Hey!

From my personal experience - Central Quay was my favourite (formerly Unite Students and changed to Host Students).
The Forge is not so much for being 'rougher' but, as others have put in the thread, louder, more parties, busy.

It entirely depends on what you're looking for!
I stayed at Exchange Works which was extremely quiet, which was helpful for my second year when I wanted to knuckle down. Also was right next door.
Central Quay is where I met most of my friends, two huge courtyards and with underground parking (not sure if you have to pay though!) so plenty of noise.

Generally speaking, if you're going under the banner of Unite -- most places are very samey. It's only the area and distance to University that matters.

RE: Commuting
Great if you're looking to save money and not have the 'uni experience'
But bad in the sense you'll have to work a lot harder to make friends.

If you have any specific questions, just use my @ and I'll get back to you ASAP!
