My DD is moving into halls tomorrow, it's costing her £4135 for a self-catered non-ensuite in a 7 bed flat. And her building is one of the older cheaper ones! :eek:

Surely there are enough league tables and review sites out there already?

Most of the useful information on this "which" site is available on Unistats.

I think picking the course that appears most interesting and then judging by the experience at the open day(s) is the only way to tell. Going on league tables, employment stats, reputation or 'prestige' is bound to lead to disappointment. - I learned that lesson the hard way.

There is going to be a whole load more of them when the Key Information Set and the new Unistats site goes live.

Which? University can also be used to find the best universities for sports, arts, political scene and nightlife, as rated by students.

Nice to see they've got their priorities [STRIKE]right[/STRIKE] wrong. What about science and engineering?

Is he in Poole? Some of them have got sea views! You'd pay a fortune for similar holiday accommodation.

Yes that would appear to be a good web site and it's just been relaunched/ launched. Here's the link.
