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

Given the fact that just about everybody (on TSR at least) seems to want to be in AV and JM, is there any point of putting an ensuite down if it's not your first choice? Because I was toying with the idea of putting Rootes first, then JM, then somewhere else, but am worried that if I did that then JM would effectively be a waste of a choice (considering many people will put it as their first choice and still not end up there).

If you put an ensuite as your second choice then the chances of you getting that are minimal. If you couldn't get into your first choice, you'd most likely end up at your third/fourth choice, or in Westwood. Basically, if you want ensuite, put it as your first choice.

Where can I fin updated prices as everything on the accomodation website is still for 09/10 X

AV is quieter than JM, that's pretty much accepted by anyone. The stereotypes are generally exaggerated though, whilst it might be the quietest accommodation block on campus, you won't get an unsociable corridor unless you're really unlucky. Even then you can explore and meet people in other corridors. I didn't find that the wardens were that strict to be honest.. if you don't annoy them on purpose then there shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm leaning more towards JM now, this is a silly question but are the kitchens clean generally? Someone told me JM isn't so clean but tbh the only bit I care is clean is the kitchen.

It depends on how clean the people are . I think all kitchens in all halls get cleaned every morning Monday to Friday (at least they did in AV), but I'm not entirely sure.

hey, i am looking for the cheapest accomodation possible, but at the same time i dont want it to be unbeliveably tiny and totally far away or completely unsociable. I can pay few more pounds a week if that would make some noticeable difference. What's my best shot?
I can see that Cryfields is the chepeast one. What is it like?
Also, 39weeks rent period means that we're paying for the room during the christmas or easter break when generally we're not at the uni but just back home?

This has changed now. Think it is Monday Wednesday Friday.

Needless to say I doubt the prices went down to reflect this saving they made on staffing...

i want to have 39 weeks - i will be going home. but i don't want to have to take EVERYTHING home with me which will include my dad coming up for christmas and easter as opposed to me taking some clothes home and leaving my room as it is. is that ok to do or whatt?

am i able to rent for 39 weeks but leave my room empty for the holidays except my belongings (that i don't need for the holidays) there
