Park Villas are very convenient to live in at the beginning of uni. It lets you ease into getting to know Cheltenham as a town as you can get to know the location of buses and the shops. It is also close enough to the campus that it is only a small walk away and if you have a course that has a lot of physical course work it is close enough so you don't have to worry about taking the work on the bus and walking around with it and losing it all. The kitchens are quiet clean if you have good roommates but sometimes the cleaners do clean sometime in the actual kitchen but they hoover the hallways every week and provide bin bags for the communal bins.

Don’t ever come to this uni, not even this accomodation full stop. £155 for the most cramped room in the world, unfortunately I was unlucky enough to be on the top floor. Bikes and food stolen on the regular, no social space, and flatmates so loud at like 2/3 in the morning when you have a lecture the next day. I work nights and don’t even think about having a lie in, because maintenance teams are outside cutting trees, blasting fire extinguishers (there is no fire) or. just shouting to each other at 6am. The uni is on record for not dealing with mental health issues, and claims to be helpful when actually they only tick a box. If they really cared about your finances would they really charge you a ridiculous amount for weekly rent? Just don’t come here. Every student who I’ve spoken to recognises this as a living hell. Get out while you still can. DON’T COME TO PARK VILLAS

My actual room was great- comfortable, with plenty of storage spaces such as the big wardrobe which fit 3 instruments plus jackets/coats in, and the cubby holes. But the kitchen- for 9 people- was just ridiculously small. A nightmare to cook in if even 2 other people were in there, and worse still if you wanted to go in there for a snack but everyone congregated in there for want of a social space (there are not common rooms of any sort). I absolutely loved the room, and the location was perfect, but something really ought to be done about the kitchen situation. Wi-fi was good, and even managed to connect my Nintendo console to the Internet. I'm not a social person by any stretch of the imagination, but even I can see there needed to be a space for everyone to hang around in. Not in the kitchen where you're trying to cook!

The halls I live in are dated. They are bland, and dreary, and feel as if they have been sat in the same state for well over 10 years. Especially after visiting halls on the same campus and across the town, it really made me question the halls I'm living in. The kitchen is tiny, especially when it's supposed to be for 9 people to use, and yet there is only enough space for 6 seats, so not a lot of opportunity for socialising. My personal experience with halls has been bad, but that can only be put down to the people I am living with. Internet wise, its great, however, has some slight dead zones in certain areas.

Where do I start? On moving day I was under the impression that these "newer" building would be good quality (considering also the price). When I got there I couldn't help being disappointed. The closest thing to a common area is the incredibly small kitchen, with one sink, two ovens that could be mistaken for a child's toy, two grimy looking hobs, and the highest cupboards imaginable. As for the room itself, the wardrobe is fine, shelving is fine, desk is fine, the placement of every plug socket being ABOVE the desk is definitely not fine, and neither is the overall size of the room. WhenI got myself this room, I went for the en suite (I value my privacy), which can be compared to a dingy Travelodge bathroom. The shower is tiny (I'm quite large as well, so that wasn't a nice experience), the toilet roll holder (if you can call it that) is pretty much touching the floor, and the sink isn't big enough to bathe an ant. Not worth it. Finally, I can't connect my xbox to the f****** WiFi.

Too much money for too basic accommodation. No common area, rooms were dirty on arrival day.
