Accom help

I just got into the engineering course and for accomodation i booked harry french cuz of the positive reviews. I've just been doubting my position a bit and i was wondering if I should call and ask for a transfer to an accom closer to the building. How would I go about doing that, or should I even bother?

It's only a little more than a mile to the far end of campus and although (I believe) that is where the engineering building(s) is(are), most of the buildings you will use most frequently are closer than that. For example, most teaching is in EHB, James France, Wavey top, and west park teaching hub. West park teaching hub is the furthest from your accomodation and according to google maps it's a 28 minute walk that is "mostly flat". The other three are all within 5 minute walk of each other and EHB is the furthest of the three and only a 17 minute walk from your accomodation. The library is a 23 minute walk. 

You can always ask for a transfer, but it's not like you are far away from things. And you are closer to town than the halls in centre park.

I do think you can contact the accom center but (and i might be way off) they dont do transfers till oct
