But Limelight doesn’t stop at your room. It’s stacked with facilities that make you want to hang out at home just as much as you do out in the city. The communal lounges are basically designed for making new mates without even trying, and the cinema room makes “Netflix and chill” a group event. On-site gyms mean you can work off late-night pizza or simply pretend you’re balancing out student lifestyle choices.
Bills? All-inclusive. Wi-Fi? Lightning-fast. Safety? Covered with 24/7 staff, secure entry, and CCTV so your mum can stop texting about whether your door locks properly.
