Student 2 December 2015
Management was dreadful there was never anyone around for assistance. We also got heavily over-charged for breakages at the end of the year- they try to rip you off.
Student 2 December 2015
Good as had freedom (no RAs like in other halls) but when a pipe burst in a flat above and flooded the kitchen and corridor, very slow to fix situation and was left with a broken ceiling for 5 months
Student 2 December 2015
Roll out of bed into uni, and 5 mins walk from shops and nightlife. lovely en suite rooms, and big kitchen living areas ideal for parties. tesco basically inside the building.
