Advantages: It's where the mojority of other students live

Disadvantages: It's just plain nasty!

As a new student at Birmingham university I am disgusted at the housing that they offer students. Not to mention the food! For the first 3 weeks of term our flat in Maple Bank had no heating or hot water. The rooms are infested - we all wake up in the morning with bites all over us. The rooms are damp and so nothing can be left on the floor or the windowsill.
The food served in the halls is literally terrible and unidentifyable. All this for about £3000 a year! Aren't I the lucky one?!
Nobody expects university accomodation to be wonderful but for the money that we pay I think that we should be able to expect places where there is hot water and heating not to mention rooms without god knows what living in them too.
So my advice for anyone going to university and Birmingham in particular is to check out the accomodation before you apply and to make sure that you have a list of numbers that you can complain to!
