No no, im not expecting 5 star accomodation! I know it's going to be very different from home, a lot more uncomfortable, but thats fine. I just wanted to get some reviews on the place, and I now know that I should try to avoid Geddes! Most places that my mates stay share a place with maybe 5 others, so 15 is quite unexpected - perhaps that is too much...or as you say, its better as you're meeting other people. thanks for the info
