How do you rate INTO Joseph Cowen Halls?


Most helpful review

A good thing about Joseph Cowen is the location. The entrance is 1 min away from the INTO BUILDING and like 5 mins from the agriculture and the Herschel Building and there weekly cleaning is spot on. However they have a number of problems. For starters, in the summer they do not provide any source of cooling. Their heaters in the rooms have a cooling setting but NONE of the heaters in the whole building provide cool air. Only works for heating so you could die from the hot air. Next , their WI-FI OMG this can be like the worst thing . It is so unreliable and unless . It only really work like 30% of the time and even then it disconnect from the phone. It is so annoying. I spend a lot of my data as that is the only source I have for internet connection. Moving on, the accommodation staff hardly reply to emails and even then it is after a few days have past. Lastly, the value for the money is not great their are other accommodations that provide more facilities like a gym and study area.
