Anything but Nixon Courts. Oadby is okay, but sometimes the busses are atrocious.

The older blocks are bad, ie A-E and F-G, but the newer blocks in Nixon L-M is okay. The only gripe i have is that some of the blocks in L-M are located at the back, which has this annoying mini walk to the building. If you have the money, go for freemans, closer to campus, newer and better.

Hey, I'm trying to apply for accommodation in the village for an En-Suite, out of the following four; Southmeade Court, Bowder Court, The Pavillions or Knighton Court which would you recommend the most?
hi, if you havent managed to find a place to stay yet, theres a place right by the hospital but its like 15 minutes from uni, i can give you the details if you like??
Hi, also a medic going to Leicester in September! Have you decided on a location? I'm thinking the village because it looks beautiful now but I think it would be freezing and depressing in winter. Also, do you know if there is a group chat for the medical offer holders?

Hi @ellielonhy12345,

We have a range of different accommodation types, varying in price range at the University of Leicester.

Our two main university managed accommodation are the Village, based in Oadby, which has a range of student halls, vintage houses and beautiful greenery and the City, which has a range of student halls right next to our main campus and the city centre. Both accommodations are great for students of all ages to socialise, study and experience Leicester as a University and as a place to call home. You can view all of our accommodations on our website, including a virtual tour!:biggrin:

Any further questions let me know!
