Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I rather live in the city centre. the Jarratt Hall building was great to party and meet people but it was overpriced with the downside of limited internet service provider Damovo Connect which gave 200mb a day... and people got banned when passing the limited bandwidth. the water was a bit limited sometimes.

In Birmingham the student houses are normal. The student area is a bit dirty and poor, but it's very closed to the Univeristy and the house are not so bad. . I lived in a student residence and the organization was nice and the place was brand new, so I have had a good experience.

the housing at the uni accomodation is very excellent. meet people of different cultures and races and share a great variety of ideas. However I think the cost is too expensive the universit could do something to lower the cost of the rents and bills.

Accomodation in Halls is alright during your first year, because you meet lots of people. If you need to study, on the other hand, Halls are much too noisy.

Selly Oak has a great student atmosphere and is very near the university and the pubs. It's also where most of the house-parties are held.
