Which halls in Glen is the standard en suite shown in this video in? It doesn't say.

Hi,

I think Lauren is right in saying this is Chancellors Court, I stayed there in my first year in the standard en-suite room. I really enjoyed my time there and I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about Chancellors Court or Glen Eyre as a whole.

Hi Jasmine,

Please can you tell me the best location for medics to live?
Also, I am a really social person but like my sleep and know that studying medicine will mean I need my sleep! Should I request a quiet room? Do you know anyone who has lived in a quiet flat or floor and if so, was it a positive experience?

Thanks!

Hi @Santorini1991,

I do not think there is necessarily a better accommodation for medics to live, it all comes down to personal preference and the type of halls experience you want. I lived with some student medics and nurses in Chancellor's Court, Glen Eyre, and it seemed to suit them really well. Of course, if you are after a quieter halls, it may be looking into some of the smaller options such as Highfield Hall (located just by Avenue Campus and a short walk away from Highfield Campus). A quieter flat will just mean the people you live with will have also requested to live with quieter people, so less parties, less playing loud music etc. This can be handy if you struggle studying around some noise. There is also the option of a studio flat, where you would live in a small flat on your own (no sharing a kitchen, toilet etc), which would also mean limited noise distractions.

Some people do really enjoy their experiences in quieter flats or studios, however some also get along really well in standard flats (as I mentioned I lived with medics and nurses and they got on really well in the standard flat environment). Just think about where you would be most comfortable living and studying for the next year. If you enjoy where you live, it will make the university experience a lot better!

Which accommodation are you looking to apply for?

Thank you for your help. I think the issue is just total unpredictability. My brother was in a quiet flat at his uni and the first year it was all students who didn’t mix at all, many international. He struggled with that for the first term. The next year, in the same flats, he was fine because other students there were more social. Other students I know have had a nightmare with noisy, inconsiderate neighbours in their flats and I don’t think I could handle that late at night when med school is so full on and I need sleep. If I actually get an offer, I was considering Connaught for the part-catered and not having to fit cooking and shopping into my schedule in yr1. Plus the rooms were quite big and the facilities seem really good on that site. However, I am tempted by Glen Eyre due to its proximity to campus and the U6H bus stop being nearby! Seems to be about half hour to the hospital for, there but not sure how long it takes from Wessex Lane. By the way, my insurance is also Southampton, though not sure I will take it or have a gap year if I get no med offers.
