Anyone know anything about the shared housing on Magpie lane/Merton close? Can't see any photos online anywhere. Would just like to know if there are many en suite available, whether they are decent sized rooms etc.

I can tell you what they were like 20 years ago, but they may well have changed since then. Reasonable size rooms not ensuite.

To add if I were given the choice I would pick 25 Staverton Road, presuming it is still used for graduate accommodation.

Looks like it's just Magpie Lane, Haberton mead or Merton street. Doesn't say whether there's a choice or if you just get allocated.

Haberton Mead is since my time. Would be ideal for someone based at the hospital or science labs I would have thought. Probably better than Merton Street or Magpie lane. They do pledge to all newcomers in college accommodation so I would not worry too much, probably best just to ring them up and talk to them about it.
