Athena Hall

“Please stop smoking weed in the room next door.”

“A nicer, good-looking outdoor area to hang out in, whatever the weather throws at you”

“Repairs and maintenance could use some improvement”

“I like that there are more studio rooms for people who want some privacy or who just want to feel safer during a pandemic like this one. I honestly felt uneasy in my place because of Covid, so I ended up leaving after a month. If I’d been able to get a studio, I would have stayed at Athena Hall the whole time.”

“The upkeep of the shared spaces, mainly the communal kitchens, was really well handled.”

“When I looked at the kitchen layout, I really paid attention to things like the fridge and freezer size, the oven, how much cupboard space there is, and the sink dimensions.”

“There needs to be more space. I know it’s student housing, but as a student midwife I really need room for things like my textbooks and my laptop. Also, because I only have time to do a weekly shop, the fridge space isn’t big enough for everything.”

“It feels like poor value for money. The washing machines are there, but you have to pay for a card first, and then you still have to pay again just to do a wash.”

“The price feels outrageous compared to other places to stay, especially for what you actually get.”

“The biggest issue here is the price. It feels wildly overpriced, but the English students don’t really pay attention to it because they’re covered by their maintenance loan. So the management keeps raising the rates again and again.”
