• Choosing : The Accomodation
Once you have decided on your course and narrowed down your university loca- tion, there are other things to consider, like which university can offer the best facilities. Going to university isn’t all study, study, study, and if you have a keen interest in a particular sport then you may want to check the best sports facilities or societies avail- able. Something like parking or specific accommodation may be important to you and something useful to research.
Investigate the type of housing or accom- modation available on and off campus. This can make a big difference in decid- ing where you want to spend the next few years. There are lots of options available depending on your price range and prefer- ence. Make sure you like the accommoda- tion itself and the atmosphere, check how many people you may have to share with, and if you’d prefer a mixed sex or single sex flat share.
• Tips Do plenty of research
Make lists of positives and negatives to narrow down your options Speak to friends, family, teachers and existing students Take some quizzes and join some social networking sites Visit and attend university open days
Student societies and nightlife are a few of the main appeals to living on campus and sharing accommodation with friends. If this is something that is important to you then another thing to consider may be the location of the university. Is it in a busy city centre or in a quiet, rural area? Are there many shops and bars close by? And how far away from home would you be pre- pared to move?
Once you have shortlisted several choices for your application it is important to make sure that they are realistic. Check that your expected grades match the entry require- ments for that particular course. Consider the likelihood of you being offered a place at your chosen universities. Take into con- sideration the path for your future and how your degree will contribute to your career. Most importantly, make sure you are happy and confident with your choices!
