Ranmoor or Endcliffe at UoS?

im choosing for accommodation at UoS ranmoor/endcliffe and heard ranmoor is quieter than endcliffe and im wondering how true this is? as in, is it quieter but still active or just dead by comparison.

ive also read that some of the blocks in ranmoor (such as ravenstone) are primarily returning students / postgrads, but most of the posts saying this where pretty old so i dont really know if its still the case.

just curious if any current / former residents can weigh in on this?

Endcliffe is mixed depending on which block you choose. The central blocks, like derwent and howden are quite loud especially on weekends. The outer blocks are quieter. I think it really depends on which flat you are in and how active the flatmates are.

hi, is ranmoor much further out than endcliffe, how far away are they from each other? i was considering living there as i think id get along with the people in the flat (based on the profiles you can submit) but dont wanna be so far away from the rest of endcliffe as to feel isolated. thanks

Ranmoor is about a 5 minute walk down the hill to the centre of Endcliffe and is a slightly longer walk into uni. Both are close enough to meet up with friends in the other but they still have their own separate vibe.
