I've read through all the comments here and Brookfield seems great. Don't worry The reason why it might be dull was the fact that first years were not all together in the same block before, but now they are. It will be fine. :cool:

Please don't use text-speak. You've a full keyboard available to you and you're not six. It's specifically mentioned in the forum charter for a reason.

It's very annoying though in fairness.

Going down tomorrow, can't wait!

wonderingabout

I moved into a 3 bed in brookfield today, i immediately picked the room with the double bed however i just discovered that i can't lock the front door to my room.

I can lock the door which leads into my actual room but there is another door which leads into a mini hallway outside my bedroom door which has no lock at all. this basically means anyone can use my bathroom???

does anyone have any experience with this?
I know one of my housemates from college & we decided to live together so i know she won't have any mad parties or anything.

Im just worried that my other housemate (whom i haven't met yet) may have friends over who may use my bathroom.

I just find it really weird that i could be in bed while someone comes in to use my bathroom ??? :eek:

This may not seem a big deal seeing as i only have two housemates but i lived in plassey last year & there was basically no such thing as privacy or respect for other peoples belongings, rooms, feeling etc...:(

I have been in a few Brookfield apartments and Im nearly sure that not all the rooms have an ensuite so that your bathroom is actually a shared one hence no lock on the outside door!

All the rooms are ensuite so there is no such thing as a shared bathroom.

I seriously doubt anyone will come in and use your bathroom but if you're really worried just put a chair up against it or something.

i know for a fact that all the rooms are ensuite so this is my bathroom.
Why would they put it inside my door if it was shared & why would my other housemates have ensuites if they needed a shared bathroom? makes no sense.

Ya i guess a chair will have to do !

Finally got my internet working. Didn't realise wireless wasn't an option and then found out you xan get the DSL cables from reception but one of my ports didn't work and the other was broken but I finally managed to get it!

I've a front room facing out onto the street. Brill all together. Only downside is that I can hear EVERYTHING when people go past!

Blondiegirl2009

Brookfield people should meet up:) I dont think theres any first years living in my block. And the block opposite is older people who sometimes stand at the window and stare at you. For ages. Until you close the blind:rolleyes:

thewheel2.0

What ye all think bout Kilmurry? I'm living there and its a bit mad! house party's every night like. Our house is wrecked every morning:rolleyes::D

snazzy

Bit mad alright. I'm haven't gone to one yet and we certainly won't be having them but will get a round to it soon.
