[For 2012 Applicants]
Anybody who's looking for 'party' halls, choose Alloway. It's remote enough to get away with things you'd never get away with in places like Opal, even though we had campus security out nearly every night and the accomodation office described us as "the world year ever" :/
Opal is like a prison. The rooms are tiny and dank and the showers are prone to mould as there's very poor fan vents. Alloway, if it wasn't a 30 min walk from uni would be around £500 a month, the rooms are large for halls and the kitchen are MASSIVE - amazing for partys, unlike Opal's tiny little kitchenettes.
