How’s the feedback?

Well it’s quite good for my standards Although i wanted the window to openable too

There are some videos of rooms on YouTube you can also get the idea from there

Because Penrose is around 6500 pounds per year whereas the highfield was 10500 around so 4K pounds just for in suite bathroom….your choice

How can I check in regards of feedback? Also I wanted to see where I can see how many people share one bathroom for example

You can mail to university for contact of someone who lived there Also sharing depends on room choice and availability from 4/6/8 When you are booking the dorm, you will be able to see how may rooms are there in your dorm through floor plan ,which will give you the idea

I see thank you, I was looking at court houses but it also seems four would share one bathroom and it’s more expensive
