Accommodation in generalNewest Review: ... get a washbasin in your room so you can do your teeth and stuff there! The only feature that would make our flat complete would be some sort of a living room thing; its what i miss most! However, we do have a massive kitchen/diner thing, so we have improvised by putting all the armchairs from our rooms down one end of it to create a make-shift living room. It does the job! Broad Lane Court (and Mappin Court too) are excellently situated. If you are one of the lucky few who manages to get a place here then you have everything close by. West St, which includes loads of shops, bars and take-aways plus the all-important Tesco Express (... more |

Halls is definitely the place to spend your first year at university, the year you spend in halls is different to anything else. You make so many friends because you're thrown together in this new environment, everyone is in the same boat and so everyone is as scared as everyone else. It's probably the first time you've been living away from your parents and so it's gonna be very daunting, you are actually gonna have to look after yourself for a change. Halls eases you into the independance thing, with main meals being provided so you only have to fend for yourself at lunchtimes. Everyone complains about the food, and yeah it's not great, ...
