Thanks missdizzy! its just i think i read on the uni site that new students have to be with new students, then i suppose i would be with 1st years. Maybe ill be a bit old for them, i dont know, im 22, what do you think ? In spain i would be old, maybe in England its different thankss

hmm im not sure...i started uni at 19 but my boyfriend started at 21 and my brother started at 23 so people start uni at different times here...

i stayed in grand central in my first year and it was without a doubt the best year of my life...i will never forget grand central it was amazing!!

i definitely think grand central and apollo court are brilliant because of their location...they are right in the centre of the city so you never miss out on anything!

hope this helps

Hey I stayed in Apollo Court in my 1st year and they're great halls, you shouldn't worry about being too old coz like Missdizzy said people start uni at all different ages, you get a fair few mature students. And you can mingle with the 1st years anyway, everyone is in the same boat when it comes to not knowing anyone so you make friends fast no matter what your age.
And when I was in Apollo Court there was a spanish girl in the flat next door to me who was a bit older than us but she had a great time.
