    • I don’t live in university accommodation since it’s expensive but I’ve heard that it’s okay depending on who you’re staying with. The university facility is really nice though so I like it but I hope that they can provide free hot water.

    • Well I like the life I created but I just don’t like how unreliable the transport is from where I live although it’s something that the uni probably can’t help with
