    Also, if your a resident at one of the opal student accommodations, how much is the gym/pool membership? Also, is the laundry facilities free?

    Opals easily the best accommodation.

    you have to pay to use the washer/dryer. Depends on what wash. Rooms are average. Locations perfect. Safe enough walk home on nights out. 15 minute walk to the rose bowl/ city campus. Socialising is awesome. Always loads of parties and people in the courtyard.

    One thing i will say is the noise if your facing the courtyard is so loud! I was on the fifth floor and i would occasionally get woken up. Especially if i didn't go out on a monday.

    i think gym/pool was about £115 pound. but i can't remember. I used the uni's

    £115 per month or per year?
