Moatside?

You see the brick arch, just to the right of the Hogshead pub with a small oval metal plaque?

That arch doubles as enterance to Moatside and deliveries for the pub. The oval plaque reads "Moatside Court"

I presume so, but don't know for certain.

It doesn't look quite as bad as I'd imagined it to be, after all the "complaints" about it. Or is this the good part? And of course; one shouldn't judge from the outside... :biggrin:

It looks worse on the other side of the arch, thats just the front for the civilised people in the street. :frown:

can some one please unconfuddle me... is 1st year single room accomidation 'generally' only avalible in moatside and owen gate??

and once these allusive accomidation forms turn up.. should i be well advised to go for owen gate before moatside.. or do i risk the chance that moatside has been done up over the summer??

oh decisions decisions! xpx

There is also Bailey Court. The rooms are slightly larger than moatside and you are in a quieter area, i.e. just off palace green rather than just behind a pub. They also have internet connections, but they may have installed them in moatside by now.

All this talk accomodation baffles me. I bet when the forms come out everyone is going to be frantically sharing their choices on the forums.

btw, what do the forms actually say? I know they've got lots of strange questions, but does anyone (*cough*dave*cough*) know what they actually say? Hehe.. I'm excited.
