Halls Of Residence in general

Halls of residence, what a thing to do a review on, there are as many halls as there are educational establishments. I am sure some are good, and some are bad, there are as many opinions of the subject as there are Dooyoo'ers (Is that a word?) I will speak of the only one I have had experience of, Coventry, and also give my own opinion on Halls in general. My experience comes from my Son attending Coventry University, and like many other Uni's he was required to stay in Halls for his first year. I must say that there is a minimum standard in these places, and by and large, most reach it, there are of course times when things are not as planned, but ...  Read the complete review

I live in Pelsall and when I decided to go to Staffordshire University but the Stoke-on-Trent campus I couldn’t drive and with the commute on the train over an hour, the best choice was for me to go and live at university.

There was room enough for five people and the people who I met were fantastic. We all got along apart from with one person who kept themselves to themselves and it was nice being only a few of us as we managed to bond quickly. When I ...  Read the complete review

It may seem now that you will never escape from gcses and they will be absolute torture- but fear not they'll be over before you know it. And in choosing your options- it may seem now, because its the most important decision you have had to make so far, that this is the be all and end all. It isn't- no matter what rubbish your teachers spout out. If you just do what you enjoy then that will naturally lead to the next stage. I can't advise you on every subject as I didn't do them all! but I'll give you as best as I can insight to those I did do and those my friends did. I wont bother telling you about ones you are forced to take as theres no point ...  Read the complete review

++++ ROOM ++++ 99 times outta a 100 students will walk into their new home for a year and think 'F**k me what a s**thole' and upon glancing into their parents eyes they will get the 'I know its a bloody dump but theres no way your not moving out of my house' look. But its not that bad you can actually turn your room into something nice, somethuing you can call home and strangely something you may even miss (*sob* 7F2 *sob*). This is a list of things that I wish I'd been given b4 i went to uni, that way I'd have a decent room from the word go. 1. Buy loads of posters, take pictures of mates, or if you don't have any just wander ...  Read the complete review
