I’ve been living at my private university accommodation for a while now, and overall, it’s been a positive experience. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from campus, which makes getting to classes super easy. It’s also close to public transport and local shops, so everything I need is within reach. The facilities here are pretty good. My room came fully furnished with a bed, desk, and plenty of storage space, which was a huge relief. The Wi-Fi is reliable, and the communal areas, like the kitchen and lounge, are clean and well-maintained. One of the best parts about living here is the sense of community. It’s easy to meet people through shared spaces and organized events, but I will admit it can get a bit noisy sometimes. That said, it’s been manageable, and the staff are always approachable if there are any issues. Security is a big plus too. The building has secure entry systems and CCTV, so I always feel safe coming and going, even late at night.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Overall great accommodation, however some issues with noise during the night due to the car way. Andy the goat 🐐
Hi Rafael, Thank you for leaving us a review and we are really pleased to hear that you are enjoying living with us. Sorry to hear that you are finding issues with cars at night, it should be pretty quiete at night with not much traffic around. Really pleased to hear that you are happy with the service that we provide to you and you feel I am the greatest of all time :), Kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Overall very good accommodation. Good for students who study in west section of the university. Rooms are neat and comfortable. Distance to main town center is abit far but is offset by the bus pass.
Thank you for leaving us a review, we are pleased to hear that you like living with us. Great to hear that you like the accommodation facilities, location to the uni campus and that we provide the complimentary bus passes, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Really affordable for what you get. Rooms are spacious, wifi is reliable, facilities are clean. Staff are friendly and incredibly helpful, we needed a larger fridge for our flat and a new fridge was set up within a week. The staff also make an effort to set up social events. Location is good if your studies are primarily based in the engineering blocks. Town is quite far but there are bus passes available in reception. All in all, a great place to stay.
Thank you for leaving us a lovely review, we are really pleased to hear taht you like the accommodation facilities, the friendly and helpful service we provide. Great to hear you like the social events that we arrange and the location to uni campus, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Everyone I've met at the cube has been wonderful whether it's staff or students. Location is a bit far compared to others but completely worth it as there's a bus stop right outside that can go (mostly) anywhere and the rooms are amazing. Overall I really like this place, the only downside is location but it really makes up for it everywhere else. It's a 10-15 min walk to campus anyways so if you like walking it's an overall win. This has been my favourite student accommodation as a student in their final year.
Hi Charlotte, Thank you for leaving us a lovely review, we are really pleased to hear that you are enjoying your stay with us. Great to hear that you like the facilities, service we provide and the location to uni, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
I had an excellent experience staying at The Cube student accommodation! The facilities are modern, clean, and well-maintained. My room was spacious and had everything I needed for studying and relaxing, including a comfortable bed, a desk, and plenty of storage space. The shared kitchen and lounge areas were always tidy, and it was easy to meet other students in the common spaces. The location is also ideal for engineers and them who will be having their lectures in the west park very close to campus, but town is 2.75 miles away so need to plan your shopping and stuff and public transport link for arriva is just outside the accomodation. The staff were always friendly and helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout my stay. Overall, The Cube offers a great balance of comfort, convenience, and community, and I would highly recommend it to any student looking for quality accommodation. Just a headsup no other student accommodation has bigger rooms than this one!!

Really nice accommodation to live in, the rooms are great and the facilities are always tidy. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. Getting to campus is also easy, especially if you do engineering, I definitely prefer it to on-campus halls, plus it is much more affordable.
Thank you for leaving us a lovely review. We are really pleased to hear that you really like the accommodation facilities, and you are happy with the great service that we provide to you. Good to hear that you like the location and rental pricing, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Everyday is a great day here at The Cube. Everyone is sociable and friendly.

Having a great place to focus on your studies is a must to succeed and I’m glad I have chosen The Cube to be that place.

I would recommend the cube in Loughbrough , I have had a good experience so far living here. Great value for money, rooms are very spacious. The bed is comfortable and the desk is very big.

Living at The Cube is so lovely, it has a very cosy vibe. Andy and Roger are very friendly, they sort out inquires and issues so quickly. The staff here put together a welcome party, there was pizza, so many fun games and it was a nice time to socialise. The rooms are spacious, the kitchen is nice has a sofa and TV in there too, all the facilities are lovely, so many fun games in the common room. There's a bus stop conveniently located in front of the accommodation, you get 50 free day bus passes. 10-15 walk from campus to get the shuttle bus. Londis and Subway in front of The Cube too, just across the road. Definitely recommend staying here.
Hi Beverley, Thank you very much for leaving us a lovely review. We are really pleased to hear that you are really enjoying living with us, and you like the accommodation facilities and the welcome party that we provided for you, Kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Been living here for 2 years now. I have had a great experience since moving in. From the spacious and well designed rooms to the fun common room where ive had many positive social experiences, the cube has felt like a home away from home. Special shoutout to Andy and Roger for accomodating me in the most hospitable way possible. Highly recommend for any future Loughborough students.
Thank you for leaving us a lovely review, it is great to hear that you have enjoyed the last couple of years living with us. Pleasing to hear you like the accommodation facilities, social events and service that we provide to you, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
My stay at the Cube was great. The building is new and well maintained. The rooms receive a lot of natural light and are quite spacious. This is one of the most affordable accommodations in Loughborough. If you are a STEM student, you're better off picking this accommodation as you're closest to that part of campus. There is a bus stop right outside the premises and the Cube gives you free bus passes. you're also not too far from a londis across the road and a spar(10 min walk away).
Thank you very much for leaving us a review. We are pleased to hear that you have enjoyed your stay with us. Great to hear you like the accommodation facilities, location to uni campus and the complimentary bus tickets we provide to you to help you commute into the town centre, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Affordable rooms with ample space, for both the communal kitchen and private rooms. Conveniently located near the Engineering block of the university. I mostly order groceries online so the location is not an issue. My only gripe is that the ensuite bathroom sink taps are the old UK types - Boiling hot, or freezing cold.
Thank you for leaving us a review, great to hear that you like the accommodation facilities and great location to the engineering building on campus. It does help having the university nearby to where you live. The sink taps are a mixer tap which allows residents to choose the water temperature, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
The Cube exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The common room, with its ample space and tasteful decor, became a hub for socializing and relaxation. It's where connections with fellow residents were effortlessly forged. The on-site facilities, including a well-equipped laundry and secure bike storage, showcased the attention to detail in meeting residents' needs. Moreover, the provision of guest vehicle parking not only eased transportation concerns but also highlighted the accommodation's commitment to visitor convenience. The seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics at The Cube made my stay not just comfortable but truly enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-notch living experience.
Thank you for leaving us a review, we are pleased to hear that you are very happy with the accommodation facilities and are enjoying your stay with us. Yes it is good that we have the parking available for your guests and thank you for recommending us, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
Best value in lboro pound for pound
Thank you for leaving us a review, we are pleased to hear that you feel it is good value for money, kind regards, Andy & Roger.
My experience at The Cube has been nothing short of exceptional. From its convenient location near the university to the well-furnished and spacious rooms, it truly feels like a home away from home. The safety measures in place, including access control and CCTV, provide a reassuring environment. The management and staff have been incredibly supportive, promptly addressing any concerns and fostering a sense of community through well-organized events. Despite occasional maintenance issues, the responsive team ensures a smooth living experience. The Cube offers excellent value for money with its inclusive rent structure. Overall, I highly recommend The Cube for its outstanding facilities, friendly atmosphere, and its role in making my student journey memorable and comfortable.
Living at The Cube has been fantastic. The spacious rooms provide a comfortable living space, with private bathrooms. The staff Andy and Roger's friendliness and readiness to assist with any issues have made my stay enjoyable. The parking facilities are convenient and secure, adding to the overall convenience. Free refreshments are a nice touch, and the well-designed common areas offer a vibrant space to socialize and have fun with fellow residents. Overall, The Cube has exceeded my expectations in various aspects, making it a great choice for student accommodation.
It has been absolutely delightful to stay here. It is value for money and filled with amenities. The property manager is also extremely helpful and friendly. Over a great experience.
The Cube has been amazing so far! So far no issues encountered.
Overall incredible accommodation. In terms of the building and rooms itself, it is perfect. The size of the rooms are great for the price, better than any in Loughborough. The only issues are the wifi/electricals have stopped working for a night in my second month of stay, the fan room sometimes comes on during the night and is loud. So far I am thoroughly enjoying my stay.
The cube is a fantastic place to live, everyone is kind and social Andy and Roger are amazing any issues we have are usually fixed within the working day. The facility is safe and secure
Cube is the best and peaceful place to live. It provides good facilities and the manager over here take care of us well.
A Vibrant Student Experience at The Cube Accommodation - Kudos to Andy and Roger for Outstanding Events My recent stay at The Cube Accommodation in Loughborough was nothing short of amazing, and it wasn't only because of the comfy rooms and handy location; it was also because of the lively and engaging atmosphere provided by the diligent managers, Andy and Roger. The Cube, as a student residence, goes above and above to develop a feeling of community and pleasure. What distinguishes it is Andy and Roger's constant effort to create events and festivals that make the living experience absolutely unique. Andy and Roger's event calendar is wide and inclusive, catering to the many interests of the student inhabitants. There's always something going on, whether it's a movie night, a gaming tournament, or a festival celebration. To summarise, The Cube is more than simply a place to stay; it's a centre of student life, and Andy and Roger are the architects of its success.
Had a fantastic experience at the Cube! The rooms are incredibly spacious, providing space for both living and studying. The personal bathrooms are a definite plus, offering convenience. The location is ideal as well. Overall, I highly recommend the Cube for its comfort, and excellent amenities.
The student accommodation impresses with its modern design and thoughtful amenities. The living spaces are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functionally well-equipped, with comfortable furnishings and ample storage. The kitchen area is a standout feature, boasting modern appliances and sufficient space for communal cooking and dining. What sets this accommodation apart is the attention to communal areas. The common spaces are strategically designed to facilitate both social interaction and focused study. Whether it's the communal lounge with comfortable seating or the study rooms equipped with the latest technology, every space is tailored to cater to the diverse needs of students. The management's commitment to security is evident through well-implemented access control measures and 24/7 surveillance. This contributes significantly to a sense of safety and peace of mind among residents. I am having nice time over here.
I chose this accommodation for my first year at uni for the price and the quality I saw on the pictures. The truth is, it felt better in real life. Everything was great in my first year in terms of the accommodation, and that’s why I chose to stay here for my 2nd year. The location is perfect for those who want to try and minimise temptations, and want a sense of peace. The rooms are much better than most on-campus halls, even those which are double the price.
The cube is the one of the cheapest and best option, room size is good, kitchen is large has Owen and a microwave, it is nearby to the bus stop and you will get free pass to travel around. Accomodations is cleaned and maintained Best place to stay in Loughborough.
I just wanted to share my awesome experience living in this student accommodation. First off, the rooms are super clean and bright, making it a great spot to both study and relax. Each room has its own bathroom and kitchen, which is a huge plus. It's really handy to have everything in one spot, and not have to worry about sharing these spaces. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, and all the cleaning stuff you need. It's perfect for cooking up a meal or just heating up some snacks. Accommodation managers, Mr. Andy and Mr. Roger. They are always around to help out and are super friendly. It's nice to know that if you ever have a question or need assistance, they're there to lend a hand. It really makes the place feel more like home. All in all, it's a great spot for students. Comfortable, convenient, and managed by some really great folks.

Title: "Exceptional Living at The Cube: A Student's Perspective" Review: The Cube stands out as a stellar student accommodation, blending comfort with convenience. Every room is a private oasis, complete with individual bathrooms and climate control. Safety is a priority, with smoke alarms in each room. The kitchen facilities are top-notch, featuring modern appliances like ovens, microwaves, and fridges. Beyond the basics, The Cube offers an engaging game room filled with various games and books, alongside a daily coffee and tea service. The highlight of The Cube is the manager, Andy Stafford. His friendly, enthusiastic approach to problem-solving and resident satisfaction sets him apart. In my ten years of hostel living, Andy is the best I've encountered. For excellent value, The Cube is unbeatable. My advice is to book early; spots fill up fast, and many regret missing out.
The cube is great for STEM students due to it being the closest student accommodation to the west park of campus. The place is tidy, well kept and maintained by the staff. The staff are always eager to help with any issues and have replaced a mattress that was not comfortable within the same week and also my desk chair. The cycle storage is very big. There's also a games room with a pool table that's free to use which is a big bonus. The only thing is that it's far from town but the staff have got this covered with the complimentary bus tickets. This is by far the best value for money accomodation if you prioritise being close to your lectures as opposed to being in the middle of the town. All in all great experience
I'm having very good experience in cube
Living in cube has been an absolute delight! The manager's dedication is commendable—always prompt and helpful in all terms. Proximity to the engineering department is a game-changer, saving me precious time. With the excellent service, I've extended my stay into next year without hesitation. A perfect blend of convenience and comfort!
Wish that cleaners can clean our kitchen as well
The experience has been amazing at The Cube. Andy and Roger are some of the best blokes I've met. Issues are resolved almost immediately by them. Spacious rooms when compared to other accomodations. Since it is at one edge of the town, bus passes provided by them are really handy. Overall a great experience. Laundry could've been cheaper though.
Great rooms and not too far from engineering, brilliant property managers.
The on site team at the Cube is absolutely second to none, they really go above and beyond to solve any issues promptly and an added bonus is that parcels are taken in and securely stored for you which gives peace of mind. Management also makes a lot of effort to arrange activities to make friends at The Cube, there’s always things going on which definitely adds a real community feel. The rooms are extremely spacious compared to a lot of halls, some of my friends rooms look like broom cupboards compared to mine- and the added bonus of an en suite is just great. The kitchen spaces are also really nice airy places to spend time and socialise with flatmates. The main con is that it’s extremely far from art related buildings, there is a bus service but often it doesn’t show up which means a 15 minute walk to get the campus shuttle- however this is not the Cube’s fault by any means, just something to bear in mind. Overall, extremely worth the money and has a great homely feel to it :))
Loving my stay here.. friendly staff, peaceful environment, rooms are spacious, big kitchen.. free games are available.. morning tea & coffee are free🤩 from Andy .. though away from town but there is good bus connectivity & free bus passes from cube😍
Friendly places for students and very helpful staff's
The Cube has a vibe of its own, despite being away from town center. It has the perfect environment to provide balance between your studies and enjoyment. The accommodation staff does everything to make you feel comfortable and cater to any problems that you might have during your stay here.
I came to Loughborough as an international student. Though being away from home, staying at the cube feels like a second home. The common room provided really helps everyone to get along. Every problem raised is immediately solved by the great staff working here. Great bonding activities and fun stuff is planned by accommodation manager every week. Other accommodation services, quality of flat/rooms is up to the mark.
The cube is a good accommodation to look for on the basis of cost. The amenities provided are perfect and the environment gives you the warmth of being home. It is located a little far from town but it can be a very eco-friendly and pleasant experience if a walk is required around the surrounding areas
A very lovely and cozy place to live with all the facilities. Good communal room for socializing with other flatmates. The rooms are very comfortable, and the staff is fantastic, with a warm and friendly attitude.
It's fairly cheap accommodation with on-site staff who resolve issues quickly. Though it should be noted that travel times to and from town can be longer than usual and if you are on the opposite side of campus for politics-related courses travel times can be frustrating so a bike may be necessary. Any issue that we found was resolved quickly and being far from town does mean that any havoc from clubs/pubs is not going to reach you. It's cheap, it's got onsite staff and it's calm as it's not near the town centre so you can avoid some of the noise.
Quiet, Good Location to Uni with free bus tickets to town, Good price, Friendly Staff
The cube is a great value for money student accomodation, with other loughborough accomodations being much more expensive. It is not far from university campus, less than 5 minutes on a bike, with even the far side of campus reachable within 10 minutes on a bike also. Residents are provided with bus passes which further reduces living costs and makes going into town and shopping very easy. The social space is quite small however it is sufficient with a pool table and other games, Residents at the cube mostly keep to themselves which does limit social experience however the staff try to put on many little events to try to get some engagement. There has been issues with water supply, however rooms were booked at a nearby hotel to allow residents to shower, and large bottles of water were provided for resisdents for other needs.
I would recommend living at The Cube as it is great value for money. The management team are very friendly and deal with any issues quickly. The rooms are very spacious and an en-suite is also offered. The walk to university is only 15 minutes. As it is not close to the town centre, free bus tickets are offered with the bus stop right outside The Cube.
The property manager, Andy is an absolute gem! So unbelievably helpful and kind and organises fun socials and is always down for a chat for however long you want! Roger the maintenance man is also lovely. The kitchen is incredibly spacious with sofas and a dining table which was a massive upgrade from my old accommodation last year as I had a tiny kitchen with no where to sit! The rooms are spacious and the shower is a tad small but is a standard size for student accommodation so can't complain. The view from the windows are lovely especially on the top floor, I love sitting on my windowsill and watching the birds. Only annoying things about this accommodation was some water issues (Andy did Everything he could to help those with no water) and some boy racers on the road at night. However that was out of the cubes hands and with the water company for the water issues and local police for the car nuisance. Everything that they can sort and fix they do quickly and always with a smile!
It's a well looked after place that's the perfect location for engineering students. It's is a bit out of town, but you get free bus trip vouchers which is great. I've really enjoyed my time here.
Excellent facilities, Customer service and spacious rooms and kitchen that are great value for money.
Great place to stay, alway support and assistance by a very friendly staff.
The place is really nice and comfortable, with a nice spacious room and good facilities. The place is very warm, so i think its perfect for anyone who gets particularly cold, and especially during the lower temperatures in winter.
Lovely place to live, friendly and welcoming staff. The facilities are great and the accommodation has a great social life and events. The value for money is amazing, the rooms are big and kitchens are not only spacious but amazing for socialising with flat mates. The manager Andy is great and helpful. It is a short walk from the university but it’s a manageable walk and easy to follow. Although it might be a quite a long walk to town, free bus passes are given and then it’s only 10 minutes. 100% recommend
A great accommodation option especially for the money, 30 minute walk from the centre of the campus but less than 15 minutes on the bike, and my time here has been very fun, nice kitchens, spacious rooms and an amazing social area.
I had friends who lived here previously and they never had one complaint. I thought to try it out and so far so good. Great management team and staff on ground to support you 24/7.
Overall very good accommodation, the staff are friendly and the smaller size in comparison to other student accommodations is a huge positive. The cost of the accommodation also makes this a significantly option to university halls; the location is a downside but the easy access to busses is very helpful, although almost everything is still within walking distance.
Fantastic management, you can be sure the staff will respond to any issues as soon as possible. With Covid restrictions lifting, more activities are being held that give all residents the opportunity to get involved and socialise. The location is also extremely convenient, being only about a 10-15 minute walk from the Loughborough University campus. The rooms are cosy and very accommodating for any student wishing for a great study space. Would highly recommend it.
My experience has been much more positive than negative... Rooms are comfortable with enough storage space for a student. Pleasant comfy space and common area for the flatmate or communal area. Sufficiently warm, hardly had to use the radiator... during hot days unfortunately lack of ventilation... Staff is really kind and helpful... have had no issues whatsoever! My university buildings are a 15min walk away so no issues... Town centre and amenities are a bit far but luckily The Cube provides with limited number of free bus passes which makes it easier for us... Overall I´m happy with my choice!
Good accommodation, plenty of space, although a trek to town
Friendly staffs. They've done very well managing the whole accommodation, such as handling complaints either from students or the neighborhood, getting repairs done in time, helping deal with parcels and packages, and so forth. The accommodation is around 15mins walking away from the campus, especially for architecture and engineering students who will have lectures and studios majorly in West Park. Although it takes 20mins bus to get to Loughborough town center, it still won't bother too much. The accommodation provides free bus passes of day savers, and the bus stop is just next to the accommodation. In total, I reckon the Cube is a wonderful choice for students.
The staff are very nice and welcoming, always available and willing to help. I’ve enjoyed staying here so much I stayed for three years.
Stayed at The Cube now for 4 years total. The rooms are great value for money, high quality furnishings and lots of space. Rooms are on par with the best on campus, but a fraction of the price. Great access to engineering side of campus, 15 min walk. Anything on the other side of campus you may want to bike. The staff are really friendly and accomodating and generally easy to get on with. I am an ASO which means I have a car parking space, but if not then you will struggle with a car. Only other issues I have had are that the temperature of some areas of the building can get quite hot/quite cold if the weather has been consistently so. I have also been allocated rooms in male-only flats for my entire stay, which has provided some issues with cleanliness of communal areas. All in all, it's absolutely worth the money, would definitely recommend to any 2nd years or higher, especially serious students because it's quiet here.
The social experience hasn't been the same cause of covid but the management team are absolutely lovely. The location can be a bit frustrating, particularly if you want to go to the gym or a late night walk. However, we do get complimentary bus passes which help a lot and the rooms and so worth it. You get a lot for what you pay for. Even the smallest rooms are nicely sized and bigger than most,accomodation rooms.
Very cosy rooms with private toilets and showers. The building is located in a quiet area near Loughborough University campus which is very convenient. Noise is never an issue except for a few instances by some residents, but issues are always quickly resolved by management. Great value for money with friendly staff, I highly recommend it. The Cube is an ideal place for studying in addition to taking part in social activities.
Very good value for money, location is a 15 minute walk to the west campus entry so it's especially convenient for engineering students, however this means that most students here are probably engineers and so probably have their hands full with uni work. WiFi has good speed but often disconnects (for me), but Ethernet is excellent.
The Cube is the only accommodation in Loughborough I've lived in, so I have nothing to compare it to, but my experience here has been enjoyable. The staff at The Cube are really friendly and responsive to any queries. The only downside is the distance from the high street, but thankfully we get 50 bus passes a year so that's not a concern (and it means I've been cooking a lot more). I will add, the nearby residential areas are a great place to go for a run which is something I was looking for. Overall, the room is decent and cozy and the staff are helpful. I've already booked in for next year.
The Cube is excellent value for money, with spacious rooms and kitchens. The communal areas are also a great place for spending your free time with your flatmates. The location is quite far from the town but with free bus passes, this isn't a massive issue. The best thing by far is the property management and staff. They're friendly and always happy to help should you have any issues.
The cube is a very loving family! The room was very warm and the staff were very friendly!
Great value for money. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The only drawback is the location but the free bus passes for travel around Loughborough make up for it.
The best place to stay in Loughborough, great value for money and awesome facilities. The staff are very friendly, helpful and approachable. Cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Management team is helpful and considerate with residents difficulty. Have monthly hall activity. The location is pretty far from town but close to uni especially engineering buildings. They do however provide an amount of free bus ticket for travelling to town.
The accommodation is good value for money although a little too far from town and the campus. It is very quiet though so a good place for students who wish to focus on their studies.
The Cube offers student accommodation in Loughborough at a significantly cheaper price than that of university halls, whilst also being more appealing to many. It offers a quiet and cost-efficient way of university life - not too noisy and with fairly large rooms for each student. While the atmosphere and location may not be suited to a lot of parties or getting to campus, the bus tickets provided (as well as the bus stop outside) allow for an easy means of travel to be able to get around and make plans with friends. The on-site staff are friendly and often plan out social events within the accommodation. The ability to collect parcels from reception is also extremely helpful and helps to avoid missing deliveries. The laundry facilities are kept within the main building (unlike within university halls), which makes it significantly easier and less awkward to wash your clothes - despite being slightly more expensive. Overall I'd highly recommend the cube based on my time here.
Andy was hilarious, great guy, lots of jokes, gave out vouchers and terrible free drinks. Replaced our over without a word of complaint my way.
Great student accommodation for anyone with a course based on the engineering side of campus.
Great place to stay. The only downside is the location which is also the reason why it is so cheap compared to other accommodation in town. Staff are friendly and if you need help they will be than happy to help. I gave social experience a three, only because of the fact that there was Covid-19 and so it was difficult to host events, however, they tried their best to host and do events while following Govt guidelines.
The cube provide excellent service, always happy to help with a smile if any issues occurs and the rooms are a very comfortable size with a desk bg enough for any work you could need to do.
Close to campus (about 12 minute walk from Holywell Gym and the STEM lab). Friendly staff who are always happy to help. Relatively spacious rooms and great sized kitchen with ample space for everyone in the flat. Would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation off campus- I booked as I didn’t get a self catered room on campus and in the end I am happy I didn’t as the Cube is great :)
The Cube is a great accommodation especially if you are a STEM student, as it I closest to that sides of campus!
Extremely good living conditions, including but not limited to: • Spacious rooms • Spacious kitchen with communal living area • Personal bathroom • Spacious bike storage • Everything is clean, and the kitchen has all the cooking utensils needed. • Everyone has enough space in the kitchen to store their groceries, plates and cutlery • Friendly staff • Pool table Although it is a bit far from the university and the town centre, the location is perfect for the people who like walking.
The cube is a wonderful and exciting place to work and live. I'm an international student that has been here for one whole year and I have gotten all the support I need from the accommodation staff. For those who do engineering its a 10 to 15 min walk to all your building on campus which makes its ideal for those 9ams in the morning, shopping in town is made easy with the FREE bus passes to town centre.
The staff at the cube are very friendly and attentive. The social area/common room has a lot of different activities that can be enjoyed from pool to board games. The location is only 15 minutes away from university too.
Easy and friendly place to live. The staff are amazing and are always helpful. The location is accessible not far from the university with a bus stop outside ans surrounded by nature.
nice place, good value for money.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. The location is not the best but the free bus passes make up for that.
