Bird College Accommodation.

Post by jesajo »

My dd will be starting Bird College in September. I have been looking for accommodation for her. Do first years usually go in halls or do they house share. She is 18 and would house share. Roughly does anybody know how much it costs per week or is there anybody dds or ds who are at the college now . Thanks

Hi

Has everyone going to Bird this September sorted out accommodation?
I was told to wait but am getting concerned there will be no nice places left to rent if DD is unsuccessful in being offered something in Halls.

Also, do they put all the Bird students together in Avery Hall or are they pepper potted throughout the building with Greenwich uni students anyone know?

When we visited two weeks ago they said that the accommodation details come out in July. I asked if this may be too late and she said that all of the students always get somewhere. There seems to be more available around there than at other places such as Laine.

Thank you; I understand Halls are being allocated between Monday 15th August and 25th August so fingers crossed.

Well done to all for places so far. For anyone starting Bird in September, my daughter will be on 3rd year and is sharing a lovely four bedroom flat
A room has come up available if anyone is interested please pm me. There will be two 3rd years and one first year, so they are looking for another first year girl on a three year course to even it out. Good luck to everyone still waiting for places.

Hi
well done to all those with offers for Bird, my DD is just finishing her first year degree and loves it.

She was in halls and is looking to share with the 4 others in the flat she is in halls with at the moment. I was wondering whether any of you are aware of any 3rd year students about to vacate a 5 bed house in the vicinity of the college. So has just missed out on 2 properties to rent and was told to look again in August, as that is when the next wave of properties will come on the market. Needless to say I am worried August is leaving it to late.

Any info greatly appreciated.

We have now booked halls as 1st year but I did do some phoning around a few months back and most said it would be around July before they had anything. If my notes are correct these read:

Village Lettings - 0203 0111 222 - 4 or 5 bed house around £1800 plus bills
Drewery lettings - Tel number ? - 5 bed around £1900
Belvoir (Joe) - Tel number ? 4 or 5 bed around £1750 a month.

I got the people off google when put in letting offices in Sidcup so you should be able to find the numbers again.

I did ring about 6 others but these are the companies that seemed to think they would have lets come up and were more helpful.

I had asked for furnished and that they allowed students.

Hope this helps

Are these prices per month then shared between 4 or 5?
