Hey guys so I've currently got an ensuite booked at Hayloft Point but I was thinking of switching to SSA if it comes up on the accommodation portal but I'm still not sure if I should keep my current room or not. I'd be going to the strand campus which I know SSA is much closer to but the room is 9 m^2 while Hayloft Point is 11 m^2. But the thing is I'm not sure as a first year how much time I'd be spending in my room in the first place so I don't know if room size should be a huge factor in picking between the two. Also I'm not sure which area is better in terms of safety and social life - HP is in Aldgate and SSA is in Waterloo. If anyone who has stayed at either of these accommodations as a first year could please give me some advice that would be great!
Chose Hayloft over SSA as it has so much social space, larger rooms and bigger kitchens in the flat. Shoreditch is really good for bars, clubs etc and it's a safer area (IMHO).
Both great options though! SSA didn't actually come up but would probably still have chosen Hayloft.
It's only 19 mins (3 mins walk, 13 mins tube, 3 mins walk) to Strand.
