      @DearOldWorld  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Awww thank you Silvia, I think I'm a bit all over the place to be honest 😅. Manchester and London definitely have different vibes. London being much bigger and busier, but also it's got all the museums, musicals and just a lot of things happening all the time. Manchester is much smaller, but I definitely think you do feel like you're much more part of a student community as the universities make up a big part of central Manchester. It is also just more chill and less busy.

    The accomodation looks amazing! I am planning to stay at St Anselm Hall next year, but I wonder if it's quiet at night or not?

    • @DearOldWorld
      @DearOldWorld  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd say in general that it is a quiet hall at night, obviously depending on who's living in it. But yes, it is very quiet compared to fallowfield, for example.

      Yes, there definitely is! I actually stayed in a catered hall. However, with all the catered halls, they don't usually provide lunch and some weekend meals. So with my hall (St Anselm Hall), they provided breakfast and dinner on weekdays and Sunday, and then on Saturday they only provided one meal- brunch.

    hey mel, great video as usual!! i'm curious... how are you finding the experience of living in student halls? i'm planning on going on a semester exchange to UoM as well and i was wondering if living alone in uni halls made it more difficult to make friends/socialise than, say, sharing a flat with a group of people. as i can tell from your videos you're having no difficulty in finding friends lol but the prospect of being lonely for 5 months in a strange country makes me anxious af gkfjgfkjgfkk thankss

    • @DearOldWorld
      @DearOldWorld  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      For context, I'm from Sydney, and usually live with my parents back at home. I'm really enjoying living in student halls and I actually think that it's one of the best ways to make friends, although it does take a bit of time. Sharing a flat would be cheaper, but you're more limited as to who you will meet. I think especially my accommodation, Saint Anselm Hall, is really great for making friends because of the formal dinners where you're basically forced to talk to the people around you for an hour everyday hahaha. I will say though that you'll make friends wherever you live, through societies, classes, and if you just put yourself out there and say hello to people. Also, living in halls you will likely be surrounded by first years and other exchange students so that's something to consider, and sometimes I do feel a bit old, but most of the time it's great :)

    • @DearOldWorld

      Not sure about the industry connections to be honest as I was there for exchange and didn't really utilise those sort of resources. In terms of prestige, Manchester I reckon is definitely more prestigious. I haven't heard much about Southampton.

      Basically, we had the JCR committee elections (they’re a student committee for the hall) and there was one ‘mystery’ position. The premise of the mystery position is that people have to go up for it without knowing what the position is and to compete for the position they had to be the first to run to the chapel, ring the bell, and come back. We found out the mystery position was to look after all the toilets in the hall (they don’t actually have to do anything though).
