Personal comments
yeah comiming a month ahead of the beginning of the course, just rose the budget share dedicated to housing> I had to work to cope. Otherwise, having the low ocst coach and a few airport in the surroundings, just help if you want to travel for cheap using Ryan air, esayjet and megabus, to discover Scotland or Italy.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
To have some privacy,and be able to work in more isolated conditions> we were sharing with first year student. The ae difference between postgraduate student and fresh year one is huge. We don't have the same priorities at the end of uni year.

Personal comments
Student housing could have been better in tye sense, we share about 12 rooms in each floor, in each hall. The halls look like prison cells, in theirselves. I was also living in the oldest student Hall, which has been refurbirshed after my departure.
