what is it like living in on-campus housing ?

user
it's not as bad as I thought it would be . The freshmen that live nearby are really loud , especially on the weekends . But , the rent is much cheaper than private housing , so it's worth it .

did you have to pay a deposit ?

user
no , but we do have to pay 9 months rent in 6 months , so for the first months we pay 1/2 month's rent each month .

do you have to pay utilities on top of your monthly rent ?
neutral
user
no , it's all included . Besides , students don't have to pay council tax , so we're saving quite bit of money by living here .
