I'd love UNI life if it wasn't for the education side of it. The parties/weekends&weekdays clubbin = dream life for me.
Goodluck with getting settled in. I could never live with 11 other people, I have some minor OCD issues and I hate clutter unless it's my own because I know where to clean.
Although I've stayed at a mates UNI place before and jumped in bed with her and one of her flat mates cooked a chinese and it stunk the whole flat out, ahh!
Let us know how it goes and make sure you get Internet set up if that's gonna keep you sane!
I'd advise you to get part time work though, it's a great time to socialise.
