The Forge

The rooms in The Forge are spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable and there is plenty of desk space. The kitchen appliances all function well and the onsite facilities such as gym and laundry room make living there easier.

Amazing location. The best halls for social life. The furniture in the lounge area was a bit outdated. Very friendly staff in reception.

It was close to uni so that was nice! It had nice facilities within the halls: gym, pool table and a table tennis, it had a Social area but no one really used it. Washing and dryer was expensive and it could be included in the price of the rent. They had a cleaner that didn't really clean and the door handles would break

Great location near the both campuses and city centre. Facilities are good, ok sized rooms and bathrooms. Kitchens get cleaned every 2 weeks which is nice. Social experience is good as there's always people around as it's so big but can be loud sometimes but it's not too bad. Room temperate can vary as found it's very cold sometimes so defo invest in your own heater

The forge is a great place to live whether you are a fresher or 2nd/3rd year. The staff are super friendly and the accommodation is well kept. It is really secure and with aldi next door it is conveniently located. It is also only a few minutes from The Moor and 15 minute walk from both campuses

The forge is good for socialising with different people, it is nice and central for either city or colligeate student which is useful. London Road is situated next to the forge and has loads of lovely restaurants!

The forge provides a decent sized room with a modern-styled kitchen. Everyone seems to know each other here and has more of a community vibe than the other accommodations I've visited. The security are always willing to help you out and have a chat, and the receptionists are lovely and try their best to get to know you as individuals. So far it's been great here.

The location is good because it is across the way from Aldi and is situated between the city and collegiate campus. The city centre is only a 15 minute walk away which is also useful. The facilities are ok. I have had issues in my flat they have been more or less fixed now. The social experience has been good because it has been easy to talk and make friends to people, especially in my flat. Due to the large size of the forge, it has also been easy to make more friends. The room is a good size.

The forge is an okay halls of residence, most of the people in your blocks do similar subjects at uni so you can meet a lot of people and the location and nightlife is excellent. however, we had a few issues at the start in our block such as no hot water, then no water in general and showers not working, appliances breaking, etc. But with it being the biggest accommodation I can understand why it would be harder to fix all the problems as soon as possible with them only having a small maintenance team. For your first year the forge is a good accommodation for meeting people and going out, I'm personally unsure whether I'd recommend living here to anyone because of the issues we've had in our flat. However, the other blocks surrounding the main reception seem to have had little to no issues!

Modern, reasonably priced halls. The forge is in an ideal location in between the two campuses and with close shops. The rooms are spacious with a 3/4 bed. The Forge itself are a little slow when it comes to fixing things for example our fridge took 3 weeks before we got a new one.

My room was quite cold and “ran down”. There were ongoing maintenance issues all year. But, in terms of the size of the room, I was quite pleased as I had enough space to make it my own “home”. The accommodation itself was great; a free gym onsite, a great relaxing area, laundry facilities and it’s super close to local supermarkets and the university itself.

Room was spacious and once I had all my own things up, it was very cosy. The location was close to the city centre, yet just outside which meant it was in a quiet area. I am happy to say I have enjoyed my time there.

The room was great with good heating and en suite however it is expensive and my loan did not cover the cost. The forge was not one of my 2 choices to live and I had applied for cheaper ones which is disappointing. It was near my campus and the ALDI but not too near to town which meant having to pay for taxis in stead of walking. The communal area and grass was lovely however I think there could have been some organised activities during freshers as I was in a block far away from the others so I did not meet that many people from other blocks.

The forge is a ten minute walk from both collegiate and city campus. It has an Aldi across the road which is great for students

Location is great for both campuses, directly in the middle of the two! Is a large accommodation so it’s easy to make friends with people in the same flat and surrounding flats! Also bound to find people on the same course as you living there! Great facilities, gym, common room, laundry room etc and great staff and security.

The halls are safe and secure and offer many events and complimentary drinks and snacks. The parcel system is also very handy

The forge is in a great location, equal distance to both uni campuses. Sits next to London road so easy access to takeaways and restaurants.

I love the forge definitely the place if you want to party. Made so many good friends as its so social. The rooms are bigger than I expected and are of good quality. The maintenance however is a bit of a let down, there have been multiple times in the past few months when weve been without water due to several different issues. And the construction opposite is very loud from 8am. But i dont know one person who doesnt wish the were at the forge because its were everythings at. Aldi is also a big benefit as it is so close and cheap. Perfect for a student. Reception also makes it very easy to have things delivered as it will notify you on the accommodation app when something has arrived for you. Always very exciting

It's pretty good. Àaajshshshshshhshshshsbshshbshshshshshsbsushsbsbsbdudjsnabdidnshdhdbsjsndbdjsisospsodjbdbfhdushdhdbdjudud dhdidudjsnsjdidhsnsndidj

Lovely place to live, very social living area with really nice facilities and friendly staff. Love my room and the flat itself, really spacious and provided with good equipment.

Location is great, 15 minute walk from the university and surrounded by shops. Good for a football fan as it's a short walk to Bramall Lane. My room is decent, a few problems with the bathroom but nothing major. Nice and comfortable, keeps very warm during the winter too. My flatmates are foreign so it hasn't been a great experience with being sociable, I try my best but it proves difficult when they don't speak English well. Youre alerted to any news or problem as soon as possible which is great, ive also been locked out of my room at one time and the response time from the help team was great. Rent pricing is acceptable. Overall, it's good and I recommend it to others.

Kitchen area is very good, room is reasonable size but big enough, great location being so close to supermarkets and not too far from the pubs and clubs.

The forge is great. There’s plenty to do there with a gym, games activities and outside areas to hang around with friends. The staff there are also great and I’ve with any issues I’ve had they have helped solve them as soon as they could.

Great location near both campuses and city centre too. Very social and great for parties/ nights out
