Amelia Lall
Nice building and location. Unfortunately my studio hob has been broken for over 6 months and despite repeated requests since November it's still not been fixed. A shame considering how much the room is and I haven't been able to cook properly for over half my tenancy. Months later the hob was changed but the new one doesn't work either and still doesn't work to this day. Very disappointing and no financial compensation either despite a major part of my studio not working.

Choosing to live here has been one of the best parts of my university experience. It’s in such a convenient area for students, and the overall environment is really enjoyable. The building feels cosy and well organised, with great communal areas and spacious rooms that make everyday living easy.
mia hague
living here has been such a good experience. everything feels really new and modern, and there’s always a great atmosphere around the building. it’s easy to meet other students because the social spaces are always busy and well looked after. my room has loads of space, and the location couldn’t be better since it’s only a short walk to both northumbria and newcastle university. the staff have also been so kind and supportive.
