The student village at Brayford Pool in Lincoln has 984 beds which are all self-catered and most en-suite in private halls of residence, most are en-suite and all are self-catered. These are all relatively new and are high speed internet connected. There are also over 2000 rooms in private halls of residence nearby. In terms of the local area there is a landlord approval/vetting scheme. Lincoln is also a pretty cheap city to live in and there is an over supply of student housing. The best area to look is West End, minutes from uni and a 2nd student village really.

At Hull there's Pacific Court, a private hall of residence with self-catered apartments for 4 to 24 students. These are about 10 minutes walk from the City Centre campus.

- Local Area:
- Lincoln is a stunning city and always seems to be talked about in an article in some Sunday supplement as 'England's forgotten city' or 'Why it's great to be English.' I don't know of many places like Lincoln that have kept their charm without being snobby. This means that there are stacks of good pubs and bars to drink in, many in the new Quayside development next to Brayford pool. There's also a really friendly atmosphere but you probably need to be aware of the social environment here. If you desperately need a big city lifestyle and clubbing mecca then don't come. If you want a safe city, good places to drink and aren't too bothered about serious clubbing and non-comercial music then this is the place for you. There are trips to Nottingham and other big cities organised by the excellent night clubbing society on a regular basis though. Right next to the uni's main facilities there are two popular bars in competition with the SU. The Shed and The Library Bar are both popular with the students but not particularly popular with the SU.
Hull had a private telecoms service years before they existed anywhere else and the council owned a big stake. They sold it a few years ago and have been busy spending the profits ever since. This has been the subject of long lameting articles about how you should never ever ever put civil servants in charge of spending money. A new stadium and a massive general spruce up took place which are good but otherwise the money was frittered away. There are still massive plans to make the city one of the top places in the UK but now the money has run out so it's anybody's guess what'll happen. Whatever the case in the future though there are some great bars and a slightly more cosmopolitan atmosphere here than in Lincoln. It does stink like death though.
