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: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? No fire drills at stupid o'clock, no hassle with the accomodation office staff!
Personal comments:
The facilities can't be described other than atrocious. In my apartment, the bathroom was something of a disgrace (constantly overflooded due to leaks in plumbing), however, getting it fixed turned out to be a problem and the accomodation office staff was extremely unhelpful!

Old Street (Hoxton) is pretty good for laid-back pubs and bars, I also liked Covent Garden (bit touristy though) and Camden (<= if the hippie-thing is up your alley)
