Advantages: Cheap and close to centre of campus

Disadvantages: BAD

That probably sounds harsh and over dramatic. But let me set the scene. The cars packed up with all your junk that you wouldn't be able to survive without and you are ready to leave for the University of your choice. Mine was Lancaster. What a foolish girl I was. My home for my first year was to be Bowland College, which I later came to think of as a den of evil and despair.When the lovely porter, Colin showed to my corridor my mother unlocked the door to my new home and there it was.PRISON.
My room looked like something from porridge only worse. The walls were decorated in the fashion of spearmint polos. I felt as if my life had ended and I was in striplighted hell.
After some beverages at the bar on my first night I realised that my life had really just begun I had freedom which is what everyone craved and the student kitchness of my new living quarters was bearable even though Pendle college looked like a palace compared to Bowland. The moral behind this opinion is not, as you may have thought, that alcohol will solve all problems, its that you make the best of what you have got.
Going to University was the best thing that ever could have happened to me and if I had to live in a hovel well it only added to my life experience and has helped me appreciate the good things in life.
So on your first day of university don't run away try and look on the bright side.
Good Luck and Goodbye.
P.S Don't pick Bowland College.
