Currently in a studio on the top floor. The view is worth the money on its own! Jo and Tony are amazing. Nice common room. A lift in the B block! They also allow dual occupancy for those looking! Staying on for another year as it’s perfect.

The Quarry is a lovely accommodation. It‘s in a great location, close to the shops and town centre, but situated in a quiet area. The team is extremely kind and helpful. Any issues are resolved quickly. The other residents are also kind and respectful. I‘m staying in a studio, which is nice and airy with enough space to live and work in. It‘s very easy to feel at home here.

There are so many things that make me feel positive and good about staying here at the quarry! It's close to the town centre, the bus stop is just 10 mins closer from here, travel is easy, vibes are awesome and I feel welcomed always with a smile by everyone! People staying here are all super sweet and helpful and are always there to cheer u up especially when you are away from your home country! The beauty about quarry is we have excellent security, amazing staff and we have Joanne ✨🌻 I've been here for 2 months now and i love how it's all clean and well maintained! I'm finding my stay here cozy, safe and also happy that it makes me feel like home :) I would totally recommend any new student to come join the quarry family and enjoy the events happening here at the quarry with new friends and warm vibes :) Thankyou Jo, John, and the staff to make living easier for us all!!✨🌻

I moved from the regular Uni halls to The Quarry and it was such a good decision the staff are so friendly and my rooms have been So clean both times I’ve moved in which is such a big thing for me. The building is really nice and the rooms feel cosy and livable. I have a studio right now and its a really nice space with good features. There have been times i asked for different accomodations to be made for me as i have extra needs and the staff have been there for me every time and were able to help with what i needed.

I've really liked living here at The Quarry in my 2nd and 3rd year at university ❤️ Everyone in the office is lovely and caring and want to help if things come up. My studio feels so homely and cosy and I've really settled in here. I've felt happy and relieved to come back home to The Quarry these past 2 years and I'm definitely going to miss it a lot when I leave! ♡

The Quarry was an excellent choice for my student housing needs. The room was modern and spacious, and security measures provided peace of mind. The communal areas encouraged social interaction, and the responsive management team made it a hassle-free experience. The staff and security are very kind, polite and helpful, it has made my stay wonderful!

The Quarry is such a lovely accommodation to stay and is more than expected! I feel very settled here and Jo has been more than welcoming upon my arrival here which has really made the stay. The rooms are of a very high quality and Tony is able to help you out with any maintenance issues that you may have. I only found this accommodation in my 3rd year but since arriving I wish that I could’ve experienced this accommodation much earlier into my studies! You have a lovely view of the river which is beautiful in the morning and is just the perfect place to stay. There is a range of cluster flats with en-suite rooms and studios so it is perfect for everyone! I would definitely recommend staying at The Quarry in Falmouth and I will definitely be sad to leave!!

Jo and Tony are very welcoming people and always ready to help. They go above and beyond to make sure all my needs are available. Being in the Quarry is making my stay very pleasant.

I absolutely love it here at The Quarry student accommodation in Falmouth! It's not just a place to stay; it's become a home away from home for me. The staff is nothing short of amazing. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and are always ready to help with a friendly smile. The rooms are fantastic, clean, and well-maintained. But it's the sense of community and the welcoming atmosphere that truly sets The Quarry apart. I couldn't have asked for a better place to live while studying in Falmouth. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for student accommodation!

Perfect and stress-free place to live in! I've been renting various student accommodations in the UK for the past 4 years and this is by far the best place to live in. You can focus on your studies without worrying about your room, which happened a lot before living here. Doesn't matter what the weather is like, my room always stays dry and warm. Easy to get to either campus from here too! Management is amazing! There's always something going on and all the tenants are nice so you have plenty of opportunities to socialise and meet new people. If you choose to rent somewhere else- good luck.

The Quarry is a perfect location, a 5 minute walk to the sea if you’re into sea swimming! clean, warm and big rooms with lovely building managers who are happy to help with any tiny issues, a big common room where they host lots of social gatherings, free pizza and parties, a 10 minute walk to town, 10 minute bus ride to Penryn campus, and the fact that all bills are included is a huge bonus, especially now during the cozzie livs crisis! I chose to move in a few weeks late due to my original accommodation falling through and I couldn’t be happier and more comfortable in this space! Jo and her team sorted me with a room within a matter of days and i’m so grateful and comfortable here now! I’ve got the perfect mix of a social space, but feel like I have my own little flat because the rooms are so sound proof. :)

Great location close to the Greenbank and right on the sea. There's a small beach nearby with a nice green area to chill and do work when it's not raining. The staff at the Quarry are all awesome. Jo manages the place impeccably and always has time for the residents. The common room is right next to main office and it is very comfortable with pod coffee making facilities. Overall, a lovely place to be that takes the edge off the pressure of study.

Me and my partner have been living at the quarry for a few months now and have had a great time in our superior studio. Really warm and well insulated, with none of the damp problems we usually have in Cornwall. In addition to this, staff and security have been super great, helpful, and accomodating. I would definitely recommend the quarry to anyone in need of accomodation while at university. Get your room while they're available too because they get booked up fast!

Fav place to hang out is outside Jo’s office and the common room. Common room is always kitted out with seasonal decor which is greatly appreciated and crafty social events which are always put together. I love the fact that we have a student food bank here , it is nice to know I can get a free can of chopped toms or pack of pasta when I am struggling with money . Jo looks after her Quarry clan at the place I like to call ‘quarry nation street’ . bloomin brilliant!

The rooms and kitchen has plenty of space, all the employers I have met are all friendly people trying the hardest to create a safe,clean and comfortable environment. They host social gatherings for seasonal events like Halloween and Christmas with pizza and movies and useful starter packs for students! . I think all these factors combine makes the quarry a great place to rent a room. Not to mention the beautiful sea view I get everyday and since living here have seen now 5 rainbows upclose going into the sea :)

Whilst the location is nice, and the view from some windows is great, the living experience in the Quarry has been abysmal. The pricing of the accommodation is ridiculous: the kitchens are small with minimal storage space (I've resorted to storing some pans and pots in my room), the rooms are small and narrow with horribly designed windows (most residents shut their blinds throughout the day and night, otherwise everyone can see wagwan in your room), the laundry facilities are ridiculous and expensive (there are only 2 washing machines and two driers for 120+ students and you'll be spending £20 per month on average just for the laundry. Finally, the accomodation was built in a residential area with next to no regard for the local residents. The residents like to show their dissent too. You'll be charged £84 if you forget your key in your room - door locks as soon as you leave the room. Night security (8pm-4am) here is good though. No security between 5pm-8pm or weekends.
