    I have a conditional of AAB at Aston for Business and Management Im trying to decided between Loughborough and Aston currently.

    I'm confused about what accommodation i would choose also - its between the Lakeside and the Newbuild ones.

    When i went to see the Lakeside accommodation the block i saw had the flats on different floors. So one floor had 3 flats, the next had 3 and the top had 2 flats and the kitchen. I thought this was a bit of a weird layout!

    Have you been to see them?

    Hey! in my gap year i have been working and will be travelling to Thailand for a month this summer, very excited!

    i've seen aston a couple of times now yeah, on an open day and applicant day. Love the campus and how friendly and close it all seems!

    Congrats on your offera guys! yeah i've seen both Lakeside and new build. Do think the layout is a bit funny at Lakeside but probably wouldnt be a problem if you end up choosing it xx

    DO NO TURN DOWN LOUGHBOROUGH if you have an offer from there.
    I was at loughborough last year but wasn't allowed back onto my course because one way or another some people got hold of my coursework, handed it in and got caught, dragging me into the **** along with them. but aston is sooooooo crap compared to loughborough in terms of the student life. the course itselt isn't that different. Aston is simply just too small. At loughborough more money is invested into the students.
    good luck though
