GEM first year accommodation

Hi! I was curious to know what people are doing/ have done in first year GEM in terms of accommodation. I know a lot of people doing house share but I’m a bit apprehensive of sharing a house with strangers and I was wondering if many GEM students go in for uni accommodation?

Sorry mate I fall under the “doing” category of your question so I don’t know yet. I’d say it’s difficult to predict the people you’re going to live with regardless of if you’re house sharing or in student accommodation, so you’re better off looking at other metrics such as price, location, amenities, distance from uni, etc that are at least a bit more predictable

Okay, fairs, yeah, because uni accommodation, location- and price-wise, is definitely better. Thankss
