What's more, the cheapest rooms are very [PARA]basic. There are 2 catered halls - 1 male, 1 female - which are [PARA]small but within a mile of Schoolhill. Blocks of mixed [PARA]self-catering flats provide more space at the King St, [PARA]Woolmanhill and Kepplestone sites and at an all-male block near [PARA]the harbour, 1/2 mile from Schoolhill. There are shared bedsits in[PARA]Bon Accord Street, and the Council also gives the University [PARA]hard-to-let flats.

There is [PARA]still just about enough to go round, though, but it's expensive. [PARA]There are cheap areas like Sandilands, but it's too rough to make[PARA]it worth it; students are better off in Ferry Hill, King St, Urquhart [PARA]Rd and Rosemount for example.
