Lewes Court Phase One

In my time at university the Lewes Court residences were the sterile modern ones where the partys never seemed to be as good and the people never seemed to make as many friends. I probably say most of this out of jealousy though, as I myself lived in the grottier Park Village, where we may have had cheaper rent but this came with mouldy walls and stained carpets. If I’d lived in Lewes Court I’d probably have liked it more, but my friends who lived there tended to prefer coming to mine, not finding it too sociable or cosy there. Saying that, I expect Lewes court is no longer the posho residence now, with the two newer residences by the station and by Bramber House.

My very lovely girlfriend lived in Lewes Court Phase One during our first year at university. She is no longer my lovely girlfriend — just lovely — but if one good thing did come out of our relationship, it was the fact that I can now review Lewes Court Phase One for you, the reader.
LCPO has a number of rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, but there were also studio flats (one of which was the home to the lovely one). These were gorgeous little rooms with a bed, desk, internet facilites, kitchette and en-​suite shower room. The rooms were clean and modern and gave the occupier a nice feeling of independence.
One of the major drawbacks however, was the lack of social interaction with other students. If you are a sociable person it is fine, but if shyness prevails, it may be difficult for you to make friends in your halls, as the rooms are self-​contained and pretty cut off.
If you are a sociable person though, they are great because you can socialise until the cows come home, but when you go to bed, you know your kitchen and bathroom will be how you left them and your privacy will be under your control.

During our first year of University, some of my best friends had the good fortune of staying in this fine abode, and, as they had a Playstation 2, a multitap, and comfortable seating, I found myself relaxing round their’s quite a lot. Consequently, I think it would be fair to say that I have a rather intimate knowledge of Lewes Court Phase One. Based on this experience, I am forced to assert that this is really quite a nice place to stay. You share a bathroom, shower, and a very large kitchen and seating area with about five other people. The décor and fittings are modern, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The price to stay here though is slightly more than other residencies, costing about £98.40 per week. with all service charges inclusive. Furthermore, although this accommodation may be nicer than most of the other places available on campus, you won’t meet as many people staying here.
