There are 5 catered halls of residence or 'Neuadds' as the Welsh call them; 1 all male hall, 1 all female, 1 all Welsh speakers (or those learning it) and 2 others. There are 7 self-catering buildings. 0.85% of students have to share (1st years only). [ITAL]Incidentally, students in the catered halls often expect to lose weight or eat a lot of biscuits because the food just ain't cookin', if you know what I mean, especially if you're a veggie. For those who want a room with view, odds on it'll happen. [EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Car parking:[EBOLD] Permits are required, which are free but whether there are any varies from hall to hall. [ITAL]Cars are only really useful in Bangor for students who find themselves living out of town.[EITAL][PARA][PARA][ITAL][HDNG]EXTERNALLY:[EHDNG][EITAL][PARA][ITAL][GRPH]A2[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Renting: 50% [BULL] Ave rent: ú33[ESTAT][EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Availability: [EBOLD][ITAL]The pressure on local resources is getting tougher.
