Heathfield or Belmont flats?

Hi, can't decide between these 2 for first choice... can anyone help? Anyone got other pics other than those on the website... ie of heathfield interior?

thanks :smile:

The interiors of the two are virtually identical. Heathfield is slightly newer, but you can't really tell to be honest. The main difference is location - Belmont is slightly more central on campus whereas Heathfield is further back from the union etc. I'm in Belmont on the side facing the tennis courts and it can be very noisy, you have to get used to the noise of people walking past your window every night at 3am, and being on the ground floor there's always people banging on the windows and sitting on the grass having their lunch two metres from your room etc. I would go for Heathfield as first choice if I were you, but at the end of the day they're equally good and you'll enjoy yourself wherever you are :smile:

There's no difference!! Heathfield is slightly newer but that's only because the building took ages. They were meant to be finished at the same time! The insides are identical.

Belmont is about 30seconds closer to the union and I guess you will get more people walking past it on busy nights but I never had any problems with noise living there.

heathfield is where the party's at.

Does this mean it's really lively? Are other halls quieter?

Heathfield and belmont are roughly the same in terms of liveliness! Old Seabraes is probably the noisiest.
