Cryfield - a kitchen normally abt 10 ppl, bathroom normally 12-ish. Sounds like a lot, but there are LOTS OF BATHROOMS AND TOILETS, i.e. about 8 actual toilets and 6 showers/baths on each floor, meaning technically ur sharing toilets and bathrooms between abt 3-4 ppl.
Kitchens are literally MASSIVE, and you never feel squashed (unless ppl from other places use your kitchen!!)

My floor in rootes has 2 toilets, 2 showers and 1 bathroom (which nobody ever uses - except for the full length mirror which is quality!).

There are 12 of us on our floor - so that's 6 to a toilet. We have the warden on our floor too though... on some floors there are more people to a toilet. It's never a problem though cuz everyone gets up at different times etc!
Here's something those slags in accomodation don't tell you: TV's dont work in Arthur Vick rooms, you need to connect them in your kitchen through this external aerial socket or summit like that. We all brought TV's like mugs in the first term and were left with terrestrial egg on our faces. I'm pretty sure that goes for all accomodations but I haven't really asked around.

Is that good enough for the guide Mr aza484?!?!
I'm in Jack Martin and my tv didn't work in my room either :frown: A few people get some reception along my corridor (I think they have very good indoor aerials), but the picture quality isn't very good at all. I don't really miss my tv much though, we have one in the kitchen which is fine :smile: Plus at least you don't have to pay as much for a tv license!

don't work in westwood either, only in the common room.

Its all about being sociable really. The only thing I know of that people watch at uni is Neighbours, for some reason that is way beyond me.

Yeah, we have a TV, it's only used for multiplayer games (PES, but I don't play as I'm crap and don't like football!) but not actually for TV other than Neighbours!

Yeah, it's true, I'm not really bothered about TV at uni, that's not really what it's about! So I don't think the lack of reception should effect my choice at all.

I keep myself busy enough to not even notice the lack of TV, even though when Im at home I could quite happily sit infront of it all day. There's always work to be done, and for me the rest of the time is divided between ultimate frisbee, being a music critic for the Boar (the student newspaper), getting very drunk and playing my guitars.

who needs TV?!

Plus... you can get Channel 4 for free online, and apparently it's gonna be the same for ITV by this March I think. You can't get some American/foreign programmes though. I only watch the news to be honest, a few of times a week maybe... have it on if I'm doing a bit of work in the evening or whatever.
I still watch TV. Don't see anything wrong with watching it at uni.
Reply 78
Yeah, since you can get a lot of tv channels on the internet now there's less need for a television. So if there's ever anything I reeally want to watch then there's always that!
I have to say I far prefer radio anyway.
Reply 79
I miss MTV and all the new stuff- Uni is about getting addicted to a series of something and watching it on your laptop. Favourites: 24, family guy, futurama, deal or no deal, pirate porn :smile: etc
