University Accommodation

[pigrescuer]

I have to choose what university accommodation I want to put my name down for, and I am stuck between two options:

Option A
£76 a week.  Old seventies rooms, washbasin, kitchen and bathroom shared between 7 or 8 people.  Directly over the Student Union.  Right in the centre of campus

Option B
£95 a week.  Built in the last decade, washbasin, 4 kitchens

Not that I have massive amounts of experience, but the closer your accommodation to where your classes are, the better. Otherwise, you have to drag around the massive textbook bag of DOOM. That said, three minutes probably won't make a world of difference.

I *never* heard of any room advertised with a washbasin when I was looking for uni accomodation either. Maybe it's a Brit thing?

*bops along to the Gen song*

Lol, thanks, but the campus is a very tiny one. It would take about 40 minutes to walk the length of it. If you were walking slowly.

Plus, all the rooms are in the north bit, then the middle is the central stuff with the library and the bank and the food places and the bars, then the southern bit has the carpark and the science buildings. And the lake.

So they seem to want to separate the science buildings from everybody anyway. ^_^

and seriously, you guys don't get washbasins either? How do you brush your teeth!?

[pigrescuer]

Oh, wait, you're staying with your aunt and uncle, aren't you? Well, how do most people brush their teeth?

The communal bathrooms? are on every floor. They have sinks. And toilets. And showers. We brush our teeth with water and toothpaste. It is the standard way. America: not that bad off. Although the washbasins were nice.

Hee! My Alma Mater is miniscule, then, at 15 minutes on the diagonal.

OMG IT'S YOUR ALMA MATER

and heck mine, which everyone seems to think is this GREAT HUGE UNIVERSITY, has only 8,000 undergrads and can be traversed in about 20 minutes.

(srsly tours here are so boring. "and...there's all the monuments...and the dorms...and where I have class. The end.")

The... campus is a very tiny one? Er. I doubt if it would take me 15 minutes to walk from end to end of mine...
There must be a plot against science students :)
I don't know how the poeple in student accommodation brush their teeth. Hmmm. Maybe they don't. (I think they use the shared bathrooms)
