Norfolk Terrace

The social aspect is great; I live with 13 other people and it's good in that sense because it means there's loads of characters to get to know. But the state of the accommodation is pretty crappy. The walls in my room are peeling with paint; the thin carpets in rooms are stained; there's virtually no storage in the room bar a few drawers under the bed, and there are pipes in the wardrobe which make a ton of noise every time someone turns on the water in their rooms for even a second. The walls are also pretty thin so when people are partying in the kitchen or in their rooms you can hear it even when you're far away. The bathrooms are actually good - the showers have really good pressure and the floors are raised so it doesn't leak everywhere which I know is a problem in other people's accommodation on campus. The kitchen is pretty small bearing in mind there's 14 people sharing it; the table and benches can just about seat 8. There's no communal social area. The location is very central so I love it. The WiFi is appallingly weak.
