Honestly surprising how budget friendly this accommodation is, that it still exceeded my expectations. The rooms are comfortable and spacious enough, the staff is always available and super friendly! It offers you everything you need for an affordable price, honestly wouldnt trade this place for another! Location to the campuses and beach and other venturing sites are super convenient which makes socialising so much easier with all these fun places to go to.

The facilities alloted to campuses close by, more than suit the needs for students regardless of which degree they've chosen to study. Vending machines, different types of cafes dotted around, human performance labs and Scientific labs as well as different sizes of lecture theatre, it's own small radio station, probably over two dozen floors of study space across three of its buildings and a gym are to name but a few! Once set up, the WiFi on campus is easy to connect to also.

I wanted to change courses in December of 2022 from ecology to archaeology. I was extremely anxious about this whole process but the staff of both courses, as well as the askbu staff, really helped me sort though this whole process. This encouraged me at a time that I was really struggling and motivated me to really throw myself into uni life again. Overall, the staff and facilities are amazing and I couldn’t imagine myself being anywhere else.

I moved into this accommodation and it was great, lovely staff and residents. Kitchens are very nice and have all the required household appliances. I would definitely recommend moving here as an undergrad. It’s great for the price and location.

The internet, study spaces and library are very useful, especially when studying for exams. There are many societies to choose from and the members have all been inviting and friendly.

I love the campus as it has elements of modern and older buildings. I am on the netball so I enjoy the clubs and societies they have so I’m glad that netball was available here. I haven’t been the the student union that much so I can’t so too much but from what I know it’s very nice in there.
