Pretty much the best one in Manchester and with the rising cost of living it’s a good deal on rent

Biggest regret is living in iQ. It is not worth the overpriced inflated cost to live here and I live in the cheapest room. There’s a rat and spider problem where it’s infested with them, you get silverfish time to time, the ventilation in the bathroom is terrible to the point you will have mould growing from the lack of it. The place may look nice but it’s made out of cheap materials and so it degrades very easily. The kitchen is decent however you have no say about your flatmates, and my experience with them has been the worst, they don’t clean up after themselves and always leave a mess and my stuff tend to disappear. The service in reception is good however I have complained in the app abt a drainage issue bc the draining is awful and they should’ve sent for repair but they sent me an email saying it has been done and nothing has been fixed. Another thing to warn is there have been two occasions where staff have just opened my door with no warning, no email. This should not be allow

The rent is too high for students. The amenities and resources do not match the price.

I think that the heating should have a longer timer as the rooms get very cold. Longer heating for the timer.

Management are amazing. The cleanliness and rats are a huge problem. IQ have been made aware of this and we have been compensated however the issue isn’t resolved. The kitchens were not clean at all when we moved in. Our freezers were full of the food from residents that lived there last year and were not emptied out until at least a week after we moved in. The ovens and cupboards we cleaned ourselves using our own cleaning products which cost us a lot. Although IQ said not to clean them and that they would clean them themselves, we needed to use the ovens to cook so we cleaned them ourselves. When IQ came to clean them, they replaced the racks and didn’t clean the areas that we couldn’t clean. We spent the full day cleaning the rooms and kitchens as they were horrifically dirty when we moved in. The toilets had limescale all round the bottom of the toilet which again, I spent money on buying products to clean them. I was not compensated for the cleanliness and was disatisfied

I lived there for three years of my uni life and I’ve loved every second of it. Minus a few noisy neighbours.

I have stayed at iQ student Quarter for three years now, and none have been bad. The rooms are simple and provide all the amenities you would expect for a decent-rate student room. The communal spaces in each flat provide excellent space to relax and get to know your flatmates. The staff here work hard to ensure that students are provided for, live in a clean environment and are safe. Multiple social events are planned by the administration team and you can expect to have loads of fun during them! The only downside I can highlight is that the rooms tend to get dusty quite quickly.

IQ was good enough for me to stay for two academic years so that goes to show the overall experience.

Very happy with this accommodation, the staff and others that live here are fantastic and very friendly. It's a very welcoming place with good facilities and is a short walk from Salford Uni and Peel Park. Wi-Fi can be spotty at times but that is usually at peak hours and all of the kitchens look onto the accommodation which is very ideal.
