Logement

Type de logement: Sur le campus

Organisé par: Université d'accueil

Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Sur le campus

Pourquoi?

Halls of residence are well expensive, but it's the best way to meet English students. Also the common facilities are generally good (bar, computer room, tv rooms, laundrette etc.) and there are parties/activities organised. Everybody is complaining about the food, but cooking everyday is not my idea of fun, so I didn't mind that either.

Commentaire personnel

In my days, Tapton and Sorby sucked. However, Sorby was merged with Earnshaw so it might have improved. Apartments are all close to the Halls (except for Victoria - in the city centre). In case you really can't afford pre-arranged housing, you can go to the message board in the student union. Plenty of rooms offered, but not the best way to immerge in the student life..

Having a conversation in slang, in a busy bar is a lot more difficult than you think. Keep socialising with the Brits, it gets better!

Commentaire personnel

Opening a bank account is difficult! Go to NatWest Broomhill. Messageboard in the student union for second hand stuff. IT centres are ussually quite crowded (especially around exams). Try the one at the Economics department, it's a walk but it's open all night.

Recommandation personnelle

If you like to meet loads of people and go clubbing every night, than this is the place to be. If you're more into classical music, musea and jazz - try a different university.
