Whiteleys a good bet. VERY handy to get to both Swanwick AND CTC(college).
Missus and I are debating whether to rent our spare room out to students or not....
IMHO, winchester is a bit of a dead pony TBH. Its fine for those who crave the 'i live in Winchester' line when asked where they stay!!!! We looked there when we were relocating from West Drayton but nothing about it floated the old boat...other than the xmas market LOL...
You dont mention in what capacity your looking for accomodation i.e. student, engineer, etc...as a student ( sorry...trainee). You really dont need the ballache of the traffic nightmare that is the M27. Plus, i understand that the trainees are beingstrongly 'encouraged' not to drive to CTC. Living in Whiteley solves the problem as its about a 15min walk or 5min cycle.
