I think that Windsor House is a glorified Hughenden Park Student Village. There's not much different apart from the furniture (Same amount of stuff) In the ensuite, the shelves above the desk are very short so good luck trying to fit a TV under there. The bed doesn't move in Windsor like it does in Hughenden.. and the storage space in Windsor one is just awkward (You lift the mattress and open the bed) Social aspect? Not very good, there isn't really a communal area apart from the smoking area which is useless unless you smoke, I guess? There is a little lounge bit in the kitchen but sometimes you want to be away from your own flat, so. The guest policy is a bit strict considering that we are all university students. Guests can only stay for two nights and have to sign in before 10pm. I think as long as they are behaved then it should be a bit more relaxed? (After COVID of course) Internet is awful, we are on Optify and get an average of 2mbps Download and Upload.

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.

Really nice halls, would recommend
Amazing bunch of people, security are really friendly. Close to the university and nightlife. It's expensive, but for all you get for it, it's well valued. It is secure, as only one way in, and is very quiet. Wifi is fast as it has been taken over by an independent company now. Modern and clean. Washing facilities are plenty for the 75 people who live there
Best bunch of people I've ever met
It's really expensive
