Foundry Court is an amazing place to live, all the staff are incredibly helpful and kind and friendly and they always get to requests very quickly. It is very close to the Student Center, Harris Building, and Foster which puts it in an ideal spot and I have had no problems with my room at all. The rooms are fairly spacious with a small double bed and the facilities are overall really nice for the cost you are paying. I will definitely be rebooking!

I’ve chosen Foundry as the place to stay since I lived here in second year and it’s gotten better since then. They’ve done work on their social spaces so that it’s a good place to relax with friends or to even study with flatmates in the study spaces.

Great value for money, friendly staff. Don’t bother going anywhere else!!!

Very close to the university, within walking distance. Amazing staff at the reception, so kind and incredibly helpful- highly recommend you stay here for university. Beautiful accommodation for an affordable price. If you ever need a place to stay during uni, foundry is the place! :D
Hi :) thank you so much for the lovely review, we do enjoy getting to know our students and help where we can, we love our refurb too and look forwards to this year with you!!
I've stayed at foundry for my first and second year, and have just rebooked for my final year :) The flats are a really nice size and have an awesome desk, and the price is one of the most affordable in the area. They also have many little events at reception including ice cream and chocolate fountains which I always love to see :D Plus, this year study rooms have been added outside reception and the common room has had a gorgeous revamp!
Hi!! Thank you for the lovely review! We do love a good student expeience event and am glad you enjoy them to :) If you have any suggestions for what you would like to see in the future please let us know we are already working on ideas for the next academic year x
I moved to foundry court for my first year and couldn’t be more impressed, love the fact it’s a double bed and ensuite for only 90 pounds a week, decent living spaces, nice new renovated common room and study areas and the staff are all wonderful, all maintenance requests I’ve had have been sorted in under 48 hours, when I had to move rooms I had the keys within 2 hours of my request, the only thing I would like is possibly more social events and there’s sometimes issues with not having as many washing machines as I’d like for the buildings capacity, but for 90/week it’s amazing value for money, the internet is pretty reliable too, sometimes has its off days but way better than I’d expected hearing other people talk about wifi in their accommodation, can’t really get parcels on the weekend but other than the very few downsides I’ve mentioned it’s a fantastic place to live and would recommend it to any new starting students or someone wanting a new place to live for the year
Thank you for your fantastic review of Foundry Court, we are really pleased that you have been impressed with living here. We are in the process of arranging more social events for the future now that the building work has all been completed. All the best for your future.
Absolutely amazing place to live
Thank you for awesome review, we love having you live with us AB and we hope you enjoy the new communal spaces which will be opening soon!
Great accommodation. Really close to the medical school and everything else is a walk away. Staff are super friendly and I would definitely recommend it
Thank you for your fantastic review, we are really pleased that you are enjoying staying here at Foundry Court :-)
I lived in Foundry Court for my final two years and I wished I found it sooner. You won’t find a more dedicated and caring team of staff who want you to get the best possible experience in student accommodation. The on-site team are always friendly, welcoming and willing to assist you in any way. The common room is a place where you can relax, play games, watch tv and also where social events are held, as well as this the daily freebies as you pass through reception are also an added bonus. The rooms are spacious, well heated and the beds are comfortable and easily fit two people. The en-suite bathrooms are also very good, the showers are powerful! If you’re looking for a student accommodation that cares about you and your time at university, look no further than Foundry Court. (I already miss it dearly)
Wow, this review made us a bit speechless this monday morning, thank you for your review and your kind words. We really do love getting to know you all and try and make it as homely as possible. We will miss you but you are always welcome to pop in for a brew and enjoy the treats out on reception. All the very best for the future x
Such a great environment I’ve been here for 4 years and I love the accommodation! The staff are so friendly and always tend to anything you need, they help with any problems you have! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Thanks ! We have loved having you here and watch you grow, we will miss you but so happy you got your degree and a wonderful new job!! Well done :)
Highly recommend, the staff are amazingly helpful, it’s close to the university so no need to travel a distance. The accommodation has great sized rooms, highly recommend.
Thank you for the lovely review we are so glad you joined Foundry Court family :)
Friendly and supportive staff! Maintenance is always done on time and they go above and beyond for student experience.
Thank you! we do love a bit of student experience onsite and keep an eyeout on Insta (foundrycourt_hfs) for all the new exciting things coming in September !!!!!!
Foundry Court is a really great place to live if you’re going to attend UCLAN. It’s close to the university and the accommodation itself is really great. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful and the rooms are a really great size with en-suites. Highly recommend.
Wow! thank you for the lovely review it means so much to us that you love Foundry as much as we do !
This is a great place with great security that comes every midnight so i can feel safe, as well as being gated and inaccessible without a fob, The staff is also friendly and the flat is absolutely amazing! And clean.
Thank you for this great review, we love having all you guys here at Foundry!
Staff are amazing very friendly feel to the accommodation.
Thank you so much!!
I’ve lived here for a quite a while, I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else, and I can’t express the amount of support I receive on a daily basis. I love the cleanliness of foundry and the staff are always there to make your day that little bit brighter.
Thanks so much, we couldnt imagine you living anywhere else either, never graduate we will miss you too much x
the beautiful ladies in the office are always the highlight of my day, the building has a really homelike feeling to it. it’s a very comfortable environment
Thank you for the kind words, we know who you are and you make our day brighter too!!! :)
Where do I start, Foundry Court has been absolutely amazing. The staff has been so supportive throughout the course of my 3 year stay. The rooms are clean and cozy and are spacious. I've been here throughout the covid pandemic and the staff has handled this difficult situation extremely well. The property location is just a short 2 minute walk from campus. The facilities are fab from social spaces, to top notch WiFi. So if your looking for more than just a room to sleep and study in, look no further than foundry Court.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for staying with us for 3 years! We hope your uni years have been fab and wish you all the best in your career as a photographer we know you will be amazing!
Amazing accommodation! Lovely staff that will sort out any problem you have within seconds. Can’t wait to spend another year here. <3
Thanks! We look forwards to having you stay with us again :)
Amazing accommodation with super friendly staff. I have already rebooked for next year and I plan to come back for my 4th year. Any maintenance problems have been fixed within a very short amount of time (10-50 minutes). Can’t wait to spend another year with Homes for Students and Foundry Court!
Thank you! We are so happy you guys loving Foundry Court, you make this place a real home and community!!
Foundry Court is a great place to live if you’re going to UCLAN, the rooms are cheap and big with each room having an en-suite. The staff are also really helpful and lovely and I am definitely planning on rebooking for my second year.
Thanks so much! We will love having you here for your second year and will be happy to show you the floor plans etc so you can choose a new room if you want a change!
My experience with Foundry Court was really good this year! The staff are very helpful and friendly. After every inconvenience I’ve had the staff sorted it out immediately. I also find it very safe as it is gated. Overall my experience was really good and I really recommend it!
Thnak you for the lovely review! We are so happy you are having a good time :)
I’ve loved living here! The staff are amazing and attentive, they are always happy to chat.
Thank you for your fantastic review, we are very happy that you have loved living here.
I don't know why my previous review was flagged, but this place is a good place to live, It's close to the Uni and in walking distance to the town centre. Social areas are cleaned regularly and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Homes for students have dealt with Covid-19 horrifically. This doesn't help the fact that Foundry Court is one of the worst student accommodations I have stayed at. Mice in the rooms and kitchen, never enough hot water, constant maintenance issues, leaks in the kitchen windows, poor communication, lack of care of financial situations and a terrible postage system. Do NOT book with HFS and do NOT stay at Foundry. Plenty of other student accommodations in Preston which are better and cheaper.
I have lived here for the past year and I am continuing my stay here for the next academic year as well. Really friendly staff who help resolve issues as soon as possible.
A great place to stay, great staff and facilities. Worth the money
Professionally run, friendly, student accommodation. Stayed here for 3 years without any issues. Staff were always ready to help. Maintenance issues were fixed promptly. Highly recommend.
The staff are friendly and are always happy to help. The building is safe and secure and students events are fun. Maintenance is always done promptly. The views are amazing!
Foundry court is well worth the money for the facilities and social space that it offers students
As a first year university student, moving out for the first time seemed pretty daunting. But thanks to the team at Foundry Court the process was made really easy. The rooms are very comfortable and the kitchens include lots of space to store food. Overall had a great experience staying here.
Foundry Court is an amazing place to stay. Friendly staff, social spaces, free WiFi and more. There’s also an amazing maintenance team who will fix your problems with speed and precision.
It is clean and near university. It is not noisy and hall management is very nice.
Thank -you :)
This is a very bad accommodation no hot water all the time at least 3-4 days a week
I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with the hot water please come down to reception and report this please and we will send maintenance up to get this issue resolved. Please accept my apologies that you have had this issue and now we are aware of the issue you are having we will look to resolve it today.
It is a great place it live! It is nice and close to the university campus so it's not far to walk :)
Thank you
Great place to stay while at uni. Conveniently close to university buildings. Friendly staff who are all very welcoming and easily approachable. I've really enjoyed living here for the past 2 years.
Thank You
Great so far and friendly staff
Thank-You
It’s been really good so far! Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Building has great ambiance
Thank-You
Foundry Court is an amazing place to live, all the staff are really nice and friendly and overall it's really good value for money, especially compared to uclan owned accommodation. The social aspects of Foundry court are also really good, everyone here is really nice and you get a real sense of community from being here.
Thank You
Absolutely brilliant place to live. It's really cheap and really big compared to the university's accommodations. Highly recommend. It's a ten minute walk or less to every building and right up the road from the union. Best accommodation in Preston
Thank you
Place is a hidden gem in preston , you get way more for what you pay , by far the best halls I've been in by miles, and I've been in a few. Maintenance are always on top of any requests you put in most of it done in a day or two and sometimes on the same day!! . Management and admin staff are super friendly and will do everything they can to make you feel like you comfortable and enjoy your time. Security is always around so no issues if you get locked out or if you burnt your toast by accident and accidentally waking up your block at 3am Oooppss :). I absolutely recommend this place hand on heart you won't find a better deal for halls in Preston. Will definitely miss everyone when I eventually have to leave although I'm sure they will be glad that I have left
thank you
