Hayloft Point

“Kitchens get messy way faster than you’d think. It’s especially frustrating when a couple of flatmates don’t clean up, and they also ignore you in the group chat when you ask them to. A rota that the accommodation enforces would genuinely help a lot.”

“I honestly think the accommodation is really good compared to the other places I looked at. It’s always close to my campus, and it’s not too far from my house either. There are loads of transport connections, which makes everything easier. That said, the gym definitely needs work. It would be better with more leg machines, and they should also fix all the equipment that’s been out of order since I moved in. Because of that, I can’t use the gym as much as I’d like, since I’m not a fan of free weights. Also, the laundry is way too expensive, especially for uni students. The cleaning isn’t great either. Near the bin area, the floor has had spilled drink and all sorts of mess on it, and it’s honestly really off putting. On top of that, when I bring problems to reception, there doesn’t seem to be any proper follow up, so that’s something that needs improving too.”

“I really liked getting to mix and mingle more with other students from the university.”

“The space in the bedroom and the bathroom”

“The bedroom felt bigger, and there wasn’t a fire alarm in the kitchen door area.”

“The number of people, or students, trying to get into parties so they can turn the flats into a spot for a big group of kids.”

“Overall, it’s been a good and secure place to live. That said, it’s unbelievably expensive for what you actually get.”

“Sometimes the other tenants can be really inconsiderate about keeping things quiet.”

“This gym is awful, and the rent is ridiculously high, like it really hurts.”

“I like that we can manage the heating ourselves, so we don’t have to sit around waiting for the room to drop below 16.”
