Great location and great room size, close to everything you might need. Cleaners were extremely rude to the point we had to kick them out a couple times and would complain about literally anything such as some crumbs at the cooker, usually said crumbs were not for the cooker as it didn't work... Accommodation staff team is very nice and friendly but takes them a decade to do anything, we had no toilet seat for 2 months, 3 of the chairs in the living room were completely ripped with foam coming out the middle. Its barely social other than possibly passing other people in the stairwells, although that may have been my flatmates so don't automatically assume the same would apply to everyone. Wifi would constantly cut out (i was on an xbox series x, it was generally stable for studying). Only saving grace of the place is its easy to get out of the place and into town...

Great location and great room size. However, two bathrooms for six people is a bit problematic. The walls are very thin, and if you're on the Union Street side, you're gonna hear every single car outside at 3 am (forget a healthy sleep schedule!). Also, the staff can be rude and the cleaning ladies show up very rarely. In my opinion, it's still better than the crap prisons on campus especially for 2nd and 3rd-year students, but it's still a waste of money like all student accommodations in Stirling.

Most social accommodation in Oadby. Student accommodation are always expensive but the location is perfect as it's close to everything.

it is difficult to say because it is far off campus, so you don't get the stirling uni scenery. however great for those who love the nights out, union street is almost all used for nurses, so don't go if you're not a nurse or integrated degree student. living rooms are nice and bedrooms are massive in comparison however bathrooms although there are 2, are a bit grotty and small, some nice porters, but one lady is a pain. if you are an integrated degree student, then this is your only option for accommodation, and travelling to FVC in falkirk is a pain in the ass, especially in winter. you have to really want to do the course

A lot of stuff wasn't working when we got there, it's fixed now though. Even though it's one of the cheapest halls at the Uni of Stirling, I would expect more for the money. The location is perfect though, two bus stops just outside, two minutes to Tesco and seven minutes to the city centre.

Worst halls I've ever stayed in !!!! Cleaners are as rude as anything, the wifi is actually desperate disconnects if you move from one room to another, there is no "common space" literally your bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. Would not recommend this to anyone as electric runs out so quickly after the first couple of weeks living there !!! Horrible depressing place

Poor quality rooms, mould on walls, things constantly breaking, not good value for money, not too many other alternatives for student nurses.
