Hull - Taylor Court vs Student Houses

[Tetoir]

Can I just get a rough idea of where the majority of the medics live in the first year? Do they go for the houses, or the flats? What's the pros/cons of each?

Personally, I can't see any advantages for the Taylor Court Flats: they're loud, the rooms are small, you have to share a kitchen with 7 other people and they're more expensive.
The houses tend to have fewer people in, have a common area, I think they now have broadband(?) and the rooms are bigger if you go for a medium or large room.
The only thing that I'd consider to be a good thing about Taylor Court is that the contract is for the entire year, whereas the house contracts don't run over the summer.

HOUSES!!!

Student Houses. About 7 medics live in Taylor Court, 68 in houses. I live in a house. It's amazing. I'll direct you all to the HYMS 2009 Fresher's group on Facebook, it's being discussed at the moment.

The short answer.... HOUSES every time

hey

Just found out i've got in so i'll be in hull in a house in september! can't wait. Was wondering if the houses have broadband now-i have one on auckland avenue? and if they dont what do they have? Also, is there anything you guys would recommend bringing-i.e. something which is an unlikely thing? so excited-i feel a big trip to IKEA is needed

Thanks!

Yep, the houses have broadband It's on the university connection which is nice. I brought a bunch of lamps...But I'm quite strange like that I always like to have the house well lit
