Campus unis are awesome.

All your amenities are close by and you get to live in a nurturing 'student bubble'.

Insurance? Why on earth are you even commenting? You have no idea which one is the best for you. You've not even been to uni yet.

Dude, chill. I've been (some for extended periods) to multiple universities and prefer campus unis on the whole. Sorry, I didn't know having an opinion was illegal.

Honestly, how did responding to a satirical comment incite so much hatred on your part?

I am quite relaxed, friend. It's just quite silly to declare campus unis are the greatest thing since sliced bread when you haven't even been to uni yet. It'd be like replying to a thread titled 'what is better, Tesco or Asda?' and you haven't been to either. It's a little bit of a waste of time.

Visiting is not living there.

Au contraire, I HAVE lived on campus before. Albeit, mostly US unis - Stanford and MIT.

Some people know they like fast past life styles and like being in cities, some people like quiet and don't like cities, you don't need to have been to university to know that about yourself
I go to a campus uni in a big city, so I win.

You don't need to get snarky, my friend. I have indeed lived and studied - for 2 month intervals - at those universities.

Reading gave me an unconditional (which I insured), I chose it because I wanted to go to university regardless of how exams went.

Please continue the condescension, my jimmies might get rustled.

I appreciate your telling me your life story, but it wasn't necessarily snarky. I was pointing out that the three institutions are somewhat different. The campus experience of Stanford will not match the campus experience of Reading.

Poh youre even more stupid than i thought
Campus uni!
Campus uni in a city is best - so you have the campus experience, but can escape it when you inevitably get sick of it. The campus will get dull by final year, there's more to explore in a city.
