Great place to get to know your other students. Great community, but not worth the money unless you like silverfish, flooding and rats.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Wifi was not the best
When I lived here it was clean and everything it advertised
It would be even better if you didn't have to go catered. It would also be better if they have a more lounge area in the social area.
It's really easy to socialise within these halls and the communal space is large enough to have people over which is great. However, the showers and wifi connection have caused the most problems. The condition of most kitchen appliances is great, however small things like blocked sinks or flickering lights do start to cause trouble after a while. All in all, Welkin is a great place for studying and getting to meet new people, the launderette and students union bar is in great proximity.
Internet was bad, food was average, cleaners did a good job, halls was frequently noisy, especially in he middle of the night, and it's very far away from clubs and town
Great place to live and meet everyone you need to make friends for life
