off campus....

mikeA1

Pls, just want to know, if anyone decides to live offcampus for the first year, does that mean s/he student life is doomed from d begining?

No, not necesarily, because you will meet people on your course, but you won't get the full effect of a student life, like missing hall events being organised etc. But people do it every year and are fine.

Mike, i'm having to live off campus for the first yr 2, but have seen a thing on the SU website about 'hall affiliation' you contact them, and you can become a hall member as such for social activities... sounds promising! have u found somewhere to live yet?

yeah ive found a house thats managed by student accomodation services.... no real things to look out for i wouldnt say but i think u'll have to be quick- apparantly theres not much left thats particularily nice. didnt i read in another topic that u've got a place in halls? i think that once youll get there you'll get used to being catered. i personally would give my right arm to be in halls- you're very lucky, and you'll have the next 2 yrs atleast to cook for yourself, why not give it a chance and then if you really cant stand it then think about moving out/trying to change to self catered?

yeah, I would love to be in halls. I was offered a catered hall instead of a self catered, my budget ain't set on catered.
