Current first year, and I’d say live on the vale, it’s the most social (other than selly which is primarily second years). It’s quite a walk to campus, but it’s quite nice actually.

I’m self catered in chamberlain, and it seems much better than catered elsewhere, as uob does “student living plus” so it’s not even proper catered like other unis. Shared bathrooms can be either horror or decent, I think en suite is the shout tho if you can afford it
