i know this is very late, but i checked a while ago that the accommodation isn't allocated on a first come first serve basis. ive made my final list and i was considering putting heronbank as my first choice, but from what ive read across the forum no-one is really considering that or lakeside, also its not been offered to first year undergraduates before so how can anyone really say.
-from the map it is away from AV, JM, and Rootes. do you think the social life really will be quite dull, or as someone put it in a earlier thread, "if you want a proper life." dont choose lakeside.
-Also is there any warwick students who have actually lived in heronbank/lakeside that could provide any opnions.
-bhavi.
