These days there is no such thing as a typical student. Some live in university-provided accommodation, others live outside the campus or in family homes.
Universities are communities with full and varied social activities.
Find out about the facilities that universities can offer you. As a student, you will have lots of opportunity to enjoy your spare time, but of course you will have different experiences depending on the size and location of the university you choose. If this aspect of your student life is really important to you, be sure to check what the university offers, and use the information to help you make your final choice. As a full-time student, you will have coursework to do, but you will also have time to enjoy yourself. If you are going to be working part-time as well, you will need to be well organised to get everything done.
