All of the halls are nice and social, are you looking for catered or self-catered?

Are you staying in JFH next year Sweetfloss?

I will do either really.

I was catered in Owens Park, Manchester Uni last year (which is amazing- even though I'm leaving) so was hoping to do self-catered this time. But the prices for catered are only a little bit higher than self-catered, so any is fine :smile:

That rules out John foster then! You're looking at Beaumont or Digby or GMS.

I do like the look of Beaumont to be honest.

How sociable is it? I want some fun again, and to meet cool people and to have A FEW BEERS :smile:

hehe

Help anyone?
Does anyone know if I need to bring bedding and a duvet?
Im staying ensuite self-catered at John Foster.
In the joining letter it says that they are provided for ensuite rooms, but in the accomodation booklet it says they're provided for ensuite catered rooms only.
Anyone else confused by this? Or am I missing something and being incredibly stupid? :P

I'm taking both, even if they are provided I can't imagine they'll be in a good condition.

Hey. After you've sent back the letter accepting/declining your accommodation offer, do the University send back any form of acknowledgment that they're received it and they are happy with it? I'm a little worried because the letter stated that there was a deadline for my reply (26th August) and I think that my reply would have ended up getting to them late (I only had one day to respond if it were to reach them on time??). I'm not too sure what to expect, I hope my offer hasn't been canceled or anything. Thanks..

Nothing is provided utensil wise. There'll be a kettle (but no toaster!) and that's about it.

Don't worry about buying anything else too much until you get there; if you need it (and your flatmates haven't brought it!) you can nip into asda and buy it then :smile:
