Type of housing: Apartment/House

Personal comments

University provided a list of all the available houses, which was a great service because otherwise it would have been difficult to find a place other than a room in hall of residence.

Personal comments
Living in student accommodation gave me an opportunity to meet students with different cultural backgrounds. Although the price of accommodation was rather high, and some facilities had a poor standard, overall I have enjoyed my stay in university halls of residence.
