Mary Sturge

The location of this campus accommodation is very convenient. It is a short walk away from the university and the city centre. There are a few essential stores on campus, Tesco and Ryman's. In addition there are some food and coffee shops too, Greggs, Costa, Wok & Go, and soon a Rio's Chicken shop. There are cleaners that come to clean the kitchen too. If you are looking for an accommodation to meet other students and enjoy the benefits of a vibrant city this is the accommodation for you. There is a shuttle service to First Love Aston on Sundays too, if you are looking for a youthful vibrant fellowship!

The location of Mary Sturge to the main buildings on campus was unbeatable, only a three to five min walk. I lived on the 17th floor and the view was incredible, although noise definitely still traveled that high from the street, quite loudly, but that’s to be expected in a city. The room sizes were adequate, bathrooms were small but functional, and plenty of desk space. Outlets were limited to the desk area, not located elsewhere in the room. The other three blocks of Mary Sturge were undergraduate, which was a bit irritating as a postgraduate student, but unavoidable. Laundry facilities had changes to method of payment halfway through which caused some problems but were fixed in a few weeks.

It was a good hall! Rooms are spacious & kitchen is a nice size. Would help if they had a tv and sofa in the kitchen tho.

I found that living here was convenient in several ways, starting from how close the actual university is to my accommodation, making it easy to travel to my lectures on a day to day basis. Also the convenience of how close it is the city centre, where I can do all my shopping and etc.

Mary Sturge has a very good view if facing outside towards the courtyard. The rooms are a decent size and is a pretty clean area to live in. It is 5 mins away from the city centre which is convenient.
