I put Mason and shackleton as my first and second. They're both ensuite, a good size and lively/social halls. Other ensuite accomodation on the vale is Elgar court, and nearer to campus there's jarret hall and victoria halls (private accomodation). But go for the vale its the heart of all of the accomodation and more fun! :biggrin:

UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS OR UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM???

Which city do you think is better?
Which uni overall?
Any opinions on anything at all!?

I need to choose between Leeds or Birmingham, I have offers for MSc Civil Engineering at both.

I haven't been to both since im an international student, and I need your help :smile:

I have offers from both and have been to both. They have their pros and cons. Leeds is right in the heart of the city, and has everything that comes with that. The lecturers also seemed to be more enthusiastic at Leeds, but i went to the business school so i doubt that's of much help to you. Birmingham is a much nicer campus with plenty of greenery, but for shops etc you'd need to take the (very short) bus/train/ride into town. Both have great nightlife and student unions. Ive only looked at the accommodation at Leeds and it looked okay, just average student rooms. If league tables are your thing, they're pretty close, but to the best of my knowledge Birmingham is slightly higher.

Hope that was of use :smile:

The results you get here will be a bit biased, don't you think?

Anyway, If you want to get a feel for the uni try looking at videos on youtube about the campus.
