guys please help to choose between Atiken , Opal One and Victoria Hall.. My preferences are:
1.) Distance
2.) Social Life
3.) Ensuite
4.) Cost
5.) Students of same university ( i am not sure is it a matter to worry)
6.) Post graduate Student community( i am not sure is it a matter to worry)
I am joining psychology dept for Mres course
and also let me tell pros/cons currently i feel for victoria, opal, atiken ..
Victoria Hall:Pros:
Very Near
Accommodation in ensuite and quite good
Cons:
From this year its only for Under grads allotted by university but i could book privately but don know how many post grads would be there.. i don wanna be odd man out
Opal One:Pros:
Ensuite and nice accommodation
Fees also pretty good
On site gym/pool
Students from aston and city uni too (not sure this pros or cons
)
Cons:
Its in between city centre and university ..so neither uni life nor city life .. and need travel for both..
Since mixed with other uni students not sure how well it goes..
Atiken:Pros:
Its in vale and hence more events
Green environment
Atiken B and Atiken C reserverd for only Post grads (but i also feel would i miss undergrads
)
Cons:
Accommodation is not so good and no ensuite(any better insight on atiken welcome
)
Distance is quite far compared to victoria hall
If want to use gym/sports facilities then no near by ones
Please help me guys...
And please tell me in general - what difference it makes(pros/cons) living with undergrads and post grads.. i feel its more to fun to be with undergrads
And please tell me in general - what difference it makes (pros/cons)living with students of other unis?
