Which accommodation to choose?

Hello. I noticed the portal for accomodation opens on 10 June so just looking at options. At the open day last year we saw Park View, Marris House, Kensington terrace and Park terrace and at the offer holder day we went back to see Park View and Marris House, favourite being Park View,

Looking at website again it looks like Park Terrace might be a better option as the living/ kitchen areas are bigger and more open plan so perhaps better for socialising or when lots of people cooking together! Similarly, Kensington Terrace looks good for this although when we saw it it did look a bit older.

Wondered if any current students are on here and can help with the pros/ cons of each?

Studying Chemistry and don't mind a walk to/ from accomodation as it's all very close anyway.

hiii. I got an offer from Newcastle for chemical engineering and was wondering what accommodation was good. I’m an international student so unfortunately could not visit during offer holder days and would love to hear what current students have to say as well!!
