HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Halls of Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Halls of Residence
Why? Best place to meet people.
Personal comments:
The hall I was in (King's College Hall) had lots of facilites, which was really good, but the neighbourhood is so dangerous that I can not recommend it to anybody. I think King's College is insane to leave a hall in such an area open.
