Accommodation in general
Newest Review: ... away from the uni whilst still being in the boundaries of Stafford & 2 most of the nearby accomodation is unavailable because it's army housing. Therefore there is the common problem of travelling to the university. Most people try to limit this problem by living in the estates on the other side of the army base and that is as near as you can get. This means about a 30-45 min walk to Uni every day.

Dear All, My mates at uni have one of the top places to live possible. Unfortuanly it is slowly breaking up as they go back to there perspective homes. The gaff is a hip hop hive of activity. It buzzes with light and colour and fantastic things. It is used for regular drunkard activities...many a frijj fight has happened there. Also sparring mates are a plenty. its a top place! I would recommend anyone in Stafford staying there. Basically a wonderful enrgetic place which will live long and prosper...much like my gorgoues irish girlfriend Claire! ...
