I studied at UoE for a semester through the exchange program and decided on staying in Salisbury Court strictly because I would have my own room/bathroom. I was put in a 10 person mixed flat. Here is my experience: I love how large the windows and desks are, there's storage under the bed and a closet. I had to go out and buy bedding for myself (which I later found I could have rented from management after having been told I couldn't). The common room in the flat has hobs/ovens, the world's smallest microwave, sinks, cupboards, and a kettle. My real issues with this accommodation are the bed and internet. If you enjoy feeling each and every spring of your bed jabbing into your body the whole night then you will love these beds. I started waking up bruised because of it and finally flipped the mattress over. I now sleep on a very hard surface but it's better than death by springs. Also, the internet constantly is shutting on and off in my room, specifically on my phone. Not good.

The common room areas are good but not really used, the cleaners are getting kind of lazy not really cleaning. Really close to campus, 10 min walk and close to Sainsbury's and Pollock so its easy to meet people.
