Which is the right room for me?
This is purely a personal decision. As a general rule, shared accommodation options are
more social. You use the same kitchen, lounge and dining area as the other students in
your unit.
Self-contained apartments allow you to cook in your own kitchenette and watch TV in
seclusion. Communal kitchens and breakout areas exist in the main buildings so you also
have the option to study and relax with your fellow residents.
