Advantages: Loads of cool people

Disadvantages: far from uni

I have just finished my first year at Hull uni and I loved every second of it. One of the things that has made the last year so good was where I lived, the Lawns complex. The lawns consists of six halls, a mini market and 'the centre'. The halls were all built in the 60's and this is reflected in their interior, lets just say that brown is the predominant colour and they are not the brightest place in the world. Howvever once you have moved your stuff in and got over the shock of the miniscule bed (possibly a ONE PERSON ONE BED scheme, although it still fails!!), your hall will fill up with everyone elses junk and rubbish and will begin to look and feel like a home. Think of your bedroom at home at its messiest, it is like living in a large version of that room and never having to tidy it!!! (well maybe i lived in an unnecessarily scruffy hall!). It is excellent for first years to live here as you are in the same position as everyone else and make friends really quickly. With so many students around it is hard not to meet like-minded people, find friends and yes if you really want to you could pull one of the unwashed scruffs who live there!!
The only real disadvantages are
1: the food, if you have the composite scheme, is disgusting. That is no exaggeration, we used to mash our leftovers up at the end of the meal just so they couldn't use them in the next day!!(they probably still did though).
2: it is quite a long way to uni, the bus costs £1.70 return and it will take you an hour to walk, oh and it rains a lot.
3:the cleaneras are allowed to take your pots away after 24 hours of them being dirty, might pay off to have paper plates!!
4:the mini market has bizarre opening hours and is never open
Advantages...everything else, the bar, the guy who looks like stavros with a kevin keegan perm who works there, the people, the late night drinking sessions on the grass, thunderstorms, cheap beer, cheep beer, EVERYTHING!!
