“Friendly community, easy to settle in”
The building looks great and the amenities are a step above what I expected. A couple of small maintenance delays early on, but nothing major and they were sorted in the end.

Lived here for two semesters and made some of my closest friends. The social events are easy to join if you want them and easy to skip if you do not. Study rooms are genuinely useful when the library is full.

- On the expensive side
- WiFi slows during exams
