Singl sex halls can become either very macho for all-male halls - drinking and ruger-buggers. Or very hormonal in all-female halls - very catty and *****y. That being said, I dated a girl in a single sex hall and stayed overnight many times - you will find lots of boys roaming the corridors in the morning so be prepared for that.

Hiya!

My best friend in first year lived in an all girls halls and she loved it. Then in second year I lived with all girls as well. I think it can be a great choice and allows you to make lots of friends at once!

A lot of students will decide to make accommodation preferences like living with all boys/girls, living on the lower floor of accommodation because they're scared of heights, living with those who are quieter/noisier, so you'll be living with others who made the same choice as you in deciding to live with all girls!
