  Accommodation
  
  My neighbourhood is very close to the university which is helpful for going to scheduled teaching and volunteer activities on campus. I live next door to a newsagents which is good for getting essentials and am on a good bus route but further away from town and supermarkets than would be ideal

  Accommodation
  
  I live about 2 minutes away from campus and the walk into town is about 15 minutes. It is mostly populated by students because of the close proximity to campus. Within a 5 minute walk is a One Stop and a pub. I have already renewed the contract to live here again next year.
