I've stayed at foundry for my first and second year, and have just rebooked for my final year :) The flats are a really nice size and have an awesome desk, and the price is one of the most affordable in the area. They also have many little events at reception including ice cream and chocolate fountains which I always love to see :D Plus, this year study rooms have been added outside reception and the common room has had a gorgeous revamp!

I moved to foundry court for my first year and couldn’t be more impressed, love the fact it’s a double bed and ensuite for only 90 pounds a week, decent living spaces, nice new renovated common room and study areas and the staff are all wonderful, all maintenance requests I’ve had have been sorted in under 48 hours, when I had to move rooms I had the keys within 2 hours of my request, the only thing I would like is possibly more social events and there’s sometimes issues with not having as many washing machines as I’d like for the buildings capacity, but for 90/week it’s amazing value for money, the internet is pretty reliable too, sometimes has its off days but way better than I’d expected hearing other people talk about wifi in their accommodation, can’t really get parcels on the weekend but other than the very few downsides I’ve mentioned it’s a fantastic place to live and would recommend it to any new starting students or someone wanting a new place to live for the year

I lived in Foundry Court for my final two years and I wished I found it sooner. You won’t find a more dedicated and caring team of staff who want you to get the best possible experience in student accommodation. The on-site team are always friendly, welcoming and willing to assist you in any way. The common room is a place where you can relax, play games, watch tv and also where social events are held, as well as this the daily freebies as you pass through reception are also an added bonus. The rooms are spacious, well heated and the beds are comfortable and easily fit two people. The en-suite bathrooms are also very good, the showers are powerful! If you’re looking for a student accommodation that cares about you and your time at university, look no further than Foundry Court. (I already miss it dearly)

Where do I start, Foundry Court has been absolutely amazing. The staff has been so supportive throughout the course of my 3 year stay. The rooms are clean and cozy and are spacious. I've been here throughout the covid pandemic and the staff has handled this difficult situation extremely well. The property location is just a short 2 minute walk from campus. The facilities are fab from social spaces, to top notch WiFi. So if your looking for more than just a room to sleep and study in, look no further than foundry Court.

Homes for students have dealt with Covid-19 horrifically. This doesn't help the fact that Foundry Court is one of the worst student accommodations I have stayed at. Mice in the rooms and kitchen, never enough hot water, constant maintenance issues, leaks in the kitchen windows, poor communication, lack of care of financial situations and a terrible postage system. Do NOT book with HFS and do NOT stay at Foundry. Plenty of other student accommodations in Preston which are better and cheaper.

Place is a hidden gem in preston , you get way more for what you pay , by far the best halls I've been in by miles, and I've been in a few. Maintenance are always on top of any requests you put in most of it done in a day or two and sometimes on the same day!! . Management and admin staff are super friendly and will do everything they can to make you feel like you comfortable and enjoy your time. Security is always around so no issues if you get locked out or if you burnt your toast by accident and accidentally waking up your block at 3am Oooppss :). I absolutely recommend this place hand on heart you won't find a better deal for halls in Preston. Will definitely miss everyone when I eventually have to leave although I'm sure they will be glad that I have left
