lemonkettaz · 10 Mar 2006 at 23:33

Im starting in september.

and somebody that is already there who lives at home has asked if i wana move into private accomodation with him and someone else...

would this be better than me moving into uni accomodation by myself?

would i still be entitled to the loans to help pay for the living arrangements.. as its pricey..
?

i know jack because ive had no information sent to me, just to tell me to reply to my offers by may

I'd recommend going into halls etc on your own. You will make some great friends (hopefully

) that you can have great fun with all through uni.

Definitely halls without a doubt. You will have the best time of your life. I've been lucky enough to be in halls for 3 years and its amazing.

cant you only stay in the halls for a year?

lemonkettaz · 10 Mar 2006 at 23:37

Yes (at most places). Most people get a house with the friends they make in halls at the end of the first year.

Its something you really have to experience to understand fully. Basically all my friends are within a minute of my door. When I'm bored I can just pop over to someones room and have a chat/drink. You dont ever have to arrange to meet people in the evening, you just go around getting people and then go to a pub or something. A lot of people meet their best friends (the ones they stay in touch with for life) in halls. . . its worth doing :-)

. You wont get any of that living in a house.

Deffinately go into halls in the first year. Its total and utter madness for a whole year, and a great laugh. Then in the second and third year you can get private accomodation, where it is a bit quieter and you can concentrate on doing work, rather than having constant parties all the time like in the first year.
