I'm surprised they didn't take you with only 2% off, were your other grades okay? Yeah i've been looking at fishponds area, its only a short walk from frenchay so its not too bad. The problem with private accommodation is there's hardly any near the campus, majority of it is all in the city center, however if that's all there is its better than nothing.
Yeah I was really impressed with Leicester, nice uni and really good facilities. Plus the accommodation is a far cheaper.
