For anyone who is currently at Uni or has been to Uni, what is the best accommodation...halls of residence or a flat?

Tell me your experience in them?

first year, do the residence, cause you meet horny drunk girls alot easier there.. then second year, move on to off campus housing, cause by that time you know the deal and how to meet said drunk horny women...
 
Both are my idea of hell but all my mates who went to uni tell me that they had the most fun in their later years in their own houses.

yeah i agree your better off in the own houses, BUT if you dont know anyone at uni, then definatley live in the residence halls first year, your not gonna meet people in class usually, and you end up making some good friends who are in the same situation as you...

I agree.
 
Been there, done that...believe stringer, it's a flat you need.
You will have some friends and then it's all the same...if you want to study and have a litle bit of privacy, then a flat is a million times better.
I had to pay my years at Uni myself so i had to do jobs while studying...i once had a jon as some sort of janitor in a hall of residence only for girls...i had the time of my life there.

see exactly, in some capacity you need to be in the residence halls... a flat wont do that for you :) and unfortunatley these days i doubt women will take to a janitor like in the swinging 70's... :)
 
Okay say I guess a halls of residence is better.

I will need privacy do my work and also get up to evil deeds!

What should i expect of the rooms though???

mate, you need a prescription of ritalin and you need to find a nice quiet spot in the library, cause studying in the residence hall probably wont be possible with all the noise and distractions. Everyone is gonna have ps3's, 360's, drugs, beer, porn.. etc... honestly its hard to get work done in that environment, but i think its part of the weeding out process for colleges. NOW if your not into that whole partying scene, then fuck it, get a flat. But if that kind of think interests you, then go for it.

I'd want to study in a quite place, but at the same time have fun when i'm bored.

Thanks for the advice gomito#10. :)

You need to ask Jay for that last part.

I would advise a flat if you are more focussed on study and less on partying. Ive seen enough people get serious delays to their study because they spent too much time going out with people instead of working in the weekends. Imagine that and also being in a noisy place during the week aswell to keep you away from doing work.

It also depends on your financial situation, if you can afford to have a year or two delay then gomito's suggestion of having a first year in the halls to meet [meat after talking to jay] people could be a good thing for the rest of your study just to have more mates. But again that also brings with it more people that can take you away from work.

Anyway, Ive done the no distractions side and have recently finished my second degree without any delay. I think its worth it.
 
As a second year now, halls of residence was the best thing that happened! Flat parties, free booze, food, and LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS. THen you move out with your new friends to a house.
