Forgot to say that this is all just from my perspective / the people I asked so if anyone from Bath has any differing opinions please feel free to comment them so people can get a true representation of all the flats 💕
Thank you so much for posting this! So helpful xxx
I just firmed Uni of Bath for this year! I'm so happy you reminded me of the student accomodation for 2nd and 3rd year because I was already stressing about finding housemates..
Awh glad I could help! X
Just to help people out, this year with covid shared bathrooms have been cleaned twice a week, not once every 2 weeks
Ahh that’s amazing! Thanks for sharing
I loved your blog as usual, if I were a student, you would have helped me loads. Amazing. Also loved that Irish voice.. such a gentle one. Guess who. Win Mobbs 😎 xxx
Hi there, I find this video extremely useful even tho I have applied for the accommodations a while ago. This gives me a much clear understanding of all the halls at the uni. I will be studying at Bath in the coming year and I really hope I get my first or second choice.
i’m also going to bath this september! which major are you?
@@fionalei1924 even me
Great video, thank you
Such a useful video’
I am just finishing my first year in Westwood Quantock and I honestly love my room so much. It’s so big and feels like a mini studio apartment without the bathroom. The flat is also so good because there’s a sofa and tv downstairs where people can hang out but because there isn’t a lounge people tend to go to Polden or Quads to party so quantock isn’t as loud (but can be at times😂)
Thanks for sharing this !! X
@@miaalicex no problem! ☺️
Is that Polden or Polden court? X
@@abieve8743 i don’t know about every accommodation but from what i’ve heard i think people party at regular Polden because it has big kitchens and lounges
@@abieve8743 not entirely sure, I would say it’s Polden court because I think they have a social space / lounge type thing x
11:27 polden has a kitchen and a lounge
This has got me slightly scared but maybe I’ll go to an open day or something and check it out
you are GORGEOUS
Thank you!!🥺
which one is most common with International students?
which accommodation would u say has the most people of colour?
I've heard you say that you were happy that you were given Westwood instead of Eastwood and I just wanted to ask why that is? Such a helpful video, thank youuuuu 💕
Mostly cuz of the number of people! I had 22 flatmates but in Eastwood I would have only had 11 ish. I enjoyed being in such a big group. Also I think just after you’ve lived somewhere for a while it’s hard to imagine yourself anywhere else so in my head Westwood was better cuz I was having a good time. But I wouldn’t have minded Eastwood x
hey Mia! great vid. I am still deciding between solsbury/marlborough and woodland court. I like the biggger social space in woodland but don't know if 18 people is too many flat mates to share the space like the kitchen. Would love some advice x
for some reason i can only apply to both, can't apply to them separately lol
@@georgep1907 yes same, they have grouped them together this year unfortunately :/
Hello!! My personal preference would be Solsbury/Marlborough but I think all of them are great accommodations! I know what you mean about the 18 people, it could definitely get messy. A lot of people go to others’ flats to socialise so you always have that option. Overall they are very similar but I’d say the smaller number of people is better x
Such a helpful video thank you!! I was just wondering how many toilets and showers there are in Westwood, and if you often had to wait to use either because they were full? :))
I lived in westwood this year and there is 15 of us with 4 showers and 4 toilets which are split into 2 separate bathrooms (I am in the house type layout in westwood the refurbished one not the corridor layout) I have had to wait to use the toilet about twice, and it doesn't take long someone is literally just peeing lol and never the shower, they are super clean and I love it
PS a perk is social trips to the loo with your flatmates when drinking, lol the girls will get that one
Hey! In Quarry there were 3 showers and 4 toilets and I never had to wait! Xx
thank you so so much for this vid it helped so much!! i just firmed bath for economics and math this year. I was wondering if you knew anyone who came at 17 to uni like how was it how are the parties and events for 17 year olds entering uni? thank you!!
hello! glad I could help 💕 yes I know a few people that came to uni at 17. all the events / clubs are strictly 18+ but the underage people I know did manage to get in somehow!
also an unrelated note, do u think food and drink credit is useful? I can cook but I don't LOVE it and don't know if I am willing to cook all the time. Would love some advice. Thx!
Yeah I think it is useful and if you had it then you’ll use it. Although the food is not cheaper when you have the credit, you can buy all the food without credit just with money as well x
Hey! Just got Westwood, how clean did you all manage to keep it? Also, how is it for people who don't drink a lot? Xx
Not very clean unfortunately ahah! Just the nature of living with lots of people. And yeah I think it’s fine for people who aren’t as keen on drinking cuz you can just join whenever you feel like it, or you can always still go out with everyone and not drink :)
Really amazing video, all the editing feels very professional 👌. Just wondering, do you know how feasible it is to get a part-time job? Plus if you need your own pots and stuff for the kitchen or if that’s provided?
One last question, how’s fridge space?
Hey, yes it is feasible to get a part time job defo. Weekends are always free. Yes you need to bring all your own kitchen stuff it’s not provided. And fridge space isn’t great tbh, most people just have 1 shelf each, but we managed :)
Thank you, helped a lot with my application
Hi! Quick question :) Thank you so much for the advice - put in my Bath accommodation application in last night after watching this video! I was just wondering if when you were a fresher if you bought The Big Freshers Pass? If you did was it worth it and do you recommend it or did you just get the SU wristband? Thanks xxx
Hi I'm in a few groupchats for 2021 undergrads and it looks like everyone is getting the big freshers pass and su :)
@@alexkartal2385 I'm hoping to go in October this year, how did you find gc's?
@@goober9684 originally from looking in Facebook groups
If you add me on snap i can get you in some Kartalex_03
Do you know if gardens has food credit? I really wanna go to gardens for animation when I finish at bath college, loved the video btw
I really don’t want food credit as of rn so I’m hoping it doesn’t require it
Sorry I’m not sure what gardens is!!
so weird haha but do u work at the earl pub? and on the door tonight? pretty sure i saw u lol xx
yeah I do haha !!! 😁💕💕xx
Is the food credit something you have to get with the ones that offer it or is it an add-on
You have to get it x
@@miaalicex Thanks for the reply. That sucks
Hi. Thank you for this. Very useful. Do you know when is the start of accomodation application?
hey there lovely!! I’m an international student coming in from a tropical country this september, and I tried to do some research but I couldn’t find any information about air conditioning. I only noticed a radiator in the rooms and google says its usually for heating 😢 may I ask if theres a cooling system?
You don’t need an ac in uk. Just open windows and you might need a fan for like one month of the year.
@@jakemcgregor.611 id say it depends on how warm you get in the night. but for most people, worst case scenario you would need an open window with a fan pointing at it
I was wondering
1. - How much student accommodations provided by uni cost.
2.- Is it better to find something outside or one shld prefer uniÉ :B
1 - they have all the prices listed on the bath uni website which I linked in the description
2 - I would recommend living on campus in first year to get to know people and socialise a lot. Any other year it’s better to get something outside the uni.
I am coming to Bath this year for Masters in Business Analytics for Sept. 2021 intake. I am from india. If you guys know anyother student going to Uni of Bath this year do reply to this comment, would love to connect before going to a new country :)
Yes I am going too
First comment❤️
is there any opportunity to bring your car?
not in first year, but when you live in private housing in the older years you can bring it and park on the street :)
What's your take on Piccadilly Place?
Piccadilly place ???
@@miaalicex www.hellostudent.co.uk/student-accommodation/bath/picadilly-place/
@@miaalicex i found this on hello student, do you know anything about how the place. Thank you
@@cherishpotluri957 ah I haven’t seen that one before!
Heyy, was just wondering if you lived in mixed gender accommodation, and if you did, how was it? I tend to be very paranoid and I am just concerned if it's safe or not
Any information about the university accommodation prices?
On the uni of bath website - linked in the description
Did your student loan cover Ur rent?
Yes I was very lucky to get a lot of student loan. I know a lot of people who couldn’t pay all their rent with student loan so they got help from their parents or got a job :)
Get a job before uni or pay for the rent during uni?
@@jnbdkfdbbvf6936 either! I know people that have done one of those options or both z
Omg you look like Hilary duff!
Is that an Irish accent?
in the voice note yes!
