Advantages: Built from scratch in 2005, good facilities, social life

Disadvantages: Drugs

this is my first year in halls of residence. The halls were build brand new so everything is modern and set out neatly. There is a section for hgher education and a section for further education thn a shared sommon room which has, games machines, a pool table, sofas, chairs, tables, a TV and drinks machines. The bedrooms are standard but comfy, they include a standard size single bed, a bathroom pod which includes a toilet, hand basin and shower, a wardrobe, a set f 3 draws, 2 drawing boards, a desk, a chair, a coat rail, 3 shelves and every room has a window. The rooms are fitted with curtains, carpet, a mattress, a bin, an electronic safe and a fire alarm. The windows only open a couple of inches for safety reasons but that is pleanty to get air into the room. All the rooms are non smoking. The kitchn contains 2 refrigerators/freezers, a sink, a cooker, a microwave oven, a kettle, a table, 4-6 chairs, 10-14 cupboards, fire alarm, a mop and mop bucket, a sweeping brush, a vaccum, a bin and a drawing board. All flats have a fire extinguisher and fire blanket. All areas are lit sufficienltly and you can only get into the flats using your key. This is a great place to meet new people but you have to follow rules as fines are inmposed. Buxton is a fairly small place so there is not much to do and some people turn to drugs but they are easy to avoid.

Summary: A great place to live, really feels like home in next to no time!
