作为即将成为大家新家的宿舍,自然成为了关注的焦点

大家关于宿舍各种各样的问题让7/24淘宝客服模式全开的小编也快招架不过来啦 所以今天来个总结帖跟大家分享一下你们的新家!


Arthur Vick:

- Location & Surroundings:  It's in a nice quiet corner of campus, but at the same time is not a great distance from any teaching buildings, gym & SU. Maximum 15 minutes walk from Tesco in one direction and Costcutter in the other.

- Rooms: Big ensuite room,large kitchens,spacious corridors, plus a large common room/dining room attached to each kitchen, usually between 9-14 people per corridor/kitchen.


Bluebell:

- Location & Surroundings: Well located, close to the SU and Central Campus, behind Rootes. It's right in front of a lake and woodlands, and it's a really nice place to sit out and have a picnic.

- Rooms: usually 8 people in a flat. There's a bookable common area in block 1 which can fit about 100 people in. It's open to all bluebell students (and you can bring people in from other residences too) from 9-5, and it can be booked until midnight for parties if you want to have a lot of people over. The hall society also holds events in there.


Claycroft:

Location & Surroundings: There's a really cute duck pond and lots of trees and grassy courtyards and stuff outside, and there's really easy access to the footpaths that loop around the south end of campus and through Tocil Wood; It's about five minutes walk to the library and Humanities building, ten absolute maximum to the SU, three to Maths/Stats, and in the opposite direction about five minute walk to Tesco.

Rooms: The block is arranged into flats of eight sharing one kitchen and dining room, but since the doors between flats don't lock you can walk around the entire block so you're not limited to just those eight people and instead have around 200 students in easy reach! You share one full bathroom (toilet, sink, bath with a shower over it) between two bedrooms - you have a mini front door off the main corridor that links to a vestibule with three doors - two bedrooms and one bathroom. This year all but one flat are mixed, but bathrooms are shared between the same sex. It's 39 week rent so you don't need to move your things out in the holidays, and there's also an integral laundrette.


Cryfield:

Rooms:  Cheap and cheerful! Rooms are relatively small (with basin) & corridors are narrow. The kitchens and bathrooms are in the middle so not too far away. Kitchens are a good size and shared between 12, fridge, freezer and cupboard space is adequate. There are common rooms on the ground floor of each building.

Location & Surroundings: Very close to SU, costcutters etc. It is separated from central campus not by distance but by a road, which tends to mean it is a quieter area at night. Also the burger van is en route to Cryfield after a night out. Very close to car park.


Heronbank:

Location & Surroundings: About 7 minutes’ walk from main campus and about 15 minutes’ walk from Tesco. It is next to a so there are a lot of ducks, geese, swans etc. Very quiet but lively.

Rooms: 8 people to a flat. There's an integral launderette on the ground floor of East Court. The rooms are a very good size with more than enough storage space. Bathrooms are cleaned every week, rooms every other week and kitchens Monday, Wednesday and Friday. For sociable people the corridor set up will be a pro as you are free to roam through flats and meet people from all over the building if you so wish.


Jack Martin:

Location & Surroundings: Very good location -  within 2 minutes from the SU, Costcutter, ATMs, launderette, health centre, taxi rank and 2 bus stops. 5 minutes from lecture theatres on Library Road and Sports Centre and 7 minutes from Computer Sciences and. Tesco is about 12 minutes away.

Rooms: Four blocks in total, of flats varying from 11-13 people. Ensuite, large room size.  Kitchens cleaned 3 times a week, bathroom once a week and bedroom once a fortnight. JM1 even contains a lift which is useful when moving in and out.


Lakeside:

Location & Surroundings: 39 week let en-suite accommodation about 7 minutes’ walk from main campus, 15 to Gibbet Hill and about 17 to Tesco. Nice environment what with the lake and geese and all that. It is one of the quietest halls on campus.

Rooms: There are 8 people to a flat but as with Heronbank you are free to wander around into any other flat within the block. Kitchens are cleaned Monday, Wednesday and Friday, bathrooms cleaned every week and rooms every other week. The rooms are a good size with loads of storage space. Phone in room. Quite useful for internal calls but it costs for external calls


Rootes:

Location & Surroundings: Great location. SU, arts centre & Costcutter are very close. Good price.

Rooms: Fairly big rooms; Communal Atmosphere. Very lively.


Sherbourne:

Location & Surroundings: A bit far from central campus. Convenient to go to WBS.

Rooms: Newly-built. modern looking ensuite rooms with spacious kitchen.


Tocil:

Location & Surroundings: Centrally located accommodation, just behind sports centre.  Close to library & Tesco.

Rooms: Quite big room size.No sinks though. 3 bathrooms shared among 9 or 12 people. You share a kitchen between either 6, 9 or 12. Quite sociable.


Westwood:

Location & Surroundings: Westwood is close to Tesco and cannon park shops. Cafe and post room are on your doorstep. Excellent communal atmosphere. Also closest halls to the learning grid. There’s plenty of green space around each hall, and although the sports centre is on main campus, Westwood is right next to the athletics tracks and tennis courts if that floats your boat. Squirrels everywhere! Just for the "aww" factor.

Rooms: Very big rooms. Rooms have their own washbasin and you get a massive desk (approx 2m long!), chest of drawers, bedside table and big wardrobe, so there’s a ton of storage space. Each hall has its own washing machine and drying room on the 1st floor, and a common room on the ground floor.
