It's been the best part of 3 months since I started living in a student house as opposed to halls of residences, so seeing as the Student Life category is looking rather bare here's something to fill it:
Things I like about being in a house
- No fire alarms
- Broadband internet (although almost all the halls in Bradford now have it, bah... )
- Having a living room
- Having a sofa
- Having a big TV with a clear signal and lots of channels
- Knowing who the culprit is if someone steals your food
- Having your own washing machine
- Being able to choose who you live with
- Not needing to lock your room every time you go to the toilet
Things I like about being in halls
- Not so far to walk to lectures/the pub
- Kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned for you
- Not having to worry about paying for heating or electricity
- Being able to meet new people
So more positives than negatives, which is good. Term starts properly tomorrow so it's back to the grind.
Fire alarms are a good thing!
I much prefer living in my own house rather than halls or Uni accomodation. It’s more convinient, more relaxed and yes, broadband internet! Also and it’s only a small thing, but it’s just so much easier to be domestic too. A washing machine in the house! Such luxries I only dreamed off when I was living in Uni accomodation and had a 5 minute walk ot the washing machine block.
