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

Are there any pictures of Cryfield? Apart from whats on warwicks home page, as I keep hearing about how small the rooms are!

Warwick are ripping us off big time! I wanted to apply for three 30 week accommodations, but 3 out of 4 of those are en suite - and you can only choose one en suite! This means I could get a 39 week accommodation that ISN'T en suite, which would be awful No point in a 39 week accommodation - I wouldn't stay in Warwick mainly because it's not near any decent cities (I massive cities anyway though, so even then I wouldn't stay), plus I want to see my family

See here for the annual prices for each accommodation.

The prices may have changed since I posted them in March - but Cryfields is cheapest if you plan on saving money, then the next 3 cheapest are 39 week lets (with Benefactors £110 a year more expensive as the fifth cheapest overall and 2nd cheapest 30 week let).

I'm thinking
1. Tocil
2. Rootes
3. Cryfield/Claycroft

Any opinions? I heard Claycroft is quiet and out of the way.. But is it so bad that I should pick Cryfield?

Also could someone please enlighten me on whether the toilets are shared between both sexes.. Just wanted to be.. umm.. mentally prepared.. haha =)

Thanks so much =)

Made my decision.........JM, Tocil & Rootes.
In the yes/No question of: Do you want a quiet area? If I have answered No (have i goofed??), but in my statement I have showed my clear preference towards having my own space etc. How good are my chances for the first choice (JM)?
Dosen't quiet area mean within your hall of residence OR does it mean quieter campus areas like Tocil, Lakeside, Claycroft etc. Should I change my reply?? I am confused.
Can anyone guess & chance my most probable accommodation?

Ye, i'd like to see some too.

The pictures on the website are mainly jsut the outside of each of the accomodations and one of the bedroom

I still haven't applied! I can't decide between Rootes and Cryfield for my first choice.. And if I choose Rootes are there any areas I should avoid? Like ground floor or a room next to the kitchen or something?

Still don't have a clue what to go for and the deadline for applying is in a few days time.

Ideally, I would prefer to have an en suite and of those, Jack Martin would be my choice, but the regular comments I see cropping up about all en suite halls lacking the social qualities concern me quite a bit.

I hear nothing but great things about Rootes, but I'm not sure about that either. Sounds like you're pretty much guaranteed a good social life but at the same time, I'm not exactly the type of person that wants to be socialising 24-7. I wouldn't want to be "partying" every single night. And sharing a kitchen with 15 or more people sounds like an absolute nightmare.

Basically, I'm a moderate. I want to make friends through accommodation and socialise quite a bit, but not excessively. I thought Tocil might suit me, but according to the accommodation site, the rooms don't have wash basins, which would frustrate me. Plus, I'd probably prefer halls to flats.

Ugh...still clueless

Woot, those are the three halls that I've applied to (although in the reverse order to which you mentioned them)

How much is it to use the washing machines? My mum said normally you can pay £6 for 1 cycle at a laundrette!
