Most helpful review

Most expensive accom because of the eat and drink credit which is not optional and is definitely not enough to last the week with the prices on campus. However the eat and drink credit could be considered a blessing in disguise when low on money or cba to cook. Easy to make friends considering there’s 20+ people in one flat but the kitchen is definitely not big enough. I would have to keep food and crockery in my room. 3 room sizes, with the biggest being massive and not too expensive compared to the 2nd biggest which was like half the size. Location is not great, being on the opposite end of campus to everything relevant (limetree, postal office). Close to campus supermarket tho so convenient. I had the second biggest room and I liked the size of my bathroom. I liked having the kettle and fridge in my room but this was very much necessary because of the tiny kitchen shared between 21 people. I had a lot of stuff so my room seemed cramped but eventually i did find comfort in my room.

Most expensive halls on campus - no idea why. I was in a small little corner room with a terrible wet room bathroom. The food card was credited with £55 every week as this is a catered hall... with the campus prices this would only last until Thursday if you are lucky! Location is ideal. Hall management was non-existent, I had no port of call. Cleaning was awful - always dusty. Common room was an empty space with a few stools. Social experience was terrible - I'm a very cosmopolitan person and I speak Spanish and French, however the Spanish, French and Portuguese majority population of my halls made absolutely no effort to mix with me despite my best efforts.

Kitchens don't serve well as a social area. There is too much incentive to stay in your own room. Would recommend for people who want to be lonely.

Simply a step above other residences, including fridges inside rooms, baths, double beds and cleaning services

Rooms are really nice, as are the kitchens. It's a little on the outskirts of campus but that's good for some things.

No closed flats so great for socialising, and spacious, double bed rooms with mini fridges and spacious ensuite bathrooms. overall, gives very homely feeling

Really good. Catering credit is handy but make sure you budget it or it will all go!
