    st georges accomodation

    I just wanted to know if the accomodation is mixed sex or not.It's just that the uni gave really little if not none on what the accomodation is like?From the sounds of how horrible it is I almost regret putting it down as a choice.

    ps. Private accomodation isn't a choice either.

    Do you mean Grove? I think it's still mixed sex on one floor, girls on one floor and blokes on one floor - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong as I don't actually live there.

    There's so much more to George's than the accomodation - I don't know a soul who regrets going there for that reason (doctors and students)

    thanx claudia (for answering in the other thread 2 ...)....hermes im in exactly the same dilemma!! there are loads of perks to living in halls - getting to know fellow students, atmosphere etc etc..but its just hearing all the stories of st georges accommodation - guess its just initial nerves. but ppl keep saying how tiny n grotty the halls r...i'm just a bit anxious i guess...duno y yet tho - everything still depends on thursday!!

    No, there are far better reasons for regretting it!
    Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time;
    it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

    seriously guys, halls isn't that bad! its about the people you're with anyway, there's no point in dismissing it just because the location isn't ideal, the rooms are small and you have to share a kitchen and bathroom with 8 others... sarcasm aside, i really loved my year in halls!

    you have a 3 floor 'house' - bottom floor is boys, middle floor is mixed, and top floor is usually girls too (it was in my place).

    after 1st year most people move into houses/ flats.
    4th years are expected to know things *sigh* How depressing...

    Sometimes there are two floors girls and one floor boys or vice versa.

    Halls isn't that bad - I've lived there three years in a row for various reasons which I won't bore you with now!

    Halls is where you make your friends - for life in many cases! You will regret not going!

    Argh! Does that mean that if I live out I’ll be friendless?!? (Obviously I know personality may have an effect on the outcome of this question )
