Personal comments
The thing about Buckingham is that nothing much goes on in town itself, for excitement and entertainment you either have to wait for the party at the uni or go outside Bucks, which is most commonly what all students do. The closest place with all the fun is Milton Keynes and of course Oxford. In Milton Keynes it is really worth going to Excape-movies, shopping, restaurants and, (yei!) snowboarding and bowling! Also this place has quite a few nightclubs. Don't forget to visit Oceana!

Personal comments
The housing is pretty good, clean and tidy. The things that could be better (and they are working on it now) is to provide a toilet and shower in each room (rather than the existing shared ones), internet points at each room, so you can use the fast university network straight from your room.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in a house or apartment gives more room, independence and helps to study. On campus it's quite hard, because the rooms are pretty small and you have neighbours that might not respect your need for privacy and tidyness.

Personal recommendation
This uni is a very different place and the whole atmosphere influences people unbelievably. I don't think anything can be changed about it. It's only for two years and nobody seems to care much.

Final comments
If you choose Buckingham please be very careful with what you do and who you socialize with. People are interested in knowing every little detail about you, even if they don't know you. Sometimes it can be very frustrating (they don't normally come up with nice things to say no matter what kind of person you are).
