Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

because it is a good mean to speak English, but I would like to live with less than 5 persons. It is not quiet enough to study.

There are three Halls of Residence: - Glamorgan Court: The best one. Six rooms per flat, clean and modern, shared kitchen but toilet and shower of your own (this is great). I am here. - Phillip Evans: Bedroom of your own (with a hand basin), kitchen and toilets showers shared with other people (6 or 8, I don't remember). Not especially clean. - Forest Hall: Bedroom with hand basin. Shared toilet and showers. No kitchen. Catering is provided. I wouldn't like this, as no dinner is provided and there's no kitchen, so people must spend money on snacks and food separately. Apart from that, if you don't like the food they give you, bad for you...
