I'm currently living at Victoria Halls and it's brilliant here, amazing location right in the middle of everywhere, staff are amazing and any maintenance which is needed is done extremely quickly! I'd definitely recommend it :smile:

Hey, I applied in February although I don't believe I heard back till beginning of the summer for it as I think they wait for everyone to apply for accommodation before allocating places
I would've estimated at around 15 minutes walk from Victoria Halls so it's pretty close :smile:

All accoms are generally okay. Though you seem to get more problems with them than in shared housing with friends, but I suppose you tend to need the mates to do that with (2nd year). Location and helpfulness of the staff are probably things to look for. Though I lived at home, as a Sheffield local, so I'm not the best person to ask :P

I like the anvil but I don't really like the price as I won't get a student loan :frown:

Eeep! Really?! This is my second degree too....I thought we could get up to half of the maintenance loan?.....oh man...

If that's really the case I'm going to have to bust out the calculator and see if I can even afford moving away...
