The problem lies with the SAAS as it always has done, but that doesn't stop me being angry with the accommodation people. Many of my friends hardly go out anymore because they simply cannot afford it after they have paid their rent. There are many people who are short on money, saying that those wit...

Not really. My mum's wage is in that bracket but due to family history the loan is all the money I receive as she cannot afford to pay my parental contribution. I thought my case was uncommon but having talked to other people I find that it isn't. A higher than average salary does not mean there is ...

The fact that he refused to listen to our accommodation reps and told them he wasn't interested.

...he's not.

Rich & privileged: those who can easily afford private accommodation which is where I thought they all lived until this year, where half our hall is inhabited by them. Not rich & privileged: those who do not have a lot of money, and more specifically those who do not have a lot of money and have bee...

Sir Clement Freud couldn't give two shits about hall accommodation from what I've heard.

Can the University really do whatever the hell it wants to without having to answer to anyone? Surely somebody somewhere has jurisdiction over them, a government body perhaps? It seems ridiculous that they can just choose to increase rent for no other reason than to make unnecessary profit. It is ex...

Think they're still doing them, they just tend to run out as it nears their stock day (whenever that is).

Microshop, end of South Street up from the bute.

Bout £8 for 50 80min cds.

The quality varies greatly between different halls, whereas the cost is going up in all.

Quantity is the greatest problem.

No one can fight the system.

The problem I have with the halls is at they *seem* to be favouring the rich and privaliged. I know it sounds a bit extreme but they keep raising prices and the fact that there is only enough hall accomodation for around half the student population (I think) seems to me to be hugely unfair. Especial...

I think it's time there was a protest against the accommodation people themselves, to deal with both the state of halls and the lack of them.

I think University Hall is great, especially considering the rent isn't that high and it's quite a small hall.

Edited to add:

...except of course for a lot of people that live there, but I guess nowheres perfect.

Aww, the ickle bunny waggit.
