Accommodation offers soton

on our accommodation offers do we get told what section of our halls we are in? e.g. I got given glen, but the address on there is just glen eyre hall complex

other people on here seem to know what section they're in (like chancellors courts, hartley grove, etc) but those posts were a few years back so idk if it's changed since then

No you won't. You will meet them when you move into your flat.

How do we know we are buying the correct size bedding for our room? I appreciate most are single but some enhanced plus are small double - would be handy to know in advance of arrival

That depends on the type of room that you are renting and where. For example, at Orion Point all beds are small doubles (120cm by 190cm). However at Mayflower, enhanced ensuite rooms and studios have small doubles, while flats have full doubles, with the rest being single beds. There is further information for the beds available at the other halls of residences on our site, where you should click on the specific halls of residence you are staying in and look at what is said for beds under room furniture. You should know what specific room type you have from your application.

Just as a little side note, regarding duvets, a lot of people find it better just to buy a double duvet even if you are staying in a single room. This is just a little tip, since in my experience once I moved out of halls and went into privately rented accommodation, I got a double bed anyway and having a double duvet instead of a single meant that I didn't have to buy another duvet.

Hope this helps!
