riverside or broadgate first year accom

i don’t know whether to choose riverside point or broadgate park for my

accommodation at riverside is cheap with an en suite but i haven’t heard any reviews about it and i want to stay somewhere social.

broadgate i’ve heard mixed reviews but im guessing it’s probably social considering it’s home to thousands of students

please help !!

From what I’ve heard riverside is a lot further away from uni park than broadgate and a lot more quiet/less social as it doesn’t have as many people as broadgate. I’ve got broadgate for sept

Hello!

Broadgate is close to the west end of University Park whilst Riverside sits near Jubilee Campus. One driver behind your decision could be the location itself (where is your course based?). For instance, if the lectures are in Jubilee, then it would make sense to pick Riverside because it would be more convenient in my opinion. Broadgate does indeed house a lot of students, so the social aspect is guaranteed there!

I hope it helps,
Abian.
