Accommodation in generalNewest Review: ... had to get a bus in to uni everyday( luckily for new students this is no longer used ). The advantage of this however, was that the 100 or so students there formed a small community, lots of parties, relationships (and fueds) most of my best friends were made at those halls. The first year in halls is the best time you'll have at uni - it is also the time when you'll meet the people you'll share a house with in the 2nd year. ( 1st years will get to go to a 'find a house' day where they will meet others who haven't got a hall place and find a house!) The most popular place for students to live in rented houses is ... more |

De montfort Accomodation is too far away. It is very nice though and offers a variety of different types of accomodation for you to chose from. The are halls that are at least 3 miles away in Oadby and it takes about three hours walk to get to the uni itself. After the first year you can live in the private sector and the choice here is alot better with good quality accomodation being available close by. The overall standard of accomadation is good, but try and stay at freemans common where it is closer. ...
