Hi, accommodation at Sandhurst is good. You spend your first term (14 weeks) in Old College (the big white building that you see in all the Sandhurst Pictures) and usually you'd have your own room. Room is a single bed, desk, cupboard, drawers etc. It's nice. There's also free wifi. Some of the boys sometimes have to share (ie 2 to a room) but not always - depends on the numbers in the intake. There's a bathroom for the females and a bathroom for the guys. These are much like you'd get in a leisure centre (loos and showers) and there's also a couple of baths in their own cubicles too. After the first term you move to a different college on camp (New College, Victory College etc) and accommodation is pretty much the same. Although the colleges are clearly old the rooms are a decent size and probably the cleanest you;ll ever stay in as you spend so much time on room inspections (especially in the first term) - Old College must literally be one the cleanest places ever!! After week 5 at Sandhurst you can make your room your own; photos / pictures all over it, LED lights, own bedding etc etc. Certainly after you move and you know you're going to spend 2 terms in your room people tend to bring alsorts of stuff back to make their rooms homely! I hope that helps.
