Pros and Cons of the ELC Bristol Over-18 Summer University Residence

Pros
  • There are lots of students living there, so it is a sociable place to live.
  • You will be living with people from lots of different countries.
  • Some, but not all, bedrooms are fully en-suite so you may have your own private bathroom with a toilet and a shower.
  • It’s right near the city centre, with really good access to the shopping area, the harbourside, and College Green for picnics etc.
  • There are great communal facilities which you can enjoy and where you can meet other students – a big student common room with pool table, table football, large-screen TV, table tennis and sofas.
  • It has secure access and an on-site service team available.
  • As it is self-catering accommodation, you will have the facilities to be able to prepare your own food in your flat kitchen whenever you want.
Cons
  • You will be living with lots of other students, so there will be rules to follow.
  • You will have to deal with rules about noise, cleaning, recycling, smoking, etc.
  • You will have to share the kitchen space with other students, who might not be as clean and tidy as you would like them to be.
  • The residence is a little further to the school but closer to the city centre.
  • The residence is not a social area of the school – so, if you have a visitor, they must leave by 22:00.
  • You will have to wash and pay for all your laundry yourself.
  • There will be less contact with native English speakers compared to living with a homestay.
