I want info about Telford Hall!!!!

Telford - sporty, lots of gap year students, very small hall (I think the smallest) but, as you rightly said, very much in demand due to its position. For your subject, really both halls are pretty good location - Bill Mo is nice inside, new, but out of the village. Depends if you are looking to keep to yourself or be a party animal?

Nah it doesn't mean mature - well they will have had a one year break usually - so 19. Its just full of them because they are generally deferred entry so can get first choice.

It's a different set of people in halls each year. A socially vibrant hall this year maybe not be so vivacious the year after. Anywhichway, the halls all have good entertainment value, and not too much to distinguish them (Elvyn sucks though :P Kidding!)

Saying that, I would base you're choice on criteria like location, price, unite/imago, room types? etc etc. Stuff that's constant.

Finally, If I was in your position I would choose Harry French.

You're right, there's next to no information on Telford. I don't know why. It might have something to do with us being a small hall maybe. I'm in Telford this year. It's small, but trust me it's lively enough. I think the people who have been elected next years comittee will want to make sure it stays that way too.

If you're into sports its quite a good choice, seeing as there are a lot of sporty people about and loads of things to get involved with. If you're not though don't worry, I'm not into sports at all and I'm managing.

William Morris is fairly close to the union if you run out of milk or wanna get a few Strongbows in or something, but they recently opened a little mini-mart and takeaway just behind Telford to replace one that burnt down last summer that stocks pretty much everything you'd want from a convenience store. It's really proving to be quite handy.

If you read the accomodation guide and it tries to tell you Telford has a recently refurbished common room, don't listen! It's all lies! The pool table is torn, the table football doesn't work (I don't think...) and it's generally a bit of a mess. But I wouldn't worry too much, because a) no one spends time in common rooms generally, it's all just a "lets pile in so-and-sos room/kitchen" job and b) I think the comittee were working on redoing it. Not sure how far they took that.

As a hall, it's quite nicely arranged. There are generally quite a few blocks of around 10, 11 or 12 people (I'm in one of these). I wouldn't say these were QUIET, but they are a lot more personal. Which I really like to be honest with you. There are a couple of really big blocks with three stories and around 10 (someone correct me if I'm wrong) people on each floor. But it's not a case of being from a block and staying in it constantly. There is an incredible ammount of "inter-block" mingling, and your Students Union card will get you into anyone's block until 10:30 at night.

I'm not sure what IMBS is... But location-wise Telford is a pretty solid choice. Not too far from the union at all, not far from the library and you're within shouting distance of the friends you make in the Student Village. Oh, and the EHB is only down the road, which is a great place to unwind playing a game of pool (with GOOD tables, not like the common room, and I think it's only about 60p) and grab a burger and a Blackthorn. The burgers are actually really good. I'm doing Industrial Design and Technology, and it's still not far from the Bridgeman centre, probably about a 10 to 15 minuite walk depending on how I'm feeling. Luffs gym is only a stones throw away as well (literally under a minuite walk from my block).

Room sizes... Well I've only been in the ensuite blocks, but they're pretty decent if you ask me. I'd say my room is bigger than my friends over a William Morris, even if their en-suites are bigger (and a tad nicer if I'm honest) than ours. Kitchens are big enough. (It'd be nice if people cleaned up after themselves, but I wouldn't say that's a Telford only problem )

Overall, a small hall, but quite close knit. Good location. I think I've covered most things. Feel free to ask anything else.

Saying that, I would base you're choice on criteria like location, price, unite/imago, room types? etc etc. Stuff that's constant.

I always wondered about the 2 companies/providers. Does your hall provider make a difference in any ways?

The only thing I can say about Telford Hall, is that when I watched the Fresher's Fortnight videos on the union website they seemed to be the loudest and most drunk.

The song "BARMY ARMY TELFORD HALL" goes through my head every day for some reason, which is quite annoying!

A sign?
I swear telford have no bant.... Anyone agree?
