[HDNG]IN COLLEGE:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]A2[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Self-catering: 10% [BULL] Cost: ú27-38(40wks)[ESTAT][PARA][BOLD]Availability: [EBOLD]Students only stand any chance of living in during [PARA]their 1st year and, even then, only 1/4 get places. The choice is [PARA]between Cathedral Campus, self-catering flats for 3 people, or [PARA]houses for 5 at Parkside Hall in Aigburth. The houses [ITAL]are [PARA]pleasant and very well situated[EITAL] in the centre near the Anglican [PARA]Cathedral. [ITAL]The flats in Laurel and Catherine Mott Courts are also [PARA]good. The other flats are in Crete and Candia Towers in Everton [PARA]which is a pretty dismal area and the 2 Kafka-esque tower [PARA]blocks are right at home. For ú20 Endsleigh Insurance will keep [PARA]belongings safe over Xmas and Easter breaks.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Car parking:[EBOLD] [ITAL]Easy enough at the houses, harder at the halls, very [PARA]hard at the flats.[EITAL][PARA][PARA][ITAL][HDNG]EXTERNALLY:[EHDNG][EITAL][PARA][ITAL][GRPH]A1[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Ave rent: ú25-30[ESTAT][EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Availability:[EBOLD] [ITAL]There's enough housing to make it possible to get [PARA]something considerably cheaper than ú30, if students are [PARA]prepared to take what's going. It's not that the accommodation's [PARA]bad, it's just that a lot of it is in family homes, which may well be [PARA]just your cup of tea, so long as you like drinking it out of other [PARA]people's cups with pinkie cocked. Other alternatives, of varying [PARA]standards, are available. Some areas have developed as [PARA]decidedly studenty, such as Wavertree (a veritable student [PARA]ghetto), Sefton Park (more expensive, but arty, converted flats), [PARA]Allerton, Mossley Hill, Lark Lane, Tuebrook, Old Swan and the [PARA]famous Penny Lane. Some areas are less salubrious, such as [PARA]Everton, Toxteth, and Kensington, but students do live there quite [PARA]happily. Car parking depends very much on the area: further out [PARA]of the city, it becomes easier, but public transport is fine.[EITAL][PARA][PARA]
