So I got an offer from Bath to study Politics & IR in early February and I am starting to feel as though I probably will end up going to Bath (but I am still waiting on 2 unis so).
Im wondering what accommodation is best at Bath. I would say I am very sociable and like going out a lot etc and want to be around people like that. I have heard QUADS is the best for this kind of vibe but are there any alternative options just cos I know not many people get into QUADS cos its so popular haha.

Quads is definitely very sociable. The rooms are tiny but there are big communal social areas . Eastwood is sociable too. Larger rooms, no en suite, much cheaper.

Sociable will always depend on the mix of people living there each year.

Notts, birmingham, Liverpool and Southampton. Hopefully going to Nottingham. Bath was my back up option.

Firslty, I would recommend having a look at these two Student Room threads:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/sho....php?t=6431180
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=6422034
A couple of years ago one of my ambassador colleagues gave a detailed outline of the different accomodation options in those threads so it's a very useful resource.
As other people have said, the best thing you can do is choose an accomodation with lots of people in a flat. I think standard vs. en-suite and catered vs. self-catered does not make much difference to how sociable an accomodation is. Westwood, Eastwood and Norwood all have big flat sizes (I lived in Westwood in a flat of 24 people in first year so it was easy to find some people who were similar to you). I personally think Eastwood is quite good as the accomodation is arranged houses so there is a nice community vibe in the flat and you are not spread across 2/3 kitchens (which is the case in Westwood).
As you have said, en-suite accomodation tends to be oversubscribed so even if you apply for it you are not guaranteed to get it. I'd recommend having a couple of en-suite options (if that's your preference) and also include your preferred standard accomodation. Quads and Woodland Court are quite big, Malborough and Solsbury Court a bit smaller.
Ultimately it does not really make a huge difference where you end up. How sociable your flat is and how well you get on your housemates is complete luck on who you end up living with, which is not something you can control! I would recommend seeing which your prefer based on practicalities, appearance and budget and go from them. I know it can feel like a big decision but it does not make too much difference at the end of the day
Please feel free to quote me if you have any further questions!

Although tbh, I don’t think there’s that much difference between the two as a large number of people share the kitchens, meaning you’re likely to find people you get on with, and they’re situated right by each other.

Hello, I’ve just firmed Bath for Politics and IR! I’m torn between Quads, Woodland Court and Marlborough/Salsbury Court. Currently I’m leaning towards Quads as it has more social space, despite having smaller rooms than Woodland.

One of my mates who is gonna enter 3rd year in September was in Woodland Court and said it was really expensive and she regretted picking it, just a heads up. I honestly prefer Norwood the most in regards to looks etc but feel as though I will put Quads first on my list if I do firm it, just cos its well known to be the best accommodation and also its just sociable haha.
Where else did u apply??

I’m in Eastwood at the moment. There’s 13 of us which is a really nice number. We’re definitely a very sociable house and I know a lot of other Eastwood houses that are. It’s a a fair amount cheaper than quads too, and sharing bathrooms is not an issue at all.
