"Uni Accomodation"

Got my form to fill in for accomodation for uni which is a little unnerving, its the final step in a lot of ways I suppose. Just wanted to get a bit of feedback from those of you already at a uni.

Which is the best, in your opinion, kind of room to have:

Normal/halls

Cluster blocks (6-8 rooms and shared bathroom/kitchen)

Cluster blocks with en-suite (for those scared to poo in a shared bathroom)

Off-campus house (generally cheaper I think but more travel)



Thanks a lot in advance.

In the first year it doesn't really matter if your uni doesn't count the first years marks towards your final grade.

Turn up, get average grades, do all the work that NEEDS to be done and live where you like - the first year's a joke.

Most places kick you out of halls for the second year unless you become a hall warden.

Do what's easier in the first year, and if you're going to a uni in a rough area go into halls so you can learn where not to go as a student for the 2nd and 3rd years.

Yep, most of the cluster blocks I saw had that.

Depends what's really offered at each Uni. The on campus accomodation at York consists of clusters of rooms, each with a kitchen and either shared bathroom or each with en-suite. I think...

I'm going to University of Central Lancashire.

Say where you're going then maybe people already there will be able to tell you which is the best.

Presonally I chose a shared flat/house type thing en suite. The clusters of rooms on a corridor don't really offer any social gathering place, which is a bit rubbish, really.

Still havent received mine from York, replied to my offers ages ago. I shall most likely go for a cheaper option, which is a room w/ basin and shared kitchen and toilets between about 8 or so people.
