Except for the 51 week contract ending 1 night before last day of university, it was a beautiful pace to call home :)

Is there a laundry room for this accommodation, like a washing machine because I did not see one from the pictures on the website? And is the kitchen equipped or are we to come with our pots and the rest?

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.

Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased that you have enjoyed your time at College Drive. I'm sorry your contract has ended a night before your last day of University, the bookings team may be able to help regarding this. Accommodation@ntu.ac.uk Kind regards Julia
College Drive is an on-campus accommodation so it is safe and always under security. There are maintenance checkups done which is great. The place is perfect for a PG student and quite peaceful to study and focus on your own work.
Thank you for your kind comment.
Purple Frog is an estate agency that me and my friends were renting a house. Unfortunately the organisation was really poor and the property in a bad state. I would recommend doing a research of an agency before or getting a accommodation from uni.
Thank you for your comments. We do not deal with private agencies for students rentals. All students,not just first year students, are able to book NTU accommodation for the whole duration of your studies. We have rooms and flats suitable for over 21s, Postgraduates and mature students. For more infomation please contact the bookings team on accommodation@ntu.ac.uk
My only problem living here is that the people in-charge never cares about students' complaints. When you ask them for repairing something that the students are provided from the university for personal use, they make you go round in circles. I have been told by other students not to bother complaining to them. Even the Student's Union does nothing to help. There is bumbledom everywhere and NTU is no exception.
I am sorry to hear you have experienced some issues with your College Drive accommodation. We have an on-site maintnenace team to address faults that are reported. Can you please e-mail brackenhurstaccommodation@ntu.ac.uk more details to enable us to improve the student journey. Try contacting the Students Union on the following link and I am sure they can help with your other campus concerns Support & advice @ Nottingham Trent Students' Union
