I would get accommodation.

I went to sheff Hallam 2 years ago and lived at home been 30 mins away on bus. It wasn't the travelling it was the fact that people on my course already had made social groups with them all living in halls so It was hard to break into it.

Now I'm living in halls and loving jt

Depends on what you're studying. From what I know of students who live in the area, it's not the greatest uni, but my course is NHS accredited so it doesn't bother me.

I haven't heard of single sex accommodation at Coventry. I'm also a Muslim girl looking for accommodation. I'm trying to find other Muslim girls for a flatshare in Coventry.

I'm going to be studying dietetics too! Oh have you? I think I'm going to have to just in case I can't find room mates for private accommodation but I'm really worried about the culture/lifestyle clash. That, and having to wear a hijab in the kitchen!

InshaAllah I'll meet you in September!

Coventry is my firm, Nottingham is my insurance. So I'm trying to sort accommodation for both so I'm not having to find properties/flatmates last minute

I'm so confused.

Travelling via train:
Pros- quickest way of travelling and cheaper than accommodation
Cons- 2h journey, need to catch two trains

Accomadation:
Pros- don't need to travel far, etc
Cons- very expensive and I'm sure I can't afford it, don't know the type of people u will live with.

Advice?

@SeanFM @Alexion @AwesomeGenius

I would love to actually know where you live for it to be a 2 hr commute by train. I know Birmingham locals and people who live in villages outside of Coventry commute in, but you've got to be outside the West Midlands border surely?
