It is the reason...
But maybe some halls don't see it as an issue, or their showers are less revealing.

I think I remember someone saying they were like the ones at my school, where they are cubicles so the very top and bottom are not covered (like some toilet cubicles where you can see their feet or look over the top if you climbed up).

hey ive kinda decided that goldney will be my first choice... i no its oversubscribed but i really like it.

but i cant make up my mind bout my second choice:
-self catered
-im not fused bout en-suite
-im not fused bout a long walk either

any help would be great!!

I'm surprised that people aren't too fussed about walking. I've sort of become allergic to long distance travel after walking to work, or spending several hours on commuting. @_@

I hated walking when I first got there, having being used to driving everywhere, even though I was only in Goldney, but now, when I come home and have to drive everywhere, I actually really miss walking. I find it gives me a nice kind of calm time to think about things, or just be sort of at peace, not to mention a bit of exercise when I can't make it to the gym.

Yeah. Extremely tempting when you put in that way.
*Thinks of groups of people moaning together*

Misery does love company. Hehee!

I'll really have to think it over on that one. Having spent 4 hours commuting for the last few months. Another short period of time walking an hour each way... it just doesn't seem like a good idea. I do wonder whether people are just re-assuring themselves that the walk would be healthy, or whether they're actually used to doing it. Granted... I was always alone during my commuting days so walking with mates might be really different.

Not to rain on your parade =P

I know a guy who lost 2 stones since joining uni. He doesn't do any sport and running is some form of foreign language to the guy (legend lol) but has to carry his big tuba to band practice as well as going to uni.

And the walk is only one hour if you stop on the way to have breakfast at a cafe. Even then it'd prob take 50 minutes

1hr there, 1 hr back.....that's 2 hrs of your day gone walking....T-T

Actually stoke bishop looks REALLY far from Google Earth...it's like:

stoke bishop ----------------------hills+trees-------------------------------------precinct

(is it cyclable?) - even with people!

Tbh cycling is the fastest mode of transport from SB to the princint (apart from motorbike). records 7 mins on bike but more realistically it takes 12-15. Nothing beats the feeling of gliding down whiteladies without pedling and laughing at the slow moving cars

Gliding down's nice and all...how's climbing up?
