University of Nottingham review by Emeline

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: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? This solution is surely costly, but still less than living in a house. Moreover, Florence Boot Hall was very friendly and close to the University (5 minutes walk).
Personal comments:
The Accomodation Services really makes all its possible to satisfy the students' requirements. They are absolutly available for any questions and/or problem that you could encounter. The Personnel in Florence Boot Hall was trumendously polite and helpful. Eventually, I do recommend to all students this type of accomodation on the campus.
