  It's close to both the uni and the town centre. Popular among students. A lot of students living in the area.

  Maintenance is awesome, the fire alarm drills and tests are a bit too much though, they test the alarm every week on tuesdays and it's the loudest most obnoxious sound you'll hear all week until the next. also, the showers are pretty nice, but they have automatic lights for some reason, now that we have shower doors, the lights turn off when I'mm washing my hair and I have to turn off the water, brave the cold and wave around like a wet seagull until it cooperates. Central and local heating is awesome too.

  Accommodation
  
  Compared prices, living off campus doesn't just amount to the prices they indicate, you have to remember that you'll be paying for water, gas, electricity and internet separately. Just that can make living in the pricy campus worth it, I'll be saving £1000 by being in a townhouse. Not to mention that it's safer.

  Accommodation
  
  I've lived on campus for 2 years, different accommodation each time and both have lived up to, if not surpassed my expectations. Storage is great however having some storage for over summer is much needed as it can be hectic moving everything home just to bring it back 3 months later. The majority of my flat-mates are respectful however a couple of them are inconsiderate and quite messy with no effort to clean up after themselves.

  There is a lot of mental health support available and i have a mentor however it doesn't eliminate the cause of the stress which is a lack of finances. Especially when you can't rely on family or friends for help.
