Hillhead accommodation for SRUC student

Hey I'm starting SRUC this year and looking into accommodation at hillhead. Can anyone help me decide between New Carnegie Court, Hector Boece Court and North Court. I want to know the things that aren't on the website like where usually do the 1st year sruc students stay ? Will I likely be roomed with SRUC students, Apart from the bathroom in Carnegie is it any nicer ? Any info would really help
Also any other SRUC students planing on starting this year and staying at hillhead?

New Carnegie is the nicest because of the double beds and en suites but its so much more expensive I personally wouldn't say its worth it but really depends on the person! After that I'd say Hector Boece is nicer than North Court, it has two bathrooms shared between 4/5 people and a also a third separate room with a double shower. You can also do external accom outwith Hillhead which can be more affordable - quite a few ppl do but if you don't have a car then I'd 100% say stick to hillhead as that's where the bus to campus goes from. Hillhead also gives you access to UoA benefits like free gym membership

Also you'll defo be with SRUC students in Hillhead - they rent out a block in Hector Boece and North Court a couple of flats within a block in NC (if you're set on New Carnegie you need to apply as early as u can!)
