yeh burbage has 154 (i think, its about that number) compared to Howdens 375 or Frogg 300 and something. but its good coz you do get to know everyone pretty quickly or at least recognise them if you see them out in the union or something.

I don't think mine's mixed :frown:
Is it normally 3 boys 3 girls?
Cause so far there's 4 girls in mine and i'm in E block which i think is 6 people?
Ahh, I'm in E block, all for the mixed flat! lol
Good to hear Burbage is small, I can get to know a lot of my fellow Burbageians this way =]

Martin, does E have a reputation for anything? Good, bad? Things to uphold or discard lol

Yeah, it had a rep alright. What you've got to understand is that most blocks are adjacent to another. In Burbage, A and B are separate but C and D are joint so B2 is opposite C2 on Level 1 so E block is joint with F so its not E block but E/F block. E/F's rep was as the messiest block, a lot of the flats in the block were always fouling the lift with alcohol and/or takeaways. If they haven't changed the carpet when you come then you'll see a patch in front of the lift where curry and chips was split.

Flats are not mixed sex except for B block, B block in Howden was also mixed so that might run true for everywhere but in E/F the first two floors were boys flats and the last 3 floors were girls flats.

Also, try to get to know all your block in the first few days. Its unlikely you'll get to know people in other blocks. For example, I didnt recognise some people in other blocks til very late and I'm pretty sure mtbab has no idea who I am!

Thanks for this! Do you know what colour the E block rooms are?
I'll fit right in with the messyness in E block then..
Also is it 6 in a flat in E?
Sorry for all the questions!
Reply 35
E and F are both red and do have 6 people per flat. You're right at the top on your own in E5 as there's no F5 so you really don't want the lift disgusting all the time, unless you want to be climbing 4 flights of stairs everyday!
Reply 36
Yes that's true!
I'm hoping the stairs will provide a bit of exercise :smile:
Thanks for your help!!
Reply 37
Yayy! I can't wait! I'm in E5 and it is clearly going to be the best flat :P
Thanks to everyone for the info, the photos look really nice :smile:
Eeee excited :P

E1 was rock and roll

the whole block secured a place at the top of the list of the most debauched places in the country by the end of the year. i expect any future residents to continue this tradition.
