Bathrooms in flats are different from bathrooms in corridors, from my experience.
Bathrooms in flats are like home bathrooms, whereas bathrooms in corridors are more open, with multiple sinks etc - you're never going to be in a position where you can't get to one.

At Badock you pay £65 extra a year to have a sink in your room. Worth it? I'm not sure - you get less storage space, and I'd have nowhere to put my TV if I had a sink...

You know that Goldney's self-catering and HB is catered right?

You picked your second choice yet Ron?

;no;

I had a dream that I moved into The Hawthorns, and I was in a cluster with something like 5 baths when I'd asked for a shower. I was also at the University of Sheffield though so this may mean absolutely nothing.

I think maybe it's what I'll put as second. The Hawthorns that is, not Sheffield. I might email Goldney, Manor, The Hawthorns and Winkworth about what they provide for/how they deal with disabled students and see where that gets me I suppose.

whys? You don't even have a real disability. :p:

I doubt they'd do anything above and beyong helping those with mobility or sensory disabilities. PS I'd rather not be in one of the 'disabled' blocks in Goldney.

yer i do, im not fussed about going self catered or catered....im not a fussy eater but i dont mind cooking for myself either! i just thought Clifton area was a great distance from the uni and Goldney sounded the best option for me there...i know hiatt baker is in SB but all other Clifton halls were over subscribed and so i can't put them as a 2nd choice and thought the catered option in SB which were undersubscribed looked better for me than University Hall!

You could put a student house second. The word 'house' is pretty deceiving really.

If i put down Manor Hall as my first choice will i be broke for my time at university?

Reply 450

erm, you'll be broke if you can't afford it. Surely you knew that though? I don't think I understand the question.

As I accepted Bristol as my firm choice I began to analyze the accomodation and I had some quesitons for students, who are already in Bristol :smile:

.

1. What is better to chose: catered or self-catered accomodation? What the catered accomodation includes (what kind of food - in case of quality and quantity)? What choice is more 'economic'? :wink:

2. Which accomodation opportunities should I consider if:

- I wanted a plece with nice social life as studying without parties and fun is not studying...
- I rather prefer to live not to far from the Uni (I'm going to study economics and politics) as I wouldn't like to spend money on transport or time on walking too much...
- The price of the accomodation is rather important for me so I wouldn't like the most expensive one.

For the social side and the food side, I would say Hiatt Baker. Slightly cheaper than Wills (the other catered Stoke Bishop hall). However, you do have a 25-45 min walk in the mornings.

If you want to live close for cheap, you're struggling....

Baddock is catered too.

As for what is a better option between Catered and SC, only you can really answer that. Catered is my idea of hell, whereas other people might think that SC is.

editted to add quote.

...and Churchill....
