The best part of this accommodation is definitely the location. It is located in the very centre of the campus. Library is literally downstairs. The farthest lecture building is 5 minutes away (but if you walk faster you can be there for 2 minutes). Laundry is also very close (3 minutes away). The kitchen is massive - 2 new hobs, 2 new ovens, 1 huge fridge and 1 huge freezer. Everyone gets 2 cupboards with enough space for kitchen utensils. The downside is that there is no couch or anything really apart from the table and the chairs. So most time if you want to chill with roommates you have to invite them to your room. 3 toilets and 3 shower rooms should be split between 14 people. But I must say I never had to wait to use any of these. The worst part is the noise. Since this is one of the most popular blocks with the most flats it can be very noisy. Feel free to call security tho they fix this within minutes. Unfortunately a lot of noise from trucks and cathedral.

Someone somewhere is always partying... the uni-life experience at it's best. Most central location on campus (two mins walk to laundry, library, store, SU, nightclub, lecture theatre, and teaching block). Kitchens have recently been ungraded.

Best standard rooms on campus (recently refurbished). Didn't get on with my flatmates and some were very messy so hard to gauge cleaning standards and social experience.

It would have been good, but sleep was absolutely murdered. Extremely loud trucks came extremely early six days a week, and on Sunday the cathedral bells started up very early too. Also the fire doors slam so loudly it makes things in your room rattle every time someone goes in and out of their room. I spent the whole year getting very little sleep, and really struggled to make it to 9 ams

Battersea is a great place to live. Great location, especially for Rubix and the Library/Surrey shop and the rooms and kitchen are a decent sized, although sometimes a but cramped if everyone is cooking at the same time.

Great location, less than a 5 minute walk to most lectures, very close to the library as well. Room was in a good condition, nothing broken or worn, good size room. Applicants in the kitchen are a bit old, the electric Hobbs aren't great, slow to heat up and the oven was slow to cook things too. Bathroom and shower layout was good, were a number of problems with the water supply throughout the year though, but was quickly fixed. Showers are powerful and there was always one free. Cleaners come twice one week and three times the next, cleaning was ok if the kitchen was tidy when they came, the cleaner didn't always clean that well though. I loved living in Battersea Wells!

Communal things broke a lot (lights,toilets,fridges...) but were always quickly repaired. Being in the centre of campus was definitely convenient and there was never a dull moment!
