where do i find out what room i got
My.Warwick. Then under student data and then under invoices. You should be being charged for a specific room now. If not, check your details, specifically under term time address.

If you've received an offer, then no. If worst comes to the worst you'll find out the day you turn up. Technically they're allowed to re-allocate rooms right up to the point you move in, so it may be that they're still considering the best place for you. Keep checking my.warwick (my.warwick -> My student records -> My data and under 'contact address' on that page) and it should eventually show up.

What does 45.12/SH mean? [regarding room number]
It means you're in Sherbourne block 6, flat number 45, room 12
does anyone know what 01D/TO TO01D S means? i know its tocil. a friend i applied with has the same but TO01A so guessing the A/D is the room and 01 is the flat? anyone know what the S means?

From comparing the two I would guess Rootes H Block, room 54 and Rootes C block room 8? No idea if thats right though
This may be a really mundane question, but can anybody tell me how thick the duvets they provide are? (in Tocil, specifically, if that makes a difference) What tog? I have a winter and a summer duvet and I don't want to bring both. I think I brought both in my first year but that seems to long ago now.

I'm not sure on the exact tog, but they're not thick. However, most halls will have the heating on all the time (controllable by you at the radiator), so a thick one isn't required unless it's out of personal preference.

Review of Tocil (Flat 1, 2012-13)
Summary:
Ten blocks of flats varying from 6-12 people. Great location, non ensuite. Can't comment on the flatmate mix really as I applied with a group of friends (final year student) but all the strangers in the flat seem pretty nice so far. Overall impression is good
Pros:
Loads of bathrooms - Flat of 12 people has 3 bathrooms with showers, and one bathroom with a bath. This works out at one toilet between 3, which is a pretty good ratio for non-ensuite accom!
Recently refurbished (cant comment on other flats as theres sometimes variance, but everything in mine is pretty new and shiny, carpets are nice and fluffy still, etc)
Average room size - a few rooms on the end of corridors (mine
) are a bit larger as the rooms extend beyond the corridor length.Decent amount of fridge space - we had 2 large fridges and a freezer between twelve, which worked out to 1 fridge shelf and half a freezer shelf each
39 week let so no faffing with belongings at xmas and easter. also means you have more flexibility when to move or stay. this does mean its more expensive though (see cons)
Bedrooms arent cleaned - con for some people but means no annoying cleaners in the mornings
WIFI for all students!
Kitchen is pretty soundproof - good for parties! Bedrooms are not so much
Location - close to sports hall, most teaching blocks, costcutter, SU, arts centre, etc. No further than most other halls (espec 3rd year/postgrad halls) from Gibbet Hill.
Cons:
Not much cupboard space in the kitchen - one cupboard each, which isnt much for all your pots and pans, and all your food. I'm having to keep quite a bit of stuff in my room
No sinks in bedrooms. Not a massive pain, as you dont have them in houses and theres plenty of bathrooms, but it would have been nice to have one
Windows only open a little way - useful for ground floor flats as deters burglars, less ideal for fire escapes or if you are further up and your room is really warm
expensive - at 95 a week (2012-13) its pretty expensive for non-ensuite, especially as its 39 weeks
Kitchen possibly a little small for 12 people, but most are I think!
Sorry but can i ask how can u change accommodation if u wish?

There's details of how this works in the faq at http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/accommodation/studentaccommodation/general/#Living%20On%20Campus
Transfers are only open from week 3 onwards and there would need to be an ensuite room available for you to move into.
LOOKING FOR A FLATMATE FOR NEXT YEAR (2013 SEPTEMBER ONWARDS) !!
I am currently in a lovely apartment in the centre of Leam and would love to find someone to share for next year as my current flatmate will be leaving. It is double bed, centre location and right by bus stop! Also 5 min walk from tescos and near a lovely park as well as all the night life.
I love it so much but goes back on market in 3 days! Would love to find some one to share with me for next year, or failing that someone to flat share with generally.
Hope to hear from you.

Review of Jack Martin (Block 1, Kitchen 2, 2012-13)
Summary:
Four blocks in total, of flats varying from 11-13 people. Perfect location, with en-suite. Everyone you meet in the flat here will be nice people. Overall first impression is good.
Pros:
- En-Suite rooms, which means you have your own bathroom and shower, which is very convenient.
- Large room size - some of the room sizes may vary depending on which block you are in, but even the smallest rooms are large enough. Plus there is plenty of space for clothes and other things as there is a wardrobe, chest of drawers, shelves, bedside drawers and space under the bed.
- Bedrooms and bathrooms are cleaned - can be a con for some people, but it means you will have a clean bathroom/bedroom.
- WI-FI for all students! (Newly installed 2012/2013 year)
- Kitchen - pretty soundproof and very large - amazing place to host kitchen parties. Also cupboard space is far from minimal, we each get 1 floor cupboard, 1 drawer and 1 wall cupboard.
- Location - very close to sports hall, some/most teaching blocks, Costcutter, Students Union, Arts Centre, etc. Closer to everything in comparison to other halls, all in all, a very good location.
- Very friendly because it is layed out in 3 corridors per floor, per block. (The blocks are 'Z' shaped, so each corridor [each kitchen] is 90 degrees to each other.)
- Key entry, plus only 1 lockable door between the front door and kitchen (therefore more sociable), but the kitchen door is lockable. Some people might say this is a con, however the front door is automatically closing and locking.
Cons:
- Not masses of fridge/freezer space, we only get half a shelf in the fridge and half a shelf in the freezer. We have found this a pain in the fridge, but not really an issue in the freezer.
- Expensive - at £131 per week (2012-13) its pretty expensive for en-suite, however it is only 30 week lets, so £3930 per year.
- 30 week let can be annoying if you are an international student or really hate packing at the end of each term. However they do give you a moderately sized lockable cupboard in your room to keep items over the holidays, and international students get dibs on putting their belongings in a communal lockable cupboard.
- Quite a long walk to Westwood and the Post Room (near Westwood). But, it does take less than 10 minutes to get to Tesco and Cannon Park Shopping Centre.

Hey people. Has anyone tried to transfer to the bluebell blocks on campus? I've been waiting for weeks now, still no reply. Anyone had better luck than myself?

Hey guys, if you're living in Sherbourne, I'm just wondering if it would be possible for you to give a review of how you have found the first month or so in the newest halls on campus. What's the atmosphere like? How is dealing with the massive walk from Tesco? All that stuff.
If you haven't seen them already, could you do it in the same style as the hall reviews in the Warwick Accommodation Thread?
Basically:
A rough idea of location within Sherbourne
Summary:
Pros:
Cons:
If you do I'll buy a random stranger at Pop a drink next week and hopefully the gesture will make its way around campus. Either that or some day I'll leave a note with a smiley face on it in your post box on campus.

EXAMPLE HERE
(edited 11 years ago)
Block: Sherbourne 6, Flat 47
Summary: Overall, I love Sherbourne. Buildings are so nice and modern looking - feels like a hotel. Ensuite is always good, so is 39 week let.
Downside is the walk into main campus though.
Pros:
Ensuite - So convenient. You never have to wait to use the bathroom, and can spend as long in the shower as you want. Like the fact I can personalise it, it's YOUR bathroom Plus I hate the idea of stalls, and being in the shower when you know someone is using the toilet next to you!
39 week - Don't have to move your stuff out at the end of each term
Modern - Nicest buildings on campus in my opinion. Like I said before, it's basically a hotel! Lifts and everything! No stained carpets or damp on the ceiling like in some of the older ones. Although not everything works properly just yet, but should be fine by next year.
Flats - These are great cause you get to know the people you live with, we're like a family . Each flat to me is like a little house - great for moving away from home for the first time. Plus I don't think I could get away with wandering around in my pjs all day in other accomadations.
Cupboard/fridge space - You must get the most space out of all the accomadations! I get 2 shelves in the fridge, 2 large cupboards and a drawer. Compare that to Westwood where you only have half a shelf in the fridge and one small cupboard. Kitchens are big, yet shared by few people so thre's always a surface you can use and no one gets in anyone's way.
Price - Very reasonable I think, £117 a week. Considering it's basically the same as Bluebell you'll save yourself so much money by picking here instead.
Soundproofed rooms - Very handy, you can make as much noise as you want!
Cons:
Location - It is pretty far away. Takes me 15 minutes to get to lectures (in the maths bulding) and to the SU. Convinient for business though.
Quietness - I suppose it could be considered to be a little unsociable, compared to Rootes and that. We don't really know that many other people in Sherbourne outside our flat. The fact that flat doors are locked probably doesn't help. So I guess if you're a bit of a party animal and want to meet lots and lots of people in your accomodation then that might be annoying.
Room size - Slightly smaller than the average room, but not cramped or anything.
Kitchen - Don't get me wrong, the kitchen is great, everything is state of the art, but the hobs and ovens are very annoying! The oven seems to cook things too quickly, and all the settings are strange and not the same as on normal ovens. Hobs are electric, which I hate as they take so long to heat up and adjusting temperature quickly (e.g. when boiling pasta) is pretty much impossible.
Lots of international students - This sounds very racist lol, I mean some of them are lovely, but some won't really want to socialise with the rest of the flat, making friends from their own country instead. Which is a bit of a shame.
This is the only picture it'll let me upload:
