The Grange

Location is great, flat is small and non communal. Bathroom and kitchen are a bit grotty but liveable.

The grange was the most basic out of all the halls at york St. John, it was extremely basic compared to the other halls that were available. I was in a house not a flat, my housemates were alright but they put a lot of the international Chinese students at the grange who used to party ALL night

Well, half of it is Ben renovated but it's just not the best at all. I don't know the new bit but the old one is just smelly and sticky. Most of the rooms are normal size although the new part is lacking storage space for what I've seen. I've been in st marys house and the Grange and my both rooms are quite decent. The room in the Grange house (the one I'm currently staying in) in got a window which doesn't close properly, and when it's cold, it's -1° in my room. I've called accomodation team and they sent someone who apparently couldn't open the door for some reason and I wasn't in and they haven't come back yet. And my chair is broken and they aren't coming to fix it either so that is quite bad. Have fun with the dam fire alarm! Any time of the night is good to set it off. My sleepy patterns where awful when I was in at Mary's . Apparently from that I actually love it. It's really social and we are all like a big family. However they have to short out the closing times for the blue gate cos it's a joke. They are meant to ensure that we are safe and they make us go the bloody long way at 3 am walking drunk after a night out! Recipe for desaster. And yeah... WiFi is s**t in general. Everywhere.
