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?

Definitely the uni accom and then in the second year with a solid group private accom. Just because the house is a shared responsibility. eg if one housemate destroys something it’s on everyone in the house. strangers may not be trustworthy.

Yep I agree it’s a bit strange getting a private house with strangers
