First-year student will answer all your questions!

Hey, guys!

I'm a first-year Creative and Media Writing student. I'm from Italy originally, but for this year I'm staying in Bateson Hall. For one of my units I'm running a blog about the city and the university. You can find it here.

I'd love to have some input from you people in terms of subjects you'd like to be covered in the blog! I've explored Portsmouth quite a lot, I keep an eye on the news, and I go to uni (duh), meaning I've got some pretty good hands-on experience of what it's like. If you have any questions regarding my course, the university in general, Bateson Hall, the city (shops, food, entertainment, etc.), please post it below!

I'll do my best to answer exhaustively in one of these two ways: if your questions is quite straightforward, I'll just post my reply here; if it allows room for long descriptions (e.g. "where's the best place to go food shopping?", then I'll write the reply on my blog.

It'd be awesome if you wanted to follow the blog and comment, but that's up to you! I'm here to help you as best as I can, while at the same time looking for some inspiration for my next posts!

Thank you for reading, now do your worst and bombard me.

I was wondering if you could give your opinion on the school in general and also the accommodations? Since I will be living there on campus I want to make sure I pick the best place to live.

And do you think I should do catered or self-catered?

Hi!

This is my review of Bateson Hall, the hall where I am right now. I can't say much about other halls, since I don't live there, but, as you read the post, keep in mind this hall is regarded as "the worst" by most students. Draw your own conclusions.



It depends on the person. Food can be a sensitive subject. Please, take a look at previous posts in this thread: a couple of replies ago, I mentioned of my friends' opinions regarding part-catered accommodation. As for me, I live in self-catered and I love it, I would never apply for catered, but that's me.

I hope this helps!

Thank you!

This post will enlighten you (hopefully) about the typical first week of uni for international students!
