Overall
Overall, my experience living at The Meadows has been very positive. The location is incredibly convenient, offering a quick and easy walk to lectures and central campus facilities. The room itself feels modern, and having a small double bed is a massive upgrade over standard student housing. The communal kitchen is spacious with excellent full-sized fridge and freezer storage, and having the social pavilion and gym membership included adds great value. However, the wet-room style en-suite bathroom does feel exceptionally cramped and compact for this price tier. If the bathroom layout could be improved, it would easily be the perfect accommodation on campus.
