  Accommodation
  
  Live in southsea mix between students and non students. Near to few supermarkets and short walk from uni bus stop. 30 min walk from uni. Just far away enough that you can get away and forget about uni and still close enough to commute easily. Like the area, feel safe, amenities near, would live here again
