Most helpful review
The rooms are a little small, but for a student they are good, one of the greatest benefits are that a Unilink pass is given with the accommodation so you can go anywhere in the city without worrying about spending too much in transport. The laundry is also included in the price so it is also a good plus.

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.
Read Wessex Lane Complex Reviews
Room was pretty spacious. Shared bathroom was cleaned once a week so it was clean. Kitchen could have been cleaner but that was mainly due to issues with flatmates.
would definitely recommend very homely
Overall a wonderful place to be. Quiet, peaceful environment with outstanding members to help at a moment’s notice.
Standard uni accommodation, although the price has gone up more recently
Close to University, away from town centre, very convenient
The rooms are a little small, but for a student they are good, one of the greatest benefits are that a Unilink pass is given with the accommodation so you can go anywhere in the city without worrying about spending too much in transport. The laundry is also included in the price so it is also a good plus.
For Standard Shared Bathroom: Overall very pleased, staff are very helpful and reception is open 24/7. Rooms are a decent size although vary massively.Plenty of storage space and a huge desk. Bus service included with all halls and conveniently connect Wessex with Highfield campus and the city centre. Toilets and Kitchen regularly cleaned by staff. Never experienced and silverfish although I have heard differently for En-Suite accomodation at Wessex. Only downsides are the lack of sinks in the toilets, only one shower and two toilets between 7, no full length mirror, and the terrible Wi-Fi not helped by low service which can be frustrating at times. Overall however a very positive experience, the small inconveniences are definately worth the £40 saved over upgraded accom.
The bedroom was adequate and was fairly large with good storage and a very useful long desk. The bed was hard and uncomfortable and it took a while to get used to it. The kitchen had all the essentials however it felt quite run down and in need of renovation. The table was positioned in one corner of the room where there was not enough space for it making it awkward to access. Space was also an issue where if there were an more than 2 people using the kitchen at one time you always seemed to be in each others way. In Wessex Lane you are quite isolated from the clubs and shops however there are efficient bus links that can get you to campus, the sports ground and the city center. The nearest shops are a couple minutes walk and are on the way to the main campus.
Absolutely awful maintenance team, all the building have had water problems, definitely would not recommend if you’re looking for warm showers cus its not gonna happen 👎🏼
Rat poo on kitchen floor. No hot water for a couple weeks. Drinking water was often lukewarm. Great socially though. No sinks in toilets. One shower between 7.
Generally, good wifi but my room has poor wifi. Plugged in with ethernet I get 1GBps though. Unfortunately, I have terrible untidy roommates who do drugs. I can hear my roommate having sex every night it really affects my mental health. Sound insulation should be better.
Don't come to Wessex Lane if you hate silverfish and bad wifi. Other than that, it's aight
this is for connaught halls which is a catered older building to one side of wessex complex. food choices good, social spaces excellent, rooms reasonable size, shared sink acceptable, showers toilets shared ok. excellent for not having to worry about cooking too much in first year
000000 stars, I couldn't believed what I seen. They are not habitable !!! One kitchen for 21 rooms and only 3 toilets, unbelievable bad and you still have to pay money for. Refugees will never accepted this type of accommodation, but home undergraduate home student have to. It's not faire.... Very upsetting
was good overall, settled in very well and everybody there was nice.
Building quite old, needs some refurbishment
My halls are really nice and sociable but they're a million miles from all the bars
Great value for money - especially with the free bus pass which gets you all around town! Nice staff in general and very very sociable due to the large flat sizes. Not too far from uni but not walkable to the city centre which is a shame. Also there are not many social spaces unless it is sunny and the grassy areas outside can be used. There is a bar but I've only seen it open 3 times ever...

Nice halls but in need of renovation. Far from the city center on the one hand, but close to univerity campus on the other. People from residential services- helpful, problems like something in need of repair- tackled quick. Social life was quite enjoyable during freshers' but got a little too much as the year went by and workload kept getting greater. Too noisy from time to time.
