Accommodation in general
Newest Review: ... it's very likely I would get into halls. A while after my poor exam results I was offered to change my course to a different one at Brighton because my grades weren't too good. So I did this and it was getting nearer and nearer to the start of my first day at Brighton and I still hadn't heard from them about my halls. It was about 2 weeks before I started and I thought I would phone them only to find out that I wasn't in halls and they hadn't bothered to tell me!!!

This is far from the truth as there are many agencies that offer rental properties most of which are specialists in providing the type of housing that the typical student will require. The University itself has a decent accommodation department which will handle the needs of new and incoming students. They can also provide people with lists of available properties ranging from 1 bed to hostel sizes. My first year was spent in a privately owned house which the University took agent repsonsibility for. There were 20 people living in ...
