Hi Accommodation Team Our Daughter will be starting at UWE this September (Creative & Professional writing) and we just have a few questions regarding accommodation types you may be able to help with. She really wants to stay in Wallscourt so my questions are based on that: 1. When it comes to applying on the 13.06. I know she can select her location preference i.e Frenchay campus, but will she also have options to select the halls, i.e Wallscourt and then the type of accommodation, i.e Shared, Flat or En-siute? 2. What are the differences in sizes and features between the Standard, Large and Super Large rooms with shared bathrooms? Do you have floor plans we can look at? 3. Of these rooms with shared bathrooms, are they only shared between 2 students? Thank you

Hi, to answer your questions: 1. You can select location and type of room (shared or ensuite) but not the specific accommodation site. 2. We don't have available floor plans we're afraid 3. This is dependent on the size of accommodation but typically the bathroom is shared between 2-3 students.
