Halls Of Residence At De Montfort University

I am writing this opinion from first hand experience. Unlike Meggienoo_d and LouisaNott, I have just spent the past nine months living in Scraptoft Halls. I agree that the halls themselves might not be aesthetically pleasing but they are well maintained and situated in a really nice area of Leicester.
