UCLan has been incredible! The lecturers are super supportive and always happy Tramshed in Preston is honestly one of the best student accommodations I’ve come across. From the very beginning, the application process was super straightforward and easy to complete. I was surprised at how quick and stress-free it was to get everything sorted! The accommodation itself is fantastic – clean, modern, and perfectly located. Everything you need is right there, and the atmosphere is really welcoming. I instantly felt at home. If you're a student looking for somewhere to live in Preston, I can't recommend Tramshed enough. It’s an amazing place to stay, and the whole experience from applying to moving in was just top-tier! read more

I've had a lovely time at foundry court. The staff are extremely friendly, and there are a plethora or free events every week. As an international student homesickness is inevitable - especially when you have to spend holidays or cultural events alone. So, I am extremely lucky to have foundry court celebrate Chinese New Year as it honestly was the first time overseas I felt my culture celebrated. On top of that, you can tell that staff really care about your wellbeing. There was one time my light wasn't working, and it was fixed the day after I filed my report (like what?!). This was genuinely the easiest review I've had to write, because I do love living here. I am glad to call it my home away from home. read more
