  It's outside the city because I've lived inner city for three years so wanted a change. I'm glad for it because I don't have typical party and our student scene. I get the quite chill living space I've wanted for a while.

  Just in general the fact the tuition went up and tutoring hasn't gotten better in any fashion other than better facilities which even then tend to fail. Can't tuition be cheaper so we don't have to have as much debt or at least make some affordable and livable student accommodation near unis.

  Accommodation
  
  The accommodation is lovely, it exceeded expectation. The location is extremely good, only a 3 minute walk from my uni building. The common areas in the flat are good with sofas, a TV, kitchen area and dining table. The common rooms in each block are very open and clean with a pool table, a TV and lots of places to study or socialise. The accommodation feels safe and clean and most of the facilities new. The worst aspect could be that maintenance are not very reliable and sometimes hard to get hold of.

  Accommodation
  
  We started early because things seemed to be going fast. We went to loads of viewings looking to rent a 5 bed property but they were either very run down or very expensive. All the middle price/quality housing had gone. We wanted to sign for one house but the land lady promised us half rent over the summer and then went back on her decision. We then put down reservation fees on a 5 bed and one of the girls we were with dropped out so we lost the house before signing the leas. Finally my parents decided to look for a house to buy for us 4 girls that were left and they are still looking.

  Our year has been messed about as we didn't have modules and teaching the years before and after had. The course is good except some Lecturers don't care much for students.
