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 💕

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 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😂)

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? :))

@abismith2446 3 жыл бұрын

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

@miaalicex 2 жыл бұрын

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

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 💕

@miaalicex 3 жыл бұрын

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

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 :)

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.
