Social experience is fantastic but the accommodation itself Js dates and often musty or dirty. The feeling of a close community is very nice.

While the room and facilities were sufficient, there were regular issues with the showers in particular. Then entire site is in need of modernisation. On reflection, having a sink in the room would have been beneficial, but 2 toilets and 2 showers between 7 people was okay. The cold drab aura of the kitchen made it a less than ideal environment for social interaction and so striking up friends was slightly difficult with no real comfortable communal space. A short walk to the bus stop, and then 15 minutes to Singleton or 45 to Bay campus. WiFi often iffy.

On the social side this is certainly the place to be on campus. It’s nice to have a “home” to go to rather than living on either of the campuses. However, it’s nicknamed “poverty” as a lot of the facilities are run down and frequently don’t actually work. For instance running water.

If travelling to Singleton campus and the national pool it’s perfcet however travelling to bay campus is very long. It’s like a little community here and you get to know a lot of people from different blocks. The rooms are not too bad they are a good size however sharing a bathroom can be a bit challenging if you like your own space.

Decent for nightlife but no water or internet because of the building works made it really difficult to live there

Best place to meet friends for life, together in the face of adversity and lack of running water! The student village was full of fascinating characters that made my uni experience so enjoyable.

Security (tony) is very rude and intimidating, fire alarms go off when people are being ill from the flu and in the cold for 50 minutes at least, bathroom smells and leaks and poor stand of living. Very good with the bus pass and the homely feeling but overy all feel like a child in boarding school also can go days without water or wifi

It is quite cheap going here. All the furniture and appliances seem to be the cheapest available. The location is not bad in relation to the singleton campus. The staff are very friendly and cleaners do a decent job. All in all not bad band for your buck

The rooms are too small, and there is not good social space, needs to be a common room. The social side is great but this could be added with the additional social events

Was an amazing experience in a social sense, as everyone is so close and all staff are so friendly, however the accomodation (shared house between 10) was pretty dire, had a non working shower for 8 months, and only one oven and one small fridge between 10 people, good job it's been knocked down now!

Good location, as on bus route to everything. Development work caused issues with wifi, water and electricity but was resolved within practical time

The living conditions is poor compared to bay campus however I feel you are getting an actual student experience with it and the social life is a lot better. Though is very far from bay campus and you have to get a bus everywhere

Location is fine because we got a free bus pass this year. Had there been no bus pass it would have been frustrating as it’s quite far from the actual University. You get what you pay for really. I don’t regret choosing it. It’s very cheap and you get a decent sized kitchen, decent sized bed and room and an alright bathroom. They’re not looked after to the best standard, but the reception staff are very helpful and friendly.

Was a 30 min walk from campus but good bus services. Cheapest accommodation and had lots of students. Good size facilities for amount of students and decent size room.

The location is a bit out of the way for everything which isn't the best, but this year we get a free bus pass which is essential. The rooms are okay, but the kitchens vary drastically depending on the size of flat. The social aspect is good and you meet many people who are all welcoming.
