Woolmanhill Flats Reviews

This place is a trap, where should I start ? It costs between 90 and 130 quids and gives you very little for what could either be comfort or privacy. The testing for the fire alarm is borderline schizophrenic, they check it every week, doing also drills and if that is not enough all the fire alarms are connected within the building so, if regardless of who's the cause everyone has to evacuate the building at any time of the day or night. Apartments are inspected constantly. The rooms look like a prison, there isn't very much air flux and if you keep the window closed for the night due to the cold you wake up with an headache due to the lack of oxygen. This assuming that you still managed to sleep because there is people constantly partying all night and the staff, regardless of the premises, does very little to take care of the noise. Find yourself a private accommodation, it's cheaper and far more reliable than this hellhole.

This Accommodation is good for party, if you want a peaceful place to study and learn, this probably is the worst place. There is party going on almost every single night, there are people fighting, lots of drunk people, and aggressive people. Yeah there are people steal your food too, and don't try to report to the rise life team, because the member of the rise life team are also part of the party animals...... and most time they won't get anything done anyway. If you are just over 18 and just moved out from your parents house, want to feel the "freedom" yeah this is the best place for you.

WoolmanHELL: worst place I have ever lived. The doors in the flat SLAM shut; if one of your flatmates decides to wake up at 5am every day, going to the bathroom & kitchen, you will not be able to sleep through it. Additionally, the walls are so thin that you can hear the person in the room next to yours even when they are brushing their teeth. Staff will come by every single day to pull the fire alarms to check that they are working; wanna take a nap midday? They will not even warn you beforehand that they are conducting checks. There's a smokers area in the middle of the complex; when people come home from a night out, they will usually hang out in this area for a couple HOURS, chatting very loudly. This is absolutely the worst housing decision I have ever made.

This accommodation is targeted at 17 year old students who have their first experience getting away from home and their parents. It's full of screaming girls, drama, stupid injuries people get while being drunk and more drama. The interior is a replica of a prison. Your room's walls are decorated by painted construction blocks and several pipes. It is almost impossible to end your lease once you move in. In addition to noise from blasting speakers the doors bang so loudly that if any of your flatmates (or neighbors) enter the flat or their room during the night you are guaranteed to wake up. There is a train track going just past the halls which's night time construction will last for a few more years. (drilling wholes and cutting down trees at 03 am) Your flat will be regularly visited for every kind of inspection you can possibly think of. In spite of all the downsides Woomanhill is perfect for people who wish to party EVERY day and social climb (and fail at least one course).

Woolmanhill is fun during freshers week after this it is absolutely awful. I would not recommend staying in these halls at all. Complete prison and the single bed is terrible.

Halls initially seem quite expensive but are excellent quality. Walk into uni or the city is long but by the end of the year you'll miss it by the time you get home. Lovely pubs and gorgeous village.

You might as well go to a prison instead.

I lived in Woolmanhill Flats for a year and would like to say that although the flats are average ,yet you do get so used to it that you wont live anywhere else. The flats pride itself on the great location and city center is just round the corner. I had great flatmates which actually added a lot to my everlasting experience associated with that place.

DO NOT STAY HERE! THE SEAGULS WILL KILL YOU! RHEY ARE VICIOUS AND WILL GET ALL UP IN YOUR FACE FOR CHIPS N CHEESE!!!! I HAVE WARNED YOU ALL! I NOW HAVE. Phobia of SEAGULS

Poor management, poor cleaning, poor maintenance, socially good but for the price you pay you would expect much much better

Overall the best place I could have ever ended up in! So many events organised both by uni and students and assistance 24/7

Absolutely best place for partying

Brilliant halls! Loved every minute of living there.

Woolmanhill isnt the nicest set of flats to live in but, having lived here for a year i would not choose to live anywhere else! Shearly for the social experience and the amount of friends i have made here alone!

Bit of a dump but the most fun and sociable place you could ever live!!

Love it! Cheap and cheerful! Definitely ideal for freshers
