University of Salford, Halls of Residence John Lester Court

[celebritymurderparty]

Blimey. I was there at John Lester in 1994-1995. The rooms haven't changed one bit. even the furniture is the same.

A local threw themselves off of the 13th floor about 5 weeks into the first term..

What did you apply for when getting accommodation? Was it a two bedroom flat? Cuz when i try to apply, thats the smallest living arrangement possible but i only want a small one bedroom flat like yours!

@seventhstreett I know you asked this ages ago, but in case anyone else on here has the same question: there are no "one bedroom flats"... Each flat has 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms with a shared kitchen and bathroom. You aren't expected to share a bedroom with anyone else, if that's what you were thinking.

[fahimrz]

no mate, there are no rooms on first, just offices, reception and common room. common room looks pretty funky and cook now, used to be shit when i was there but they refurbished it few months back.

hey good video, would be cool if you give a clip of the kitchen, corridors and if you have time the bathroom lol. Ive applied for j lester but it didn't give me the option of a 3/4 bedroom on the application form.

is john lester a good place to live for first years?

[fahimrz]

yes...definately. Closer to town centre, uni and train station. JL and EC are next to each other, though both are a bit further from town centre than Bramell and Mathias but then Mathias and Bramell are further away from uni and train station. Not a big issue though

rooms in the middle 4 bedroom flats (flat 3,6) are slightly bigger, but nothing to shout about.
