Well I already knew six of those, but the rest were quite cool. I cycle past the Buddha nearly every day (poor guy is currently surrounded by construction work for the new HERC building), but I'm not quite sure who keeps leaving flowers and bottled water there...
The accommodation i felt let it down though =(. And i think i saw the uni on a grey rainy day so unfortunately didnt look too nice.
You're on your accommodation for 38 weeks for your first year. Its about the college. I was in Halifax during my first year, the accommodation was ok, but I never felt any college spirit. Goodricke on the other hand had the 'worst' accommodation at the time and I love it in cell block C.
