Hi,

As the rooms are both standard enhanced plus, they are basically the equivalent of each other just at different Halls sites.
I can give a bit of background on both sites which might be helpful for you when deciding between the two options.

Glen Eyre is about a 10 minute walk to Highfield Campus, which is the main University campus, but there are buses that go between the two locations as well. It is one of the largest Halls sites and is made up of multiple buildings of all different shapes and sizes, with a communal green space in the middle.

Wessex Lane is pretty similar in terms of having a variety of buildings, but it is about a 20 minute walk from campus, or a 10 minute bus journey, so it is a bit further away than Glen Eyre. This isn't a problem as such because you get a bus pass included with your Halls rent making it easy to travel around.

Both locations have laundry sites and communal areas, so the main difference is the distance from campus. Also, both sites are popular with students, especially first-years.

Hope this helps!
