Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.

I found it is easier in halls despite certain difficulties because of the 24/7 security being available and it being near to campuses or on campuses. The first halls I was in was ...

As I am in my final year, I have more individual work to do, though my supervisor has been really helpful with my final major project.
