Accommodation in general
Newest Review: ... heating for the first three days. The rooms are a lovely salmon pink, with some rather fetching sick stains on the carpet. Not mine, I hasten to add. Between the eight of us, there are three toilets and two showers, and a small kitchen unit. Communal areas are cleaned three times a week, apparently but I'm usually in bed at that time - heh heh - so I've never seen them. The Campus is catered and houses about 341 people, so you do the math. No, the food is not haute cuisine but it's edible. I'm no chef, so it suits me. Rent is currently about £79 a week. I have been told that the vast majority of the money from rent goes to t... more |

Coming to Oxford Brookes Uni was a bit of a rush job and I didn't have a choice accommodation. Having a car limited my choices even further, so I ended up at Wheatley. Situated about five miles south east of Oxford, Wheatley Campus has both halls of resisence, and the Business School. The first thing you'll see on the approach is The Tower Block which earned the Campus the nickname of the 'projects' or the 'ghetto'. Apparently it sways in the wind but I'm not living there so I couldn't verify that. I have been in though, and it reminds me of a Spanish Hotel. A cheap one. In D building - my home! - in our particular section (J9 ...

The university of sheffield is, without a doubt, a city based university. It is true that i hadnt actually visited the place before i started uni there - as i'd gone through the clearing system (aaaaarrrrghhhhhhh)- but what i found was very different to what i'd imagined. This was magnified even more when i was presented with my timetable that had me placed one one side of the city for one lecture then at the opposite end for another class immediately afterwards???!!! Believe me, the logistics of the defied me. Maybe i was supposed to take advantage of the very reliable tram service?! This i would gladly have done if they didn't petrify me quite so much - ...

The accomodation at Oxford Brookes varies from good to bad. They all have their plus points and bad points. I have just finished my first year at Halls and to be fair it was probably the most bizarre time of my life!!! I stayed in an area called Wheatley and the first thing you'll notice is that the halls are 5 miles from the uni!! However, there is a free bus to ferry you to uni and back....the infamous 77! The good side to this is that there is a very strong sense of community in Wheatley, and there always seems to be something going on. As for the food - avoid it at all costs. The other halls at Brookes University are all relatively modern and friendly, each with ...
