[q1]> As first year places to stay I don't think they're necessarily all bad. They take a lot of the[/q1]
[q1]> hassle about trotting off to uni. As places to live beyond that, I have severe problems with many[/q1]
[q1]> halls. Basically, they always struck me as places where annoying, immature twats ran up and down[/q1]
[q1]> the corridor at 3am after drinking too much top-deck shandy. Claustraphobic, I guess: they take[/q1]
[q1]> away part of what I consider to be the really important stuff about going off to uni - the living[/q1]
[q1]> out bit.[/q1]
i'm not sure how halls can be described as claustrophobic. as for the drunken twat factor, that
would be a plus point of living in halls for me, provides endless entertainment value, wouldn't u
also get that in a house from time to time though? or is everyone in your house tee-total?
[q1]> Not that that applies to all halls. For a while I stayed in the post-grad hall at Reading - there[/q1]
[q1]> were two undergrads on my corridor, it was fully self-catered and had people from all over the[/q1]
[q1]> world. It was a wonderful place to live because it was culturally so different. Totally dislike[/q1]
[q1]> undergrad halls which were always pretty much the same as far as I could work out.[/q1]
well the UG halls where I stayed last year were pretty culturally diverse, loads of overseas
students, etc.
