Accommodations were smaller than I’m used to but perfectly adequate for a university student
I loved living in a big flat, as it meant out of the big group, you are bound to find your people. For me I made a really close group with six people, if I was in a smaller flat then who knows if I’d get on with all six, but this worked really well for me. It’s super social and a great location, in my opinion it’s the best option for a reasonable price and great social life! I love my time at Sandby
Best place for first years, staff are helpful with any situation, really enjoyed my stay here and would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys social settings. Location is amazing and facilities in the accommodation are great!
Lovely space and great location! However a lot of money considering sharing a kitchen with 28 people… Not what I expect from student housing since it should be affordable. Great quick service with repairs though! Only problem is cleanliness in kitchen
Living in student halls has been such a fun and memorable part of my university experience. It made it so easy to meet people and build friendships, especially during the first few weeks. There was always someone around to chat with, cook dinner together or just hang out after class. Being so close to everything like lectures, the library and the city was really convenient. The shared spaces made it feel like a little community. It definitely helped me feel more settled and supported, especially in a new environment.
Was ideal location 5 minutes from the uni, 24/7 security, cheap
Came with problems but we're easily sorted, could be cheaper for what we get but the social life is great
Perfect budget accommodation, and made it very easy to make friends with such a big flat. The kitchen turned into our social area and was a place where we could sit and enjoy eachothers company. The staff in the building were helpful but often took a while to reply to issues. Location is absolutely perfect being a 1 minute walk away from the student union and in walking distance of the library and other university buildings.
The halls were great value for money, regularly cleaned, the kitchens as the social spaces did feel small and not the best place to hang out however there was plenty of events held and the wifi was fast.
A really good community in Sandby, with all the people that can be met, the location is perfect for my course as it requires very little commuting. All the facilities do the job and the only downside is that a couple of the receptionists are consistently grumpy.
Cheapest uni owned accom on campus with an en suite - but if you're not bothered about an en suite then you can get much better value for money in others. Kitchen is pretty small considering you're sharing with 10-11 others but the cleaner does come once a week. Very social and security at all times but no locks between different flats so other people can go into your kitchen and corridor. Also we found out that one of the doors leading into the accom was broken all year so anyone could come in but we didnt have any issues till later on.
I loved my time living in halls and I wouldn't have changed it!
Sandby accommodation may not seem like the best option, but it contains all the necessity's which is basically the same as byron and hampden building, but it is the best value for money. If you really like to go crazy during the whole year for the nightlife, I do suggest going to hampden, They are known to be another breed of people for it. Byron is so expensive, and we have found that they have everything the same but just a little nicer, but as a student I found that it isn't worth that extra bit of money just for accommodation. Living in sandby can seem like a lot living with 25 other people, but with 2 kitchens and the fact that not everyone is in there and cooking it won't feel like it's a lot.
Good halls for the price but they’re nothing special.
Great halls and best place to meet a lot of people. Roughly 20 people on each floor makes it very sociable and occasionally loud (not a bad thing for most)
