Ah yeah, found it on google maps. Right next to the Academy, apparently.

Got my accomm pack this morning. Richmand Terrace looks like a pretty nice place for second choice, ditto for Culver House. It really is a nice brochure, smells good too.

I love it when brochures smell good. Thats when you know its all going to be ok

It's nothing special. ;no;

The Sheffield prospectus - now that's a good smell.

I wanted to pick Wills really badly, but heard enough stories about the hall already having lots of people who are already friends and as a result, far less sociable - hence their reputation. Chose goldney as 1st and Badock as 2nd.

That's *******s, that happens in other halls. Wills is very sociable I'll have you know.

I wouldn't completely change my first choice based on hearsay, going from a catered hall in SB to a self-catered one in Clifton based on something that may or may not be true could turn out to be something you regret.

The only hall I've ever heard that have the problem you mention is Churchill, and even then it's probably far less prevalent than you are lead to believe.

One question, badock was one of my top choices (as i want catered) but I heard somewhere they have single sex floors. Is this true? Don't wanna be on a floor of bitchy girls!

I think anywhere that has a communal shower room is going to be single sex. So most of the larger halls with corridor style living and one big shower room are going to be single sex. I think most of the catered halls are like that unfortunately.

Damn this is not good news. Are all shared halls single sex? Is this the case for Wills and HB?

I think Wills has a mix of both single sex corridors and mixed sex, not sure about HB though.

Hmm, well if someone could recommend which self catered hall I'd be most likely to get a room with ensuite AND be on a mixed floor I'd be very happy. Cheers!

hb quote from the alternative prospectus

'Most floors are mixed but the bathrooms are separate - one girls and one boys on each floor.'
