High rise or Low rise?

Hi, I'm considering Aston as my firm choice for uni, and I've just been looking at the accomodation on the website. I've pretty much decided I don't want lakeside (too expensive!) so its between high rise or low rise.
Can anyone tell me some pros and cons of each of them? :smile:

High rise, bigger flats, more people, more fun.

as far as I know, was a Lakesider myself.

You don't get a choice between high and low rise, at least you didn't in my day!

You still don't get a choice! I have seen the 2007-2008 accommodation application form for undergrads. and you pick either Lakeside or Standard.

Am I right in thinking that there are large numbers of postgrads. in low rise flats? Never saw them on the open days and not aware of many people being in it (my step brother said he didn't know anyone living there)
