Emily Bowes Court Reviews

The halls overall was a nice place to stay for my first year of university however there were several things that I would say need to be considered when living there. The location is in zone three so travel was very expensive. There was also a lot of building work going on in the accommodation for a long time. It was very loud, starting early in the morning and went on for several weeks if not months. There were also a lot of instances in which the halls emailed us informing us people would be coming into our kitchens and bedrooms which made it feel as if there was little privacy. On one occasion we had to pack up the entirety of our room including all of our things and put them into boxes for repainting which only caused more problems. Due to this repainting my flatmate has been wrongly charged £90 for “wall damage” when there was clearly no damage to the room. The prices are also going up this September so may as-well stay somewhere better :-)

No stars for me! When I went for the viewing, I wanted to view the room that I was going to get given but the women who showed us a round said the only room they could show is the showroom. when I finally got to see my room (2 days later, I had all my stuff with me to move in), the was nothing like the showroom, it was worn out, wood was chipped here and there, the room had a weird smell, dusty (I couldn't even breathe properly), I was told the walls are thick but they are not as I was in the room for 20mins and I could hear the boiler and someone having a shower. the kitchen was worse then the room, horrible, disgusting, dirty, messy, broken, old and I checked out in 20mins. the only good thing about the accommodation is the location and thats it. there are better options out there, don't waste your money.

It's okay, but a bit expensive. They also have very strict rules.

Great location, great for socials
