All the rooms are larger than the average single study bedrooms as well, with each room having a vanity area, with washbasin and mirror above.
As mentioned earlier, these halls feature kitchenettes instead of kitchens. This is because St Elizabeth’s is catered accommodation. When living here you will receive a weekly catering allowance on your campus card.

Hi there, I'm interested in knowing more about the Beech Glade option which quotes: Shared Facilities Bedroom: 28.2 Week Contract for a total of £5,003.80 (20/21 academic year). I'm quite an anxious person so I'd prefer to be at Beech Glade, I read somewhere it was designated as a quiet hall? Could you please outline what a 28.2 week contract would cover? I would be studying for a masters.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
Hello!
those were the prices for the 20/21 academic year, they may be change for the 21/22 year, I'm still waiting from some confirmation from the housing team before this is updated.
You read that correctly, Beech Glade is currently designated as a quiet hall. However, all of the accommodations have a quiet area, which have slightly different rules about noise levels.
The contract for Beech Glade is 28.2 weeks as it is not possible to live in the halls over the holiday periods, rooms will need to be emptied during these periods. Beech Glade is catered accommodation as well, so included with this is a smart card that will be loaded with credit each week, this will equate to approximately 14 meals a week from University catering outlets. Rooms in Beech Glade are slightly larger than the average room with a mirror and wash basin. These rooms also feature a communal kitchenette and bathroom facilities as well.
In terms of being a postgraduate student in accommodation, there is more information on that here:

Hello,
The self contained flats are priced for 2021 as £9,117 for the 1 bed and £ 10,080 for the 2 bed. The flats themselves are limited at west downs and usually reserved for students with families. So if you are a solo applicant, I would advise having a strong 2nd choice if you apply to a flat as a 1st choice.

Ok great thanks for that, Im a mature student so trying to see as many options as possible!
Ive to wait until my offer changes to unconditional anyway so i cant book anything yet sadly. Do you know if burma sells out fast? It would probalby be my best option with its proximity to the gym and the college but im worried theyll be all gone by the time my offer changes.

No problem at all, feel free to ask as many questions on here as you want!
If you like Burma for it's location on campus, I would say that Queens Road is only a minute away from Burma. These are our biggest halls, so there are a lot of rooms available. If an application is in before the housing guarantee passes then there is usually a strong chance of getting a Burma or Queens room, it can vary by year though.

No problem! All of the University is a lot closer together than it may seem, even the West Downs campus is only around a 5 minute walk from the King Alfred campus. In terms of selecting who you want to live with, I don't believe you are able to select you are able to select based on any parameter other than regular or quiet halls. The housing team will try and group people in similar courses / faculties as well though.

Hello!
Yes, Burma Road rooms do have a mirror, you can have a look at our virtual tour for a better idea of the rooms available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rfr7NVfH1I
