They offer great service which makes living here comfy but also super welcoming and suits what I need, great value for money
Student 2 December 2015
Lively and fun atmosphere - Really helpful and friendly staff on site - Good facilities and felt safe all the time
Jay Praed 28 April 2015
I've had a brilliant time living here, I couldn't have asked for more. The staff have been brilliant, they have fun, they help you out, they do what they can to make you as comfortable as possible. I've never had a bad word to say about the staff. CQ has a gym which isn't great by any stretch of the imagination. But there's 2 about 10 mins from CQ in opposite directions of each other. They have a free pool table which is very well used, but yet still always seems to be available which is great. The rooms are really good, got everything you need. Maybe just missing a plug socket near the bed. They have various games and events throughout the year which is always fun and a Tesco just round the corner. The only bad thing I can say is that it's 20 minutes from the City campus and 45 from Collegiate which definitely deteres a lot of people from going into uni most days. Would highly recommend for people who have no trouble getting out of bed but would recommend something closer for others.
