3 Bedroom House at 93, Gerald Road, salford

CONVENIENT LOCATION, DISAPPOINTING SECURITY AND MANAGEMENT I chose The Green because of its university affiliation, convenient location, and has a reputation from the university. Unfortunately, my experience raised serious concerns about security, maintenance, and complaint handling. During my stay: • A non-resident was able to enter the building and access a student's room. • Someone entered through the rear entrance and stole all food from the shared kitchen area. • Smoking repeatedly occurred inside the accommodation despite multiple reports. • My building regularly lost hot water, and a broken heater took almost two weeks to repair. The most frustrating part was not the incidents themselves, but the lack of effective follow-up. Complaints were acknowledged, apologies were given, and promises were made, but practical solutions often failed to materialize. Staff were generally polite and sympathetic. However, there seemed to be a constant cycle of Home Office referring issues to Security and Security referring them back, with little accountability or visible resolution. Security is the most important factor when living away from home. Based on my experience, I did not feel that The Green handled security and resident concerns to the standard I expected. This review reflects my personal experience only. I encourage prospective residents to compare accommodation options carefully and make an informed decision.

I lived here for almost five months. My building had everything I needed. The room is just the right size for one person, with plenty of space to store your belongings, and I think it’s comfortable too. The kitchen was cleaned about once a month by a team of cleaners, and we tenants made sure to clean it every time we cooked. My relationship with the other girls was always friendly, and this is where I made my first friends!! The office staff were always there and ready to help whenever I needed them. Some of the hobs weren’t working, but after two weeks they were working again. The laundry room is large and works very well; it isn’t always clean, but I think a lot depends on how it’s treated by those who use it, more frequent cleaning shifts could be scheduled, especially at weekends. One thing that didn’t work was the bathroom, or rather, the flush in the bathroom opposite mine wasn’t working and still isn’t, so everyone ends up using mine. I don’t know if it was a problem related to the repair time. That was the only downside. It’s a quiet place with facilities that work, the common areas are tidy, and the relationship with the flatmates depends a lot on who lives there and not just on The Green!! I enjoyed it, but I know of some people for whom that wasn’t the case.

The campus is really lovely, the room I have is ensuite and it's lovely. The bathroom is very small, the shower....well it's a corner, no walls just a curtain so the water does go everywhere on the bathroom door but at least I'm not sharing. The kitchen is big enough for 6 people. My view is lovely. However, there is no recycling really happening, which unfortunately means piles of garbage, which brings out the lovely population of rodents. Even so, happy I choose the green.

Had a lovely experience at the Green. It helped me settle in as an international student on arrival into the UK. Its got a good landscape and its well beautified with well regularly serviced Student halls. Its state of the art with ever willing to help staffs and good security system.

This is my 4th month at green. I took a room at 1 willingham. According to me the way they treat is very much appreciated. The office staffs and securities are friendly and they are always ready to help. Coming to the facilities and maintenance department, I don't feel any delay in getting things fixed. The accommodation is right next to the uni of Bradford also it is near to the city center and Interchange, just 7 to 10 minute walk.
