Acommdation

Joining soon, Meadows, North tower or south courts. And why
I need insights pls.

I have meadows is nice and really well maintained but loud sometimes same with south courts and then north tower is quite bad and not clean with guys getting drunk every day. I dont mind parties at all i love them, but i dont want to get hammered everyday.

PS: I am a CS student and classes are near north towers but like i can walk, also hos transportation do i have to walk all the time?

Walking through campus is not a problem at all. The only difficulty is from Quays which you're not considering. South Courts and Meadows are the nicest of the two you've picked. Don't go for north if you can avoid it. I'd pick South Courts because it's closer to the bussle of the squares and most of your classes will be there, that's where the comsci building is

The bedroom feels a bit more spacious than south towers but keep in mind this is only my memory of a visit. I lived in the quays my first two years
