I have been at UEA nearly a year now and the campus is fantastic. Especially now as the weather has been amazing, everyone sits in the square or on the grass by the lake to revise or chill, its brilliant.

Hey folks,

Kirsty here - planning to be at UEA in September for American Studies (snap kat_monkey! It's cool to know someone who'll be on the same course. The Year Abroad is gonna be amazing!).

Though it may be a bit more awkward to get to than, say, Sheffield, where my brother is at uni and can get a direct coach to, I had a great feeling about the department and Norwich is lovely, so I can't wait!

Applied for accommodation today, after a couple of failed attempts at registering. Hoping to get ensuite campus. Has anyone else applied for accommodation yet?

Hope to see you all in the Autumn!

Kirsty

Hello! did you get my private message before you went to Washington DC? dont worry if not lol wasnt important, hope you had a nice time!
Ive just applied for accomodation, mine failed once too, when i was putting the order of accomodation i had to go through it all again tuh!

which one is the best out of the ones gemma listed

Browne House - Where I live so clearly the best :p:

A bit away from the main parts of campus but not too much of a walk. Backs on to a reasonably busy road, but that's no big deal. Crap TV & mobile signal on one side, okish signal on the other. 60 rooms, 6 flats. Pretty much all international and gap year students.

Kett house - Near Browne house, smallest block on campus. International students mostly as far as I'm aware.

Victory House - woo hoo, yeah thats where i live.

Paston House - Quite a large block, runs parallel to University drive, but it's a bit set back from the road so traffic noise shouldn't be too bad.

Britten House - Newest block on campus - they've just finished building it so if you get a room at the end near Victory/Browne you'll be the first in your room, otherwise second, so still very new.

Constable terrace - Right over the other side of campus compared to most accomodation, but it's right near most departments so quite handy there. Bigger room sizes than the brand new accomodation, but the kitchens are a bit smaller. I think this accomodation is approx 10 years old now. Fully ensuite still.

Nelson Court - Same as Constable, but a stones throw away from the LCR/Union Pub :biggrin:

Also very close to the Lecture Theatres/Library. PieMaster lived there last year and could get a half decent TV signal (enough for freeview). Only downside I can think of for this accomodation is that you get pretty much everyone coming out from the Pub/LCR late at night. Not sure how much of this you hear in the rooms though.

Colman - Biggest of the new blocks of accomodation. Fairly close to the main parts of campus (i.e. the LCR).

With Colman/Browne/Victory/Kett/Paston you're looking leaving 10-15min before a lecture to get there in a comfortable time, about 5-10min for Nelson, not sure about Constable.

I don't think any particular accomodation is definitely the 'best', but Nelson is close to everything and has the largest rooms.

I am looking for accomdoation which is close to lectures and the library and shops and also accomodation wher eI dont have to hear loud people from pub lol. Which one is best?

Probably looking at Norfolk/Suffolk terrace (on campus non-ensuite) for that.

I need ensuite aswell btw phil haha

Probably Constable then - very close to most departments and a fairly short walk to the library. Also because it's a bit out the way you shouldn't have many people heading back from the pub (except the people who live there, obviously)
