HOUSING    
by AMALIA, Pantion Panepistimio Kinonikon Kai Politikon Epistimon, Athens, Greece
Translation/ Interpretation, Master's Degree
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.

Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Private Student Accomodation
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because in Leeds there is a lot of cheaper, affordable accomodation for students to choose from. The other students that lived in the hall where extremely noisy and got back drunk and moody every single night!
Personal comments:
Being a EU postgrad meant that the university couldn't provide on campus accomodation, so I can't really comment on that.
