    Physiotherapy. Although I'll be living and be taught at Leicester, I'm actually a Coventry student . Its a bit weird, but its better than living in Coventry

    Beaumont is also an excellent choice, especially in the catered part (old court).

    That's so strange. So you're taught at Leicester and graded at Leicester, but get a Coventry degree? x

    Does anyone know if first year undergrads are allowed to apply for 'city living' accommodation? I'm a 'mature' student if that makes any difference. I can't see the point in Oadby when it is a 45 min walk from campus. :-\

    Or will it tell me when I get the accomodation application?

    Wow, mind blowing observation there, I had never thought of getting the bus............. honestly.......

    I'm not paying 5k a year to live a 20min bus ride away from campus; what is the point, I might as well commute (1hr drive) and save some cash. (screw the environment)

    Anyway, I have now spoken to them and it seems that I do qualify for city living.

    I have no idea where you get 20 mins from either, more like 10.

    Screw the environment? Nice.

    You can chose to only be given same-sex accommodation in the extra details section.
