Personal comments
It is often a good idea, if you do not know anyone, because it facilitates getting to know people. A downfall could be a lack of privacy and a rural location.

Makesure you go to a few different buildings....The university is spread all over the city so you can have class in the the hills in the morning and bang in the city centre in the evening
