Question about Pritchatts Road Hall
I know I should ask this question in the accommodation area..but as the deadline of application is tomorrow and i think it's faster to get the answer here so I just post it here.
One thing I am very confused is that there are 3 halls in pritchatts road 9, 11 and spinney. However as I know all of them are single room with shared bathroom. So is there any difference between them>? and I would like to ask how many people have to share 1 bathroom and toilet ?
Please kindly advise. Thanks

Pritchatts Park consits of:
The Pritchatts Road Houses (3,7,9 and 11 Pritchatts Road)
which are four large houses for postgrads (50 week contact) amd contains single and double rooms (for couples).
The Spinney, this year is a postgrad hall (50 week contact) with one bathroom and toilet between five, (Flats 5-10, 12-17) and two or three bathrooms between eleven or more. (Flats 1-4, 11, 18)
Ashcroft is undergrad (42 week contact) with 33 flats all having one bathroom and one toilet between six. It is generally considered to be the 'worst' in terms of quality in Pritchatts, but I found it perfectly fine and extremely socialable.
Oakley Court is all undergrad this year (42 weeks). Flat one, two and three is one bathroom and one toilet between about five, while the other eighteen flats have two bathrooms and toilets between about ten to thirteen, but two rooms in each flat also also share an additional bathroom between them (called a dulpex). Oakley Court is nicer that Ashcroft, with larger rooms and a lounge area, although it is more expensive and not everyone likes living in a flat with another twelve people in it.
Pritchatts House, well, the bathroom facilities are something. Undergrad again, with are 24 duplex rooms, which are nice and fine. The rest have to do with 'bathroom blocks' which sometimes two flats share. Bearing in mind that there can be up to 18 living in one flat, they aren't the nicest in the world, to be honest, at the best of times. However you have a sink in your nice, biggish, room, there and Pritchatts House is right above the Social Centre (with it's own bar) so it's ok.
Pritchatts Park is a nice, lively hall with it's own bar and Social Centre, with Sky, Pool, Snooker, Darts, Table Football etc, etc. It's got a Residents' Committee which puts on a lot of events at the Social (by a lot, we mean more than any other hall at Birmingham.) It may be basic at times, but it's a ok place to live, which makes up for it's issues with the great social atmosphere and distance from campus.
Personally, I prefer Ashcroft, because it's cheap, but many prefer Oakley Court due to the larger rooms and nicer living area.

The only reason why everyone is mad about the Vale is because there's a lot of students living there, nothing much else. I've been there quite a bit and while it's nice, it isn't all that.
Pritchatts is closer to Uni, we've got our own bar, more events with four weeks of Freshers events rather than just the two weeks other halls give you, it's own annual free music festival and so on and so on.
Ashcroft is a good place, mate. You can have flat parties that spread out to the corridors and other flats and sometimes, even other floors. It's all about the people and what you make of it. Just make sure you go to the Traffic Light Party on the first Monday. You'll meet a lot of people and everyone in Pritchatts says it's the best party of the year.

Ditto. I lived in a hall that was on its own (QHC) and its very much what you make it, I had the time of my life. Just make sure you go to the events that are organised and you can't go wrong.

I'm sure the Vale is great (it ought to be considering the price!) But yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said it's all about the people. I'm not really that bothered about how amazing my accomm is, as long as there's lots going on and I'm having a good time.
Really impressed that there's an annual music festival. Are we talking local acts? 'Indie'? Thanks for the tip about the Traffic Light Party, I saw it advertised on the Prichatts facebook group and thought it looked pretty good. Will def be going.
Don't worry, there's normally alot going on around Pritchatts.
Every Summer we have, Pritchattsbury, our music festival and it's been going for five years now. This year we had playing on the main stage Natty, The Displacements, Foy Vance, The Anomoalies, winners of T4's mobileAct Unsigned - Envy & Other Sins and The Mitchell Brothers with The Holloways headlining. Not sure if you've heard any of them, but as far as we can tell, we think it's the biggest free student music festival in the country, but we may be wrong.

I'm moving out of Pritchatts House in a few weeks. Can't believe that postgrads get to live in The Spinney next year, when I had to live in PH with its nasty bathrooms this year! 
At least we have massive kitchens here, that's something
