Cheaper UEA accomodation comparison

Hi everybody, I'm applying for an accommodation but I have some questions/concerns.

What are the main differences between:
- En suit twin
- Standard Twin Ziggurat
- Standard Campus

How many times per week will the housekeeper clean the room, toilets, change the bed sheets?

Is it possible to pay the housekeeper to clean more days per week?

How many people will share the shower and toilets?

Where there is more fun? like pre-drinks.

Thaks a lot!

Standard campus you have a sink in your room but will share a bathroom with others

standard twin ziggurat- there are two people to a room (normally 2 types of this room per ziggurat flat)

ensuite twin- I think is two people per flat sharing a bathroom

The cleaners will come in once a week to clean the toilets, give the kitchen a wipe down and your sink and empty your bin. they DO NOT change your sheets- you're an adult it is therefore your responsibility to keep your room clean, the kitchen clean and change your sheets.

It is not possible to pay them to do more days a week- they are contracted by the accommodation office and have plenty of flats to clean.

In the ziggurats there were 3 toilets and 2 showers between 14. In other accommodation it varied from 2-4-8-10

The ziggurats are reputed as the party flats. The village is also quite social.

why is en suit twin so cheap (the cheapest) if there's a private bathroom (just two people are sharing it)?

It's uni, not a fekking hotel. I can't think of a single Uni where the cleaners clean anything but the kitchen and toilets, grow up.

It's really up to you. You need to make the decision :smile:

eg. Do you want to be in a bunk bed with a stranger but paying the lowest rent?
