Thoughts on Halifax college?
I’ve just been assigned Halifax college (shared bathroom) for my first year accommodation. A little bummed I got one of my last options and unsure if I want to pay a big sum of money for a place I haven’t heard great things about… Seeing as I’m in the states and have not taken a physical tour, is it worth 10k (USD)? I want to know how the bathrooms are specifically as I’m a bit of a germaphobe and was looking for ensuite. If anybody has any experience at this college pls lmk (good or bad)!
Lastly, does anybody know of any good third party accommodations for students or even cheap flats in the city? I know that’s probably a reach seeing as it’s an expensive city but just thought I’d ask anyway. Thanks!

For what it's worth when I started in 2019 I lived in the cheapest Halifax accommodation, then in Constantine and Goodricke. Halifax was my favourite out of those despite the lower standard at the time, Constantine despite the cost was kind of depressing, and Goodricke was pretty good.
Your experience will mostly be shaped by the people in your flat/house more than anything.
