st. Vincent or Allen Court

Heyy, I was looking for city accommodations for my first year in an engineering course, but I have founded very difficult to find any information about st. Vincent, does anyone know any inside info?
Also, which accommodation do you think is better overall? I'm very outgoing, but I would still like some privacy and living is the city center is a must.

Hi,

I'm currently in my first year and I live at Allen Court. It's a really good accom overall and it's the closest one to the diamond, which is ideal if you do engineering. It's in a really convenient place as it's not too far from campus but also very close to the city centre. The main downside is that it's quite far from the student villages. Most of my friends live in Endcliffe, which is a half hour walk away. In my experience Allen court is not very social, but I know people who have made friends with their flat or with others in the block.

Although st Vincent is close by, I've never seen it, and never met anybody who lives there, so unfortunately I can't help you with that. I Know it's slightly closer to the main city centre, however. I think Allen court is better overall as it's more convenient

Hi, sorry to jump on your post. Just wanted to ask if by any chance you know which floor Apartment G11 is on in Latimore House? I've been offered a room there and wanted to know its location. Thanks.
