Wenlock Court

In my first year, I stayed in Wenlock Court situated approximately 2 minutes away from the University.  Staying in university accommodation was ideal for me as it gave me the independence and confidence needed, not only for my course, but for dealing with adulthood in general. That's not to say that I wasn't scared moving away from home; I was terrified. However, the fear quickly passes when you meet and get to know your new flatmates, who may even become your close friends.

It is important to try and interact with new people around you as soon as possible. You don't want to be the one that's left out after they've all already made new friends. But, at the same time respect the fact that some of these people are going to be scared, maybe more scared than you. You don't want to be too pushy and make a bad impression.

There may be some things you want to consider before choosing your accommodation; Is it important to you whether you have an en-suite or not? Can you afford the monthly price of the selected accommodation? How close is it to your place of study? How many people do you want to share with? Who do you want to share with?

All accommodation has free Wi-fi, the utility bills are included, a social area (excluding University Halls), contents insurance, on-site laundry, and 24 hour security and CCTV.
