Fellow postgrads, I'm looking for some advice on what type of accommodation is viable when doing an MSc in Nutrition. I've reserved a room in private halls, though the place itself is nice, new and big enough, I will be sharing with 3 first years, 1 second and 1 third year. My first thoughts is great, it will be sociable, though looking at the downsides the first years may not be as understanding of the importance of sleep and I'm not sure how much time I will get for socialising etc when studying a masters in nutrition. Will it be similar to third year at undergrad yet for a longer period? The studios look divine, but not the most social places at all, with a greater number of international students (which are usually quieter). I'll be joining the postgrad society anyway and possibly others so those could offset the antisocial aspects of a studio where I can chill out.
Wall of text/TLDR:
-Studying a masters in nutrition at the University of Leeds.
-Choice of halls with undergrads or studio with postgrad international students.
-Pros and cons of both?
-Location-wise, the halls have a gym on site and are a lot closer to Morrisons and the town centre for shopping and going out. The studio is closer to the food science (campus) building and has some parking.
It'd be great to hear past experiences of fellow postgrads, especially those in a similar situation as me where they want to socialise and meet new people yet also want to attain a distinction!
Advice is very much appreciated.
