Do I stay in UNI? Read b4 u vote.

[ainsleee]

Ok so I took a friend to his halls in Swansea Uni, and it looks totaly awsome. Now theres still time to move in halls as there are still places.

However, do I stay at home and keep 5k, or do I waste 3k and live in halls.

Also I have a girlfriend who is not to happy about it? Its a tricky one. Please help.

Plus I dont drink much so that part doesnt bother me, I wouldnt really miss tht part.

I voted then read it. Move up there and stay. You'll meet so many new people. Was the best year ever last year in halls!!

couldnt agree more with corky!!

goto halls.

Learning the social skills alone, as well as having to truly fend for your self make it worth more than the money alone.

Its a tough choice my friend. I'm goin to glamorgan uni and commuting because its only 30mins away and will save me 3k. The only reason to get accomodation would be the social aspect and to make new friens and to me thats not worth 3k. I'm getting a flat with my current mates and girlfriends in my 2nd year. You could consider the same.

yeh im doing that in the second year however ive hered that the best year is in 1st year UNI halls. Its been playing on my mind for ages. I finally settled not to lived in halls now i went today and I really wanna stay there now.

...now ur making me wanna go lol. I have reserved the option of staying in halls later in the year if i really want to. Loads drop out in the first few months so there'll definitely be room.

See doesnt it anoy you when people make your mind think of even more options. Lol sorry mate :P

Without a doubt, stay in halls. I'm about to go into my second year (eek!), and 1st year of uni in halls is the best year of most people's lives. There's nothing quite like just sitting on the grass with your mates and having a bbq, then going back to halls and watching a film, or whatever.
Not only that, but it's also great for social skills, and teaches you the first few steps of being a fully independent adult; cooking, cleaning (or not, as the case may be), managing your time more efficiently and so much more.

I'm going into 2nd year now but there is no way it could as good as first year. I think the reason 1st year is probably better is because you get to meet so many people in all the halls. I couldn't wait to get back up to see everyone again.

Like Dedodido said there's nothing like sitting out on the grass with a bbq and some drink in the sun and just hanging out with the mates you'll make there. And I agree with Jon, the social skills you'll gain from it is well worth the money. Even for £10,000 I wouldn't change a thing. You should definately stay at halls...

2 words that make not moving seem a good option: CREDIT CRUNCH! haha. im with all these guys on the social aspect, but I voted no because i dont think its the be all and end all of having a good time at uni. Especially as you say you dont drink, I'm the same, and I hated my short time living in halls as a result of all the goons who are just in it for the pi$$ up. But if youve got a few friends there it might be a good option, just don't worry so much about it because whatever you pick you'll have a good time at uni either way!

Yes should definelty stay in uni , the knowledge you will gain and the fun you will have i something you dont want to miss .
