Leanne86 Â Â 10 #1 Posted February 21, 2004 I'm hoping to start a primary education course (French specialism) at Sheffield Hallam (Collegiate Campus) this September but I'm getting really worried about choosing where I want to live. I live on the Wirral so I'm moving a long way and want it to be right. Do you think getting catered halls is a good idea in first year? What's the food like? If not, should I go for flats or something? Or should i go for self catered halls further away? please help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Andy78 Â Â 10 #2 Posted February 23, 2004 Personally I went for self catered as you're not restricted to eating times. And as you will probably find out, being a student invloves needing to eat at some very odd times. Eating pattern, generally goes downhill with sleeping pattern (see time of this reply for an example). Also, I started to really enjoy cooking for myself. 4 years on and I'm actually gettng quite good at it. Hmmm, what else can I think of? Generally self catered flats have a bigger kitchen, which quite often becomes the main socialising area in the flat (depending on lay out and stuff). This may not seem too important, but having a kitchen/lounge can make a big difference when it comes to getting to know your flat mates. Anyways good luck.

Babooshka   10 #3 Posted February 23, 2004 There are LOADS of students who live around Ecclesall Rd (next to Coll Campus) so doubt you will have a problem finding somewhere to live. It is a great area too. Really lively, really near town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
