Charlotte court looks nice, and it would be in my budget if I were to live here.
Another I'd consider would be Anvil, it looks homely and I think I'd enjoy living there.

NTU Accomodation
I like the look of Norton, but it's not somewhere I'd like to live, it doesn't look like a home to me, though it's in the right price range for my student finance.
Gill Street is a nice accommodation, but it's a little too expensive for my student finance.
Blenheim is a good accommodation as it's not too expensive for me and I can still have a walk to the building in a morning. I'd like to be here if I can get a place in their accommodation.

Sheffield Hallam Open Day
I'm actually really glad I went to Sheffield Hallam's open day as it's helped me to ask questions and find out what current students think about the place; although the talk was only half an hour, I made the most out of questioning the lecturer on the Fine Art course and the different aspects within it.
The facilities seem a lot more spread out and more technical than at college which I would love to try out on the first few weeks there (when I get in, optimism). If I get the opportunity to, I'd like to go back again just to have a better look around the accommodation, but I'm almost sure as to this is where I want to go to study.
