Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Those houses builded with red bricks are just so typical! Moreover, the student halls of residence are a bit... gloomy. Saw them and didn't like. Also easier to organize parties!

Personal comments
Take care, the university was supposed to arrange something for me, but I received a mail, in July, saying that I finally had to search for something on my own!

Travel tip: with Megabus, you can get a return trip to London in a coach for £2.5! Which means you could go there every week end! Don't miss Stonehenge, the Isle of Wigth, Winchester and New Forest.
