The Junxion

First year try your hardest to get onto the onsite student village. It might look a state but that is what will make or break uni for you, there's the other 2 years to go into posh cardboard buildings with big tv's, the first year is about going out there and getting drunk, you won't get that opportunity again!

Anyone living/moving in here. What's the place like? From the pictures and description i've seen on the site, it looks really good. Anyone have anything to say about it?
Is there car parking? How much is rent? Is it suitable for first year students?

Don't live here. I'm serious, the place is a ****ing joke. Nobody has had usable internet for weeks, they cut our bandwith every week or so and it takes about half an hour to load google. They rip you off at every ****ing corner. It says in the contract 'power showers' LIES they broke into everyones rooms over christmas and turned down the pressure so it's just a trickle (and broke my shower in the process, which they deny, meaning I'm being charged for it :mad:

) it's just not worth it. Try and get into the student village!

nah the walls are cardboard, will just soak it in, then you can live japanese style and walk through them as if they are doors like on the simpsons.

Living in the student village is not the be all and end all people! Think how bad she's gonna feel if she doesnt get in there now? Yea its probably the best place for your first year, but you will still make friends wherever you get put... although if you dont get into the student village, brayford quay is probably the second best place for the price, location, what you get etc.. plus, the showers are amazing, you can actually fit 5 people in one!
I dont really rate the junxion, the living room/kitchen always seem really bare and not very homely..

lol five ppl!

well she will get in if shes applied this early but if not like pretty says there is other places to live and brayford quays is proberly the next best place!

and the junxion is a bit bear but thats what you have to change, you can put posters up etc to make it homley, unless your a man and make beer walls :biggrin:
