SOAS or Sheffield for Korean Studies?

Ooooh I see, yes, I saw that most hold 10 people per flat so I’m expecting to live with 6-10 people (I think 6 is the minimum??)
When you say room, does that mean if it’s a ‘standard room’ / ‘en-suite’? For some reason I thought it was the actual room number 😩😂. Yes, I saw that too! Lol yeah, definitely don’t want to go ground floor 😬

It does make sense, thank you so much! The map was an unbelievable help!!! That way I can choose what I want to live around, plus it puts what you said into context

Thank you so much for the advice, I hope you manage to get where you want to live! I’ll keep my eyes open for that accommodation email :’))

Ahhh no you're right, you do get to pick your exact room number, sorry I phrased that oddly and confused you! I'm glad I could help and I hope you manage to get the room you want as well!

You didn’t at all, I saw mixed replies regarding that question so thank you, you’ve helped me a lot!! Haha thank you!!
Last question! How on earth do you know what room number to go for??? I had no clue I could even book that.. how could you know what room you’d like? Sorry!!!!

The room number doesn't really matter I think, all the rooms are going to be the same appearance wise so you can pick whichever number you like. The only difference is that half of the rooms will face the opposite way out to the other half so you'll have a different view depending on which room you choose but there's no way to know this unless you've been there already.

Also if you're in a mixed-sex flat then you'll only be able to pick certain room numbers anyway because they make half the rooms only available to male applicants and the other rooms available to female applicants to ensure there's an even mix. E.g. if it's a 10 person flat, you'll only be able to pick from rooms 1 to 5 because rooms 6 to 10 will be for the opposite sex.

I hope that helped, this is pretty much all I know from applying for accommodation last year so I hope they haven't changed it since then. 😂

I’m so sorry for the late reply, I didn’t see the notification for some reason!

I thought as much, I could double check on the applicant day too if i’m worried. I suppose if you pick a block on one side of the building you have some idea of the view??
Oh really? I wanted to go for mixed sex so that’s really helpful! I was wondering how the distribution would be!

You’ve been so so helpful, I honestly can’t thank you enough, have you firmed if you don’t mind me asking?

Yeah I've firmed Sheffield, how about you?
