Leeds Accommodation - Mary Morris and Oxley

joseza1996

I have an offer from Leeds, and have put it as my firm choice, so am now trying to decide which accommodation to apply for. The two that I'm considering are Mary Morris and Oxley - does anyone have any information about either of the two that could help me make up my mind?
If so, please could you tell me what the bedroom/bathroom/kitchen and social life is like?
I'm tempted to go for Mary Morris as it's significantly cheaper than Oxley (it would save me over £900 per year).
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joe

Hi, I'm living in Oxley atm but I don't know anything about Mary Morris so I can't compare the two. At Oxley, if you're in the blocks, there are 5 people to a flat, you all have an ensuite and share the kitchen. I don't have a lot of stuff, so I'd say the storage space in the bedroom and kitchen is pretty decent. The bedrooms may not look nice but you get a double bed and a large desk. The staff are also friendly and helpful. As the for the social side, well, Oxley pretty much would be suitable for anyone. The 'noisier' blocks are grouped together and quiet and older students are also grouped together in blocks. However, it can take about 40 minutes to get home from uni on the bus in heavy traffic which is annoying at first but you get used to it. Good luck and I hope you make the right decision!
