Broadgate Park

Fantastic location opposite the university west entrance and on the edge of Beeston. Great 24hour links into the city centre by bus or tram. Put on a lot of events such as christmas fayre, easter hunt, christmas and easter balls, chinese new year etc. Rooms variable in soze depending on what block you are assigned but all reasonable: I was very lucky and got given a very large room. Reception staff are always friendly and helpful, even during the early hours of the morning!

As a fussy eater, broadgate Park was my only option. I must say I think it is really bad that all the on campus catered halls don’t have a proper kitchen as well. But broadgate was still in a good location, plus you had much more flexibility and freedom which was the best bit. However it was definitely much harder to mingle and meet people.

Broadgate Park is an amazing place to be for student halls! As it is one of the biggest student halls in England it has so many residents, which is great when being first year as you want to get to know as many people as you want. The cleaners, on-site staff and receptionists are all so friendly and incredible. Being part of a flat instead of a studio has been amazing as you become so close to the people in your flat and really do have a fun day to day life whilst being at uni!

Great location for Uni park campus, with easy transport links to the city centre. The biggest halls so always very busy which can be a positive and negative- there are always people around but it can get noisy.

reasonable price, good location and facilities, wifi cuts sometimes and social spaces could be improved.

Standard room was pretty small and there was no living room, the only place to have pres was at a small breakfast bar in the kitchen which couldnt fit more than 4 comfortably. Good set of people to live with though and close to shops, easy to get to town, slightly further away from lectures than other halls

Very sociable area, easy to get to know and meet people. The broadgate team run the winter formal which is great, good value for money as well. Unfortunately I live in lower court which isn’t anywhere to the same standard as main broadgate (even though you pay the same price. We have smaller rooms and kitchens, and the quality of these rooms are to a much lower standard

Good location, good reception and overall convencience. Poor social aspect, only a tiny tiny common room which considering the amount of students living there is far too small. No where to socialise with more than about 5 people as no living spaces so difficult to integrate friendship groups and therefore hugely limits friendships. However good committee organising formals etc.

Rooms were clean and kitchens a good size. Often had Silverfish infestations. A lot of money per week for what it is - I had one of the newer ensuite rooms. WiFi was okay- sometimes a little slow. The social side of things was good due to the amount of people on site.

Cheap and okay sized rooms. No tv or lounge space and the kitchen doesn't have a proper table but you learn to live with it. Great for first years but probably not the best for returners. The office is always open and living in Lower Court means it's a bit quieter (if you want it to be!) and you get to know your whole block. An okay experience I guess! 5 min from Westgate entrance and 15 from Tesco. Tram stop so close so great for nights out. If you have more money go for the large room. You get a huge room and there are 2 good sized bathrooms between 5 people which is a really great living standard....arguably better than an ensuite I guess because you get the flat experience too!:)

The rooms are smaller than other accomodation on Broadgate Park, and depending on whereabouts lecture are it can take a lot longer to walk to lectures. However the common areas are quite nice and so is there library (but can get very busy considering the size of it and the amount of students). The tutor team/reception are helpful and put on events. Being self catered is flexible which is good and judging by friends the meals in catered aren’t great. But the fact that meals aren’t in dining halls means that you don’t meet as many new people in halls.

The location is good for some subjects, but for me was a long way from a lot of lectures. Facilities are very good, my room is just opposite laundry room. broadgate shop is overpriced

Good I really liked it. Did exactly what I wanted. Not too much money yes hello got to get to 100 characters lol

Okay for the price i suppose but the kitchen in standard room flats is much too small with no proper seating area. Also lots of the older blocks have silverfish living in the floor.

Broadgate park is a huge accommodation, which means some blocks are nicer than others and people with the same room type could have completely different types of flat. Since it is private, they invest a lot of money into the student experience so we get amazing balls for £10 instead of £50, free pizza/Chinese all the time, free yoga and salsa lessons etc. And they put on plenty of social events. Plus they have reception and maintenance 24 hours per day and if anything goes wrong it gets fixed really quickly. The rooms are nice, could be a bit bigger (you can pay extra for a huge room with a double bed). Our kitchen is very small and we only have a breakfast bar with stools not a proper table which I hate, but we each get a lot of cupboard and fridge space. Where I live it’s very quiet but some parts are noisy due to the main road. From broadgate to the other side of campus is a half an hour walk. The WiFi isn’t great, there are two networks but they’re both quite slow. My flat is always warm which is so nice and we have a cleaner who does the kitchen and bathrooms once a week which a lot of accommodations don’t have.

Broad gate park was a lovely and safe place to live. I was very lucky to have such nice flat mates and the halls often had socials which was really nice. The kitchen and actual flat was a bit small as I had a standard room but it was quite cheap and so rather expected. It was annoying how it was off campus but it still wasn’t too far a walk to Trent building and Portland.

The staff is all really nice and attentive, there are so many activities year-round for everyone to get involved in, such as free yoga classes or cook-outs. There is an amazing library right by reception which offers students a place to study and have quiet areas.

Location is good, being close to campus and bus stops etc. Shop comes in handy as well. Price is good but you get what you pay for as the rooms, kitchen and flat in general are tiny.

Broadgate Park was a good location close to campus, with a regular £1 bus service running to town including nights out. This was reliable as there were 3 different bus services passing broadgate park. There was a small shop onsite which always had a good stock if you were out of food as well as a cafe which was opened for most of the day. The cafe also served cheap full fry ups which were useful after a night out. Across the road there is is the Florence boot hall field which was a good area to play football or chill in the warmer months of the year. Rooms were fairly spacious however the beds were not too comfortable. Kitchen areas were too small for amount of people in a flat.

10 minute walk to campus. Bus stop outside to take you to town. 10 minute walk into Beeston where there is a large tesco, Lidl, Sainsbury's. Lots of charity shops Stayed in coppers in 2015-16 Small room but good price Shared 2 bathrooms between 7 people Friendly with everyone in the block Washing was £2 every time and £1 to dry, 30 second walk from block. It was busy at the weekends. There were free food opertunities such as for Chinese New year and Christmas. Very clean, friendly and convenient place to live.

I was in lower court which was not security guarded and fenced off as advertised. The kitchen was tiny and not all 5 of us could fit in it or eat at the same time. It was expensive for what you got. Our common room was a 10 minute walk away.

Location is fantastic, 5 minute walk from campus (perfect if you’re studying humanities). Large student village so lots of social opportunities. En suite showers are tiny though! Kitchens are spacious and full of all amenities needed. Expensive!!!

Expensive for what you get. Ensuite halls are nicer. Not very well organised socials. Reception really efficient and helpful, maintenance comes fast and sorts issues fast. Overall enjoyed the year
