Extra Information:
- The reason room sizes vary is simply because of how McLaren house is built, some rooms are slightly bigger, some are slightly smaller. Rooms with Queen beds are slightly bigger to accommodate the larger bed.

- Rooms are assigned in this format: BLOCK . FLAT NUMBER . ROOM NUMBER (e.g. A.10.4 is Block A, Flat 10, Room 4).

- Your flat can house multiple room types. For example, you can share with people who are in Standard rooms and people in Queen rooms.

- You will share with 3-9 flat mates.

- In an 8 bed flat, 4 rooms will face the street and 4 rooms will face the courtyard (the back of the building).


Hope this helps!

The LSBU accomodation is brilliant, I reside in David Bomberg House. It's got a lot of healthcare and mature students. The internet is very fast, buildings are well maintained, and there's always someone on reception.

I've found it very easy to make friends. And all of the buulidings are less than 5 minutes walk to campus.
