Chance of getting Edens Court - Accomodiation

I want to apply to Derwent as I've seen postive reviews and apparently it has a high social aspect.

However, I rarely eat much for breakfast (I'm never hungry in the morning) so catered would be a waste of money. Looking at York's website from my understanding if I apply for any of the non-catered I might end up in edens court, which to me feels a bit too far away from everything else.

Is it worth taking the risk, how much blocks are there to go around the self-catered people? Or is there any self catered that isn't in edens court.

Thanks in advance!

I’m wondering about this too. I wasn’t sure whether Eden’s Court is a specific choice on the application or whether you can just randomly get put there if you select Derwent?! I’m assuming, re catered, that you could maybe get takeaway breakfast, ie bacon sandwich (or something) and eat it later?? 🤷*♀️

Hi!

I'd also recommend looking at Halifax College if you want to be self catered on Campus West. Halifax is the largest college on campus, so it is really social. There's a mix of houses and flat style accommodation and two common rooms to socialise in.

Eden's court is close to Halifax but it's set apart, so if you want to be living near lots of other students, then Halifax might be a good option.

Hope this helps!

I've always thought halifax looked a bit too far away from everything else judging from the campus map. Never actually walked down there on any of the open days. Blocks H, E, G and F was said to be self-catered when I visited on the open days, but didn't seem to be on the accomodation application list. Did I just mishear?

Thanks in advanced
