contract, it specifies whether you're in blocks 'A-I' or 'J-M' (I think it's M, but it doesn't matter). The latter is New Rootes, the former Old (or so we've been led to believe)

When moving in, the Warwick website says people with names A-L pick up keys etc on the 29th... and people with names M-Z pick up keys etc on the 30th... My surname begins with S, does this mean I HAVE to go on the 30th, or can I pick keys etc up on the 29th?

I'm undecided although it seems like quite a few people on the facebook group have got the passports! I think I'll probably end up waiting but get the paint party ticket in advance because apparently it sells out really quickly!

The passports have sold out!

The fresher passports?

What does it mean if you dont have one?

Hey does anyone know what the tv signal in bluebell is like? i'm thinking of bringing one with a small separate aerial.

stupid question but do you get a chair for your desk lol

I was just looking on my accommodation's facebook page and someone said that rooms are allocated on a first come, first serve basis which doesn't make a lot of sense to me because I was told on the open day that they organise corridors/flats so that there's a gender balance, a good balance of home/international students and a range of courses! Just wondering if anyone knows whether that's true because it seems a little strange!

I stayed at Westwood last year. In the room, we were given 1 pillow with fitted cover, 1 mattress with fitted cover, 1 thin duvet with fitted cover AND a thin blanket and those were enough to keep me warm during the winter.
