Comfy enough room if you can handle a single bed. It's not the most modern looking uni accom out there but it's cozy and not cramped at all considering the price. you get a desk lamp, desk bins, bathroom bins, plunger provided. small wardrobe but extra storage underneath the mattress. Kitchen's an ok size but don't believe the bs about fridge space, you only get 2 mini-fridges and two mini- freezers between 8 people, 3 shelves each fridge- incredibly frustrating most times and its very easy to twist the knob on them to adjust fridge temperatures, so we got frozen food alot! Kitchen gets cleaned once a week and bins get changed regularly. Distance from central campus is pretty good, ~7 mins walking. Social spaces include Park lounge and park eat/bar 2 min walk away with the wash room being inside park lounge. Internet in halls are super fast surprisingly. Ziggy the cat likes hanging around greenow and mccombie alot, so just be prepared to bring some cat treats and catnip :)
Silverfish coming out of the tap, bathroom small and mouldy not a wet room but should be due to design bathroom floods, noisy
Central accommodation, close to amenities
Greenow House is nothing too special but it is very close of the University amenities and facilities being roughly ten minutes away from most of the key areas.
Mccombie is a decent accommodation. It’s smaller than others but you can still get to know a lot of people. It’s close to park bar which is good, and only a short walk to centre of campus
If you want an en-suite that’s on campus and is not too expensive, this is the best hall you can choose. The only downside is that it’s not the easiest hall to meet other people not in your flat, however, you are a two minute walk from park bar so if you like that kind of thing then that more than makes up for the lack of social space. The rooms are a decent size and the kitchen is great, I definitely made the right choice of halls!
I highly recommend these halls. It’s smaller than others such as Mackinder which gave it much more of a community feel as we got to know lots of people in the building. The halls is located near Park Bar (a one minute walk), it’s close enough to be easy to get to but far enough that you can’t hear it. The rooms are modern and between 8 people you get 2 ovens and 3 fridges which is a really good amount of space in the kitchen. I loved living here and think it’s the best halls on campus!!
Smaller halls but still very social
Good facilities and cleaning, good location on campus
The halls are very modern and spaceous. Our kitchen gets cleaned most days and our bins are emptied for us as well. There are many social spaces but as they seperate the two kitchens from the main social place it makes it hard to socialise. The location is lovelg but it’s the massive hill that we have to walk up daily that lets it down. But there is pretty much everything we need on sight such as; fitness room, shop, social space, computer room and a laundrette
Pretty decent rooms and bathrooms. The kitchen is shared between 9-10 people, you usually have a lot of space, 2 freezers and 3 fridges. Great value for money. A load of storage, you can fit everything in, and comes with underbed storage also. Location is amazing, super close to almost every facility that you'll need, and also close to many of the other halls (which makes for a great social life). Park bar is right around the corner, and you can't hear any noise coming from it. Halls hotline means that your problems get logged and fixed within a week, and noise complaints from outside can be rectified in a matter of mins. Wifi is also really good too, no issues with it so far
A bit run down. Small bed but you get good storage a dishwasher.
The accommodation should be cheaper. The kitchen should be updated to have 2 sinks. More shelving or extra pin-board in rooms would be helpful.
Being one of the smaller halls allowed me to make friends with several other flats and created a real sense of community.
