Hi, I just wanted to make an updated video to show people around the Waterside accommodation because this is exactly what I needed when I joined in September 2021. Thank you for watching :)
Thanks for this! It helps so much to see a reliable insider view of the accommodation! Question, I saw you said the buses take 15-30 mins to show up, are they reliable and on time? P.s. ur room is so cute :)
Hi, during term time and weekdays the busses are usually good. But they are pretty unreliable and never really follow the bus timetable, especially on weekends as they only show up once every hour. The FirstBus app allows you to track the location of the U5 though which can be handy though. Hope this helps x
Hi, lovely video :) Just wanted to ask if the command hooks ended up leaving any marks on the wall and if they didn't - mind if I ask which ones you bought?
@@lindawanstall1057 Hi. There isn’t a toothbrush charger in the room but there is a shaver socket in the bathroom from what I remember. People did use the common room, mostly before nights out or when people had flat parties, they would sometimes spill in there. Hope this helps :)
Hi, i’m moving into Waterside in september, did the room come with a bedside table? and do you get provided much in the kitchen like mops or brooms? xx
Hi Grace, yes the room comes with most of the furniture, bedside table included. The kitchen also does have a mop, hoover and dustpan and brush but we didn’t get a broom, I know other flats did though so you may be lucky. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a good year in Waterside :)
Thank you for this video! I'll be joining in September but can't seem to find information about with campus I'll be studying at. Do you know which campus hosts the media and TV courses? :)
You're welcome :) I do study at Newton Park and it is so beautiful up there. I would say the bus takes about 15 mins up to campus but it usually takes around 15-30 mins for a bus to show up at the bus stop. So, just be prepared to wait around. However, I would say both Waterside and Charlton Courts are great locations to both get into town and to campus as it's in the middle of both. Hope this helps :)
@@aam4641 Hi, this accommodation is right next to Locksbrook Campus. I would say it takes about 5 minutes to walk. My flatmate studies there and leaves 10 minutes before her lesson and always gets there with time to spare. I'm glad you liked the video :)
Hi, I don’t actually live in Waterside anymore and I never measured the curtains because I had good ones already there. But I would suggest moving in first and see what you get to see if you get lucky. If not then I’d defo recommend replacing when you’re there :)
