Dev is the "rah" hall, Bodington is just what unlucky people get because its ridiculously hard to get to (although theyll say its fine), places like lupton and james bailie are okay, cause headingley is nice, but still too far out for me. Im in Charles Morris, its about 3 minutes from the med school, about 30 seconds from the union and apart from the opals etc its one of the closest into town.
Only thing id reccomend next year is dont get catered. The refectory is awful quality (apart from friday fish and chips) and the meal card you get gives you completely random times (you cant get lunch even though the refectory itself is open).
Ensuite is a luxury, if you cant afford it, shared bathrooms are no biggie (having experience in qmul and kcl). It does equate to about a grand a year.
Id always reccomend an on campus hall, but thats probably just because im so used to being able to roll out of bed at 8:57 and make it to lectures on time.
