There are many things to like about ‘The Foundry’. From its location to the staff and facilities. 'The Foundry' is quite the modern student accommodation, with very cosy rooms. It is just a walk away from the city centre, nightclubs and most universities which means no city centre chaos. The staff at 'The Foundry' are always very welcoming and helpful which I feel is quite important when looking for student accommodation. While booking, the staff at 'The Foundry' were able to allocate me with other first-year students which allowed me to make friends and therefore, settle in well - enhancing my university experience.

Very Good accommodation. Decent sized rooms and very well equipped gym available all the time for anyone who likes to stay active.
1. committed to providing 24-hour reception service, however, this service has been cancelled since in May; 2. committed to providing free printing/copying service, however, only be permitted to print 5 pages once. I hardly use this service as I printed in the school library before, but the university has closed temporarily, and I had a very important file which needed printing, so I asked for help and your staff refused me as my document page over 5 pages. I do not understand this rule, if maximum 5 pages can be printed at a time, how about I send 3 files (less than 5 pages) in twice or third times, will you help me print them? I am confused, will you have more reasonable and fail solutions? 3. though they did not do the wrong things, some staff's behaviours make me feel uncomfortable and impolite. No service attitudes!
Nice accommodation and staffs are very nice
A pleasurable stay for my final year! The building was well equipped with a number of facilities like the onsite gym, which made student life a lot easier. The reception and maintenance staff were really helpful whenever approached with a query- particularly Jenna from Reception who was very supportive from the start of my tenancy right until the end. The 2 guys on the maintenance team were really friendly and always helpful even for minor issues like a blocked drain.

I really enjoy living at The Foundry, the staff are very friendly. My room is very spacious and there are really good facilities, both in my room and in the communal areas.
Overall a fantastic place to live, I'm very happy and settled here and I always want to showy room off to people.
Re-booked for next year, lovely staff and friendly atmosphere all round
Had maggots and mould in the flat when paid to move in early. Refused a refund. and stuff stolen when flat mate is a known theif by staff, also no social events put on. Dissapointed is an understatement
People at the reception has been so nice, welcoming and friendly! They are offering to help with anything!! The social space is amazing! A lot of facilities! I think that the Nintendo area should add more games like overcook!
