The management team of this property is atrocious. My flatmate had a broken shower, reported it 5 times, and no one came to help until the 2nd semester. We also had an awful experience with one of our flatmates, we contacted the accommodation team around 10 times between us within a 5 week period, and because this flatmate denied claims, they chose not to help us - despite one my flatmates actually entering therapy for these issues. The issue flatmate had a condition, so that was used for grounds to excuse all behaviour that we reported - even those that were not related to the condition. Saying this, the accommodation is good for money, in a brilliant location (about 8 minute walk from the university) and has lovely kitchen areas for socialising with flatmates. Rooms are spacious too. Overall, the accommodation itself is great, but any support needed throughout the year was not there. read more

So I've been here under a week and I already have some complaints. My tap does not work as there is an excess of mold that is stuck to the actual head and turns any water coming out to mist. The light in my room did not work and it does not light up the room. It is very cold, spiders everywhere and we sleep on hospital-like beds. Not a great first impression but I like to look at the positives. The surrounding areas are beautiful, the other students are so kind, the rooms are spacious, it seems pretty safe despite other reviews stating otherwise. Overall, it's okay. I will get in touch with the maintenance people in the morning to fix everything. If these little issues were fixed this would be an amazing accommodation! read more

Bit of a mixed bag when it comes to living and social quality - Depending on which flat you’re in, you could either have a really good kitchen for socialising or a s*** one. No real living rooms, but the bigger kitchens have plenty of space for doing stuff Cleaners are good so long as students keep their stuff relatively in order, however there’s bugs in some of the flat kitchens, so that’s a bit grim Wi-Fi is as good as it can be, far as I know every room has an Ethernet adapter so you’ll get wired connections on any devices that really matter Location is good, a trek to the supermarkets but online shopping exists for a reason. Close to the uni and The Grange, not far to the town center Provided you get put in a good flat, city res is fine so long as you’re not expecting the uni to suck you off every time you complain. It’s cheaper than some and not the shittest either, what more could you want They need to get rid of the f****** kitchen bugs though read more
