Housing

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?

Personal comments
Residential facilities on campus are well equiped and they are located so close to university facilities. Good rooms woth private bathroom, shared kitchen and laundry premises. Nice ambient. The only dissapointing issue could be frequent fire alarms during the night, and that it's really hard to get a room here.

Travelling it's easy by public transport or renting a car. There are low cost buses and low cost car rentals. For accommodation while travelling across the country it's a good idea to check out the numerous youth hostels.
For accommodation on campus it's necessary to aply asap. To look for rooms or shared flats in the city it's handful the web page www.gumtree.com.uk
