What students say
Uri Quadros
It's been 6 months into my stay with Kendrick Halls and honestly I love the location of the accommodation. It is situated at such a good walking distance for all my necessities such as town centre. I love the view my room has to offer as well as the other perks that the accommodation gives– the courtyard where my favourite feature is the well maintained fish pond, the cosy reception which is always stocked with hot water and cups to help yourself to a tea or coffee. I also wanted to comment on the hospitality showcased by the Kendrick Hall team, which on the whole has been a positive experience to some extent. I want to commend Maria in particular since she's been nothing but helpful since day one and it's been a joy to be getting to know her. She always goes out of her way to help me, whether that be helping me move heavy groceries or asking me about my day with a smile and demeanour that can brighten any dull day!. Her hard work does not go unnoticed and is very much appreciated! The only hiccup I had with staff was when it came to paying my early instalments of rent. I experienced a stern knock, with two members of staff at my door (which I thought was unnecessary) Asking to meet me in the kitchen to discuss rent. I was questioned as to why I hadn't paid. I pay in instalments and I was under the impression that rent had to be paid on the 14th of every month but I misunderstood and rent is always due on the 1st of the month. I voiced this misunderstanding and in response– I felt like I got a very scripted response. I was told that they'd have to escalate the situation if rent wasn't paid in the next few days. I can vividly recall the day that this all went down and this situation definitely heightened my anxiety on this day that wasn't already going well to say the least. After the interaction (I was shaken up the whole situation made me feel unnecessarily anxious and made it out to be that I had done something wrong.) I immediately tried to resolve the rent payment but was faced with issues with the portal you have to pay via. I tried several times but encountered the same technical issue. I went to reception with screenshots and was told a bank transfer was the most viable option and that the details for the bank transfer would be emailed to me. I didn't receive that email, but made sense of it all and set up a direct debit. Moral of the story for any future residents- just remember to pay your rent on time or else you'll have a not so friendly Kendrick Hall staff at your door!

I couldn’t recommend Kendrick Hall enough! If you’re looking for student accommodation, this is definitely the place to be. The staff are genuinely some of the kindest and most supportive people you’ll meet. They always go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and create such a friendly atmosphere. One of my favourite things was the free breakfasts and pizza nights. They were such a great way to take a break from studying, enjoy some free food, and meet new people. Kendrick Hall also puts on loads of fun games and social events throughout the year, so there’s always something happening. I actually met most of my closest friends at one of the breakfast events, and I’m so grateful for that. The community here makes it so easy to settle in, especially if you’re moving away from home for the first time. If you want the best student experience, with amazing staff, a welcoming community, and plenty of opportunities to make lifelong friends, I honestly can’t think of a better place than Kendrick Hall. I’d recommend it to any future student without hesitation!

The staff are very helpful and the accommodation is very relaxing. Devinder helped me check in seamlessly on the weekend and provided me with a lot of information about doing things in reading. The only issue I have with the accommodation is the lack of toilet brush in the toilet and bin in rooms. However other students stay here for longer (I’m there temporarily for med school placement) and would likely get these items - it’s worth flagging this for temporary residents though.

Kendrick Hall is a really great place to live as a student. The accommodation is has a really nice friendly atmosphere. One of the best things they do is the free breakfast twice a month, which is always delicious and really great quality such a nice bonus for students. The staff are lovely, always welcoming, friendly, and happy to help with anything. Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience living here and would definitely recommend Kendrick Hall to other students.
