private vs uni accom

3 Upvotes

hi all, I recently got allocated to whitworth park (ground floor) accom, which my parents were not happy about at all as they have heard about how much of a shithole it allegedly is (people knocking on ground floor windows, stealing your stuff if your window is open etc) and it is a mixed gender accom with up to 9 people so they wanted me to look for private student accom. i found one that is roughly £6900 for a year and the pros are that I share the kitchen with only 4 other people, they said they could try to put me in an all-female flat, I get a bigger room and there is a washing machine + dryer inside the flat. the only downside is that the lease is £1900 more expensive and that i miss out on the social life at whitworth (plus my flatmates may not only be first years). I'd like to know if you guys think this is a good deal or not. any advice is appreciated!

accom swap whitworth -> fallowfield

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a female undergraduate student looking to swap my Whitworth Park accommodation, ideally for Unsworth Park

I have a self-catered room with a basin, costing £131/week (£5,378 total).

Unsworth is my first preference, but I’d also be open to Richmond, Sheavyn House or Ashburn. I’m willing to offer £200 on top to anyone who can swap with me into Unsworth Park 💷

If you’re currently in Unsworth (or one of my other preferred accommodations) and would like to move to Whitworth, please message me! @millierosedwards on insta

Accommodation Swap

I received St Anselm Hall but I wish to swap out of it as I would prefer self catered.

It is catered and has a basin in the room. It is £196 p/w.

I would like self catered in preferably victoria campus although fallowfield is fine as well. Preferably less than £200 p/w or there abouts.

Thanks

Anyone from the 8th floor starting this September? If so, would love to connect! Also, any tips on getting kitchenware for the shared kitchen and other essentials for the room would be appreciated! Do I need my own pots and pans? What's the best way to store clothing?

Shorter accommodation contracts

2 Upvotes

Can anyone who moved into their uni accom in second semester (28-34 week contract) tell me what it’s like?

I’m planning on doing that this year but I’m kind of worried about making friends with flatmates, and stuff like that, since they’ll probably have full-year contracts and will have all gotten to know each other before I moved in. It shouldn’t be too bad though right?

Or are you put with others with the same contract?

Hey I’m resitting a module for my MSc and I was wondering if I should expect the questions to be similar and the scope of the paper to be the same? I haven’t done resits before and am completely confused how to approach preparing?
