from my own experience, the conditions in the student residence hall are much better than the private one but whether you can have a good time depends on how well you get along with your flatmates. i am lucky to have 5 brilliant flatmates from whom I learned a lot and we are on a great term. student Hall is definitely is the best option for the new comers
katq, even everybody in the lab take your supervisor as evil, it's still your God in some sense, You should not care about other's judgment on your supervisor. just take the establishment of good relationship with your supervisor as part of your 3-year phd work that you have to complete, it would be easier for you to accept him regardless of his unpleasant personality or intolerable manners.
i give you all my compassion, but you met with the most serious problem ,i am afraid, If you cannot get along with your supervisor, your phd process would be hard. and it's not a good idea at all to change a supervisor because other professors would not be willing to take the hot potato. my suggestion is you do sth to improve the relationship between you and supervisor. it's not hard to find what he likes and not. do sth to please him. you know, you have to no matter how much you dislike him. for the sake of the title ' Dr'.
