Clive Booth Student Village Reviews

Awful value for money. INCOMPETENT and useless hall office team, terrible security guards who hand out fines for fun, Wifi so bad I can’t even describe, and mould in the en suites. The money we pay for this accommodation is just for the location, and people in the city (at Oxford uni) pay less anyway!!! The fact that this is the best Brookes has to offer for accommodation is very worrying. Get it sorted out!

The new block (A) is great! Spacious kitchens with seating area- great for socialising. Nice modern rooms and proper showers, not just a wet room. I always felt safe in my block and there is a visible presence of security. Albeit sometimes they are annoying during pres. 5 minute walk to JHB.

Most of the amazon orders disappear

Very disappointing. Expensive for strong mold in the bathroom, loud traffic, hard bed and dark room. Which is fine, but customer service was appalling, I left immediately and couldn’t get my refund for the rest of my stay there. Lost 300 pounds. Never again.

The worst thing about Clive booth postgraduate centre is that you never get your deliveries. Even though you write your address correctly, block and flat number, the delivery company never manage to find where you are. The hall management doesn’t care and the reception refuse to take your deliveries. So be aware that you will be losing orders and letters. We all know that we live in an era that it’s impossible to live without online shopping and deliveries. Even my groceries I used to do online, however I had to stop it because of this Clive booth issue.

10 minutes walk from uni up a hill

Pretty good, bar the fact I got put in a flat with all girls despite not asking for this and also finding girls harder to socialise with

Really social halls with many green outdoor spaces and also really close to JHB where most degrees are taught. Close to bus stops into Oxford town and parking for students with cars

Good value, well managed, hugely social with location and student village set up. Best WiFi I have ever used

Very expensive due to its location but in terms of management there is no supervision of the communal area, no guidance about the regulations, the kitchen is a mess without the staff's intervention, maintenance issues and no welcoming guidance.

Very sociable. Great sized flats, large kitchens, great value for money

WiFi is temperamental. There are no communal areas at halls part form a lame computer room at reception. It’s ok. But only ok.

En-suite and shared bathrooms, accommodation for all budgeta

Highspeed internet, good facilities and large kitchen

s*** wifi but overall everthing has been fine

Typical halls experience at clive and has a good atmosphere

Really good no common room however

Ethernet better than WiFi most of the time

Old but good. Regularly cleaned. Great location

Amazing student life, good position, affordable price

Friendly atmosphere, great staff!

REally good and communal... shame they’re so expensive

Very old halls with Oxford prices so very low value for money. Good halls socially but meets basic needs.

It could do with a revamp but in a great location

WiFi never worked. Flatmates never reprimanded despite causing a literal maggots infestation (I was away but had to clean it up). I asked for a ground floor room at the start of the year because I’m disabled. Got given a top floor room with no lift. My condition got worse and had to use a wheelchair and call a warden every time I wanted to enter or leave my flat which was pretty humiliating. Also I reported my shower fan as not working at the start of the year. Did it ever get fixed? Of course not!

Very close to JHB. Unfortunately there is no common room.
