    Money isn't an option, my parents said they'll pay for it all. Please no sarcasm or anything, I just want to know whether it's worth paying for the most expensive accommodation or will I likely end up with snobby upperclass rich people?

    I've no exp at Uni.. But I've heard halls are the best, friends that go there say that they are glad to have been in halls the first year as you get to know alot of people, your living with loads of other students, major sex fest, etc etc

    Self catered is better than catered, because you get to choose what you want to eat, when you want to eat it.

    En suite is generally a bit of a waste of money, but if you've got money to burn then it's nice to have.

    get an en suite in halls, i agree it can be a bit more pricey but id much rather pay it than walk in and find sick all over my toilet floor, and no toilet roll to be seen!
    but literally, 160%, HALLS!
