Accommodation?

Hey! I've accepted a place to study Illustration at Falmouth but now i'm a bit stuck on what accommodation to apply for. I've narrowed it down to Armyn House, The View and Glasney Student Village. Is more students better? I'd love to go to Glasney but it's in Penryn and I don't want to room share. (It's not me being picky, it's me sleep talking and frequently having hypnopompic hallucinations and night terrors. I wouldn't want somebody to share a room with me as they would literally get no sleep lmao)

What is everybody else applying for? And what's your opinions on student numbers?

Hi! I've accepted a place to study telivision and im really confused about accommodation as well :/ I really want a single room but the options seem super limited for that! I was on the phone to the admitions people who said that half the rooms in the glasney village were being turned into shared rooms due to so many applicants.

My course is on the Penryn campus so im kind of concerned living in falmouth will sort of wreck the social aspect? For me a single room in Glasney would be ideal!

The view in falmouth looks awesome but the amount of students seems a bit low :frown: I think a problem with a lot of them is the low number of students! I think being with hardly any students might make socialising reallt limited and difficult but it might be good for some people?

Anyway hope my random views help a bit! Be interested to see what other people are going for!

This is the exact situation for me!! I have an offer for illustration too & I love the look of the town but the accomadation is turning out to be such a let down? Eg all the busy student ensuite halls are on the penryn campus and then we would have to get the bus in every day (money which adds up & it's still a ten minute walk from where the bus drops you off in fal to our campus). I really want en suite & to be close to our campus but it seems like it's impossible.. Falmouth is the only place I've seen who has such weird/small halls :')
