Loved this video, is the large en-suite just a bigger bed in a Normal en-suite sized room or is it an actual bigger room? Would you say there’s a difference between opal court A B C and D ? Thank you xx

[@MaryOsode]

This accommodation is a Large en-suite in opal court (block c). I would say the room itself is a little bigger. The bed is double rather than a single bed and the desk area is much longer. I hope that helps 💓

[@juanitakankam-hoppe6327]

Thank you so much for your reply, would you say it was easy making friends ? X

[@MaryOsode]

J K yeah it actually was. I lived in opal with two of my friends from school but we made loads of friends in our accom who we went to motives with. Everyone is really friendly so you will be fine 💓

[@juanitakankam-hoppe6327]

Okay, thank you so much ☺️ xx good luck with your studies 💗

hiii. which accomodation would you say is nicer between nixon and opal court?

[@MaryOsode]

I stayed in opal court block c which was the refurbished blocks so it was really nice and only 5 min walk to campus. Nixon is the closest accom to the university and the modern blocks are just as nice as opal. So it depends on what your preference is. I would choose opal but I’m biased😉

[@vanessa-ul7nj]

Mary Osode thank you for replying! For a first year, would you say opal court is good for socializing and meeting new people? Or is Nixon a better option

[@MaryOsode]

I didn't live in Nixon so I can't really say. But for me living in Opal court the people I am friends with now I met them from my time living at opal. It was such a great place to meet people and socialise. They would host games night in the common room and different people had parties in different blocks which was really fun. So if you are quite an outgoing person opal is deffo a good option.

@@MaryOsode Also please how is laundry? heard its bare expensive or is it just in the old buildings?

[@MaryOsode]

@@vanessa-ul7nj well opal court used circuit which you can access via the app and when I stayed there it was £3.50 for super wash and £1.50 to dry your clothes. I'm not sure if it is the same or more expensive now.

Hey nice vid. I was wondering whether all the kitchen hobs in opal were modern like yours (induction) or are some old? Thank u💕

[@MaryOsode]

I stayed in Opal Court Block C and the kitchens were all induction. But some of my friends in the other blocks had the old hobs. I’m not sure if it has been modernised now. I would check the accommodation website ✨ hope that helps x

Hi I would like to ask what is the difference between opal court block A&D and opal court block B & C ? And is this room ur first choice when apply for accomodation? I worry I cnt get the first choice for accomodation as it is seem there is only few hostel that near to campus

[@MaryOsode]

JCJC 9898 There isn’t really a difference between each blocks. But from what I remember one block is specifically for international students. Also, I didn’t know much about Leicester but when I asked a friend who was currently studying here she told me to choose opal court because the accom was close to campus (less than 5min walk). I was lucky to get my first choice which was this room. But just make sure that your 2nd choice is calm because you will most likely get your first if you apply early. Good luck ❤️🙏🏾

[@JCJC-mk7jk]

Mary Osode wow thank you very much for ur kindness reply ☺️☺️ it is help! Can I ask u around what month u start to apply for this accommodation? And how was the study environment around university of Leicester? I struggled to decide whether to go liverpool,cardiff or Leicester 😂

[@MaryOsode]

JCJC 9898 I applied literally on results day and was able to get this accommodation as my first choice. Also, the study environment is really good😂 people know when to be serious in Leicester don’t worry 😊 I know for a fact Leicester wasn’t my initial choice but now that I’m here I don’t regret a thing🙏🏾❤️ I hope you can make a decision that makes you happy

[@JCJC-mk7jk]

Mary Osode okay thank you a lot for your advice ! I will go to survey on it and decide which uni suitable for me ☺️
