White Rose View vs City Side

Hi,
I am due to start University of Leeds in September but I am having a hard time choosing between two accommodations; White Rose View or City Side.

I have heard great things about both and they look amazing. Does anyone have personal experience or words of advice for me?

I stayed in City Side as a fresher, it was fun!

Honestly though all halls are pretty similar.

I agree these 2 and central village is what seem good options to me.
However please remember that those are really popular and you may not get them so dint get too hyped up

I ended up applying for CitySide. Reasons being: it is not as close to the First Direct arena (less noise), costs less than white rose (I'm only talking by a few pounds though😂), gym membership at The edge gym is included with the accommodation, white rose is also known to be oversubscribed compared to cityside so I may have a higher chance at getting cityside.

It was a very difficult decision to make icl. Had to research. But both: close to uni and city center (10mins walk), modern, nice rooms, nice kitchens, cafés nearby.

That is all. All I need to do now is do myself proud in exams to get to Leeds.

same, I was between CitySide and Carlton Hill- but I chose Cityside. I haven't heard much about Carlton hill- since it is brand new I feel like it could possibly have teething problems, and the location of Cityside is much better :smile:
