- Accommodation Details:
- The quality of UEA accommodation is quite varied, and it definately depends on which hall you live in. Waverley Terrece looks a bit like a Swedish prision and is damp, but it does have one saving grace, in that every room has a sink!!
The worst halls, however, have to be Wolffson or Orwell Close, both of which are very old, have no sinks and no en-suite. But no matter how bad the halls are, they are liveable.
If you do get an option for which halls you would like, try to get either Constable or Nelson. These are modern, comfortable and some rooms have en-suite. However, be prepared to pay around £60 per week for them...not too bad if you are used to London.
LOCAL AREA - Housing in the local area is fairly easy to find, but all the good properties go quite quickly. Go to the University Accommodation Office early to avoid disappointment. There are also some estate agents in the town who have student housing lists.

- Local Area:
- Norwich publicises itself as "a fine city", which is fairly accurate as the statement is neither underestimated or an exaggeration. It is big enough not to be boring, and the city seems to thrive on students, who make up a large proportion of the population.
Castle Mall has all the major national shops, so all those stress relieving retail therapy trips will be covered. After shopping you can head to one of Norwhich's many bars for some light (or heavy) refreshment.
In terms of nightclubs and nightlife, Norwich does well to satify all but the most hard core of clubbers. Time is the newest of club with student nights on Tuesdays, while Liquid has student nights on Mondays and Thursdays. MOJO's plays alternative music and is quite popular on Fridays.
