" This accommodation is literally in the campus, 5-10 minutes from lecture halls, which is just amazing. I lived in a flat with other 5 people - all rooms are en suite which I appreciated a lot! However, the kitchen is big enough to fit so many people, with only one cooker and two very small fridges (no allowance to have a small fridge in the bedroom). Plus the alarm goes off every other weekend which was very frustrating... "

" Quays is a really nice place with en-suite bathrooms and it is relatively close to Tesco. It is usually quite compared to other accommodations but still not too far away from campus although the bridge that you need cross everyday to get to the uni from there is the worst thing ever. "
