Hi,
Address for Rootes - is there a way of knowing whether it's new or old Rootes from the letters?
Thanks.

I don't know the Rootes address format, but if there is a block letter included then A-I is old Rootes (although I is a little different since it's International House), and J-P is new Rootes.

For Claycroft specifically they used to make sure it was same gender (because of the unusual 2 per bathroom set-up), but they may have changed that to make it easier to allocate people.

Saying that, the accommodation page does warn of a specific circumstance when Claycroft bathrooms may be mixed gender (postgrads who don't ask for single gender flats), which reads like that isn't the norm. Probably best to email to check what they plan to do for allocating next year.

Hi, if you're interested in off-campus accommodation, I have a room at The Oaks for next year that I need a replacement tenant for. The accommodation is £202/wk (bills included) for 45 weeks, or £198 for 51 weeks, which is cheaper than a few of the on campus en-suite accommodations and has free gym, study spaces, cinema/game rooms. It's about 20 minutes from central campus and from Cannon Park. Deposit is £250 (refunded at the end of tenancy). My room is bronze en-suite, shared kitchen.
