Talybont South is by FAR the best... I'm there now and honestly I love it, it's amazing. Such a great community. It's social because of the amount of people and also cause or the layout. For example, in my house there's 6 people in each flat. There's two flats per floor directly opposite each other, and the staircase is in between them. It's so easy to just pop over to another flat. Yes we may have a bad shower room, no cubicle it's just a wet room, but I don't care. Nobody does. It's still a hot shower and has amazing convenience in your room! COME TO TALY SOUTH!!! So close to where the taxis go and is a short walk to lectures.
Taly North... Do not go here. Rooms are small and dingey and smell bad. Absolutely gross. Unless you're lucky enough to get put in the newer north buildings which are actually quite nice, you won't like your surroundings. Only problem with the newer buildings is that they're further from lectures, however they're closer to big tesco. If you don't mind the risk of a small room and tiny kitchen and don't mind the extra walk if you're in the nice blocks, by all means go there. It's still very social, just not in as nice of an environment. Hence 'talybronx'.
Taly Court... Here you have an actual shower cubicle and bigger rooms/bigger kitchen. Has somewhere to sit down. In my opinion though, not worth the money. Closer to lectures though. The people in there are social able people, but the layout just makes it a bit harder to get to know other flats well. Seriously though, why go here when it's £600 more than south, and for only £45 more you could get the luxury of taly gate?
Last of all; the brand new taly gate. This place is AMAZING. So pretty with gorgeous kitchens and bedrooms with 3/4 beds. And a very decent bathroom. £4645 is honestly not expensive for what you get, especially considering the price of other unis. Somewhere else you'd be paying a good £5500. Taly gate is also kind of a luck of the draw, cause there's one MASSIVE kitchen per floor and the others are smaller. And by massive I genuinely mean really big. It's beautiful. I'm jealous. Taly gate is the furthest from lectures so be aware of that, however you have big tesco and McDonald's on your doorstep. It will be social, it's taly and everywhere is, however it's quiter than taly south definitely. If you have the money, why not.
Hope all that helps. Make sure you go for Talybont Complex, any of them, above other halls.
wouldn't change my decision ever.
