Aln House, Eustace Percy Hall, Castle Leazes
My New Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any1 out there joining me? x x
I got into Blackett House, Eustace Percy Hall. Don't know what it looks like but I like the name.
Noxid
Its pretty compact, and I think you will be using the same dining hall
Really? How so?
Noxid, please could you explain how the house system works in Castle Leazes? I cant find it anywhere on the Uni site....thanks!!
Sorry, by 'house' I meant Blackett House, Coquet House etc!

I dont really understand it
I think you have "name" house which stands for your little block of rooms (to make it easier to find your room). Thats then followed by "name" hall, which is where you eat your breakfast and dinner.
I dont exactly understand it, a quick phone call through to Castle Leazes reception would probably help more than I can
Sycren
Im in Coquet House, Eustace Percy Hall , Castle Leazes, too.
House system?? Is this for sports and so on? and social events?
Does anyone have facebook?
Do you think it would be a good idea if we make a group for ppl going into newcastle this year

I dont believe that houses are used for social or sports events.
The official facebook group is Newcastle University Freshers Week 2007, which has all the official gossip on. There are a few others (most run by club promoters).
Castle Leazes has three halls, one of which is Eustace Percy, which is split into about five houses (Aln, Coquet etc). Each hall has its own dining room. Voila!
yea i got put in Wansbeck House, Eustace Percy Hall. not happy at all. I'm 22 yr old US student, and I requested Marris or Windsor because I thought that they'd be a little more calm but I got Castle Leazes instead. I'm def not looking forward to the freshman party atmosphere at Castle Leazes since I've already been through all that. Anybody know how easy it is to change accommodation? I'm going to be in a foreign country for a year with no friends or family, least they could have done was put me in my requested accommodation 
lol
lol
mtcheer!
I was in Wansbeck House last year. & I promise you, i had an amazing year. Wansbeck is (along with the "house" next door) the only self catered block. &I found the people in it were miles more down to earth than those who were catered (just a generalisation, there were some very nice people in catered blocks, however they tend to be full of 'rahs').
But i really wouldn't worry about Castle Leazes, last year i was exactly the same as you, didnt get either of my choices, sent the Uni letters because i didn't want to stay there, but they said i had no choice, so i ended up going. First off i thought it was horrilbe (because it really isnt the most attractive of places, and it has to be said i'm a bit fussy on accomodation), but after a couple of days, once all your stuffs in your room, its fine, honest.
I loved Wansbeck that much, i was in tears when it came to the end of the year! Haha It was emotional!
What room number are you?
Get to know your corridor, and then the corridors above/below/next to you, and i promise you'll end up with a good set of friends. I've met some of the most amazing group of people, and have so many great memories from my first year! Going to miss it!!
