Hey guys,
I've finally decided to firm Birmingham, so now the next step is accommodation. I've just got a few questions!
I'm definitely going to put Maple Bank and Tennis Court down, mainly due to the low cost and social hub of the Vale. I'm also considering Ashcroft and Oakley Court, but haven't heard much about Pritchatts Park. Is it sociable there? Which of the two halls are better in regards to sociability, value for money e.t.c. Is the extra grand cost of Oakley Court worth it? Are either of them any good in the first place?
I'm also considering The Green Community (Tennis Court), which I'm fairly sure is new for 2016 entry. I'm a little hesitant with that though as I'm worried the whole 'green' thing may mean a bit boring... and with it being a new thing for 2016, it's a bit of a risk.
Of all the halls listed above, which would you guys suggest? In which order? Here are the main criteria I have:
- I want self-catered
- I want to avoid spending more than £5,000 a year
- I'd rather a large number of flatmates
- I want 'sociable' accommodation
Any advice/story sharing is appreciated!
