Accommodation

Residential accommodation deadline is 8th August 2011

Accommodation at BiCon is all self-catering. Accommodation on-site is available for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. BiCon ends on the Sunday afternoon.

BiCon is offering two types of room this year – standard and en suite. Both are mostly in flats of six. There are ground floor rooms available in both. All bedrooms contain a single bed with bedding (sheets, blankets or duvet) and two pillows, a wardrobe and desk. A bath towel and a hand towel are provided. All rooms are lockable.

En suite rooms have a shower, sink and toilet for each of the six rooms in the flat. The en suite flats have a larger kitchen than the standard flats and an electric oven instead of a two-plate hob and grill.

Standard rooms have a wash basin in the room. There are two shared shower, sink and toilet rooms per flat (one per three rooms) and one kitchen per flat . The kitchens have a two-plate hob and grill instead of a cooker.

A note on quieter/party flats

Some people like to party throughout a BiCon whereas others need their sleep to enjoy themselves. We aim to meet everyone's needs by giving people a choice about the general theme of their flat.  We don't want to dictate who does what during the day, but a quiet flat should be 'sleep-quiet' after 10/11pm
