I'm in J-P which I've been told is new Rootes.


How do you check what building? My contract gives me arrival instructions only for J-P, does that mean I'm in the new building? Or have those instructions just been used for all of Rootes

I'm not sure... Some people have been told A-I in their arrival instructions I think... So I think that means we're in the new building... Not entirely sure though...

Yes, A-I is old. J-P is new.

I'm in Rootes too! Haven't bought anything for freshers yet though. Any suggestions? And do y'all know if you're in new or old rootes?



i'm in old Rootes, Are new rootes and old Rootes separate?

Nor do I, I was just told that we don't get our number over the phone or something.
What's the shared facilities like? I'm assuming the kitchen at new rootes has newer appliances? How are the bathrooms divided?

I got into Rootes but i wanted JM. Anyway why do you want Rootes?

PROS: it's close to nearly everything, it's like being at the center of all the activities etc
CONS: no ensuite.

I'm going to the exact same events as you. Hmmm. I missed out on the freshers pass, but i have to get the freshers t-shirt before they run out this time. I'm arriving early on Saturday so i should get one.
Do we have to email the accommodation services/Warwick in general to switch which day we arrive?
