    i think it depends where you go on what the accomodation is like. when i looked around liverpool there was about 40 people sharing 3 showers and they were disgusting and it was single sex accomodation, but in my first year i had standard accomodation as the ensuite was over £1000 more expensive and we had 2 toilets and 1 shower between 5 of us and it was mixed sex accomodation (although you could opt for single sex if you wanted), the ensuite accomodation had 8 people sharing but their kitchen was bigger than ours

    Nope, because we're ensuite we have to do our own bathrooms. They just clean the kitchen and corridors. Well, they're supposed to, our kitchen has only been cleaned properly once since we've been here. If you leave dishes to dry and the cleaner comes in, she'll walk straight out and not bother cleaning She nicked our trolley too and the broken chair. We got the trolley back but the chair was thrown in the skip.
    Thanks CrazyLea

    I pay £1000 more than the next accommodation down. I pay more for my room than I do for tuition fees.
    Thanks CrazyLea

    We don't have a cleaner at all. Which is annoying. We tend to spend a Sunday afternoon cleaning the kitchen listening to the chart show on Radio 1.

    Horrible day, thunder. Ew.

    Hoping the dog will come back tonight
    I let him stay over last night. I had to stay downstairs with him though. He laid on me all night But let him out in the morning.

    Ooo I love enchanted. I watch it all the time! So addictive ! Quite annoyed I didn't wait though! I paid something like 12.99 for mine lol!

    oh right. here the cleaner cleans your bathroom if you have ensuite, although people i know who had ensuite in our first year said it was annoying cos they would wake you up at 8am! the cleaner in our house was like that with our kitchen too, always complained if there was anything at all out on the side! then we got a new cleaner who was really nice so that was good. i miss not having a cleaner now cos one of my housemates is so messy and its only a few of us who ever bother cleaning the kitchen
