The Student Village consists of a number of buildings containing lots of flats. They are pretty much the same thing as our suites at Hamilton except for much older and dirtier. There are buildings that have updated kitchens and bathrooms and are newer, but we didn't get lucky enough to live in those.
My flat building is the farthest one into the village, up a pretty steep hill. I am about a 5 min walk from the bus stop, but I end up running practically every morning because I forget how far away I am and buses around here don't wait. Our flat is made up of 1 hallway with 4 doors down one side, 3 doors and the entrance to the bathroom down the other, the entrance to the flat at one end, and the door to the kitchen at the other. There are 7 bedrooms, 2 guys and 5 girls. The bathroom consists of 3 separate rooms, one with a toilet and a sink (for the boys), one with a toilet, sink, and bathtub (for the girls), and one with a tiny stall shower. I don't think I'd ever get in the bathtub though, it is pretty dirty. The girls just use it to shave their legs sometimes. The kitchen is pretty normal, sink, oven, stove, cabinets, kitchen table.
Two of the girls are from England, one of the girls is on my study abroad program from Minnesota, and the other girl and 2 guys are from Wales. One of the girls is engaged and the other girl from America has a boyfriend, but the rest of us are single. I love everyone I live with! Our flat has so much fun. We have gone out and played frisbee at midnight, we have gone out to clubs together, we made a very strange snowman on night when it snowed really hard, and just have fun hanging out in everyones rooms or all cooking at the same time in the kitchen.
I think part of why I love it here so much is the people, I have made such good friends both in and out of my flat, it is going to be really sad to leave in June!
