The impression in the first day is that it is a safe, clean and modern accomodation. Price is fair. Rooms and WC are small, just enoght for the supplied furnite. Kitchen is functional but will see how it goes with 13 people.
Peaceful and affordable accommodation compared to what a student can get on their own. I have seen my friends staying in a rented house oh god where to start it's very tiny and a miniature kitchen and one restroom shared by 8 peoplenIn my opinion money matters but not at the cost of personal space and peace....
Starting with the positives this accommodation is modern, spacious and has lots of things to do on campus; there are also lots of places to socialise. The rooms are bright and open with good storage if you pick that room option and include a decent sized desk. Its only about 10 minutes on the Uni bus to Penrhyn and the town centre, Right on the Themes and you can walk to a nice waterside park. The base kitchen is really decent and each room has their own very small cupboard that locks. Theres a newly opened common room thats really cool but I worry its gonna be trashed really quickly, its pretty busy and a good place to socialise.nnThe buildings have many issues such as faulty security doors, wifi issues, blackouts in the winter, heating and water issues and a lot of unfinished work from the recent refit. The rooms are also not very sound proof as you can hear conversations from rooms above and next to you. The kitchen has faulty ovens and microwaves that only work like 60% of the time. All of this means that maintenance is around a LOT and you are constantly emailing or going to reception at least once a week. The fire alarms are EXTREMELY sensitive and were set off a lot in my block and others causing large group evacuations at like 5am, The security often do random checks of the fire alarms during these if they think someone has been smoking in their rooms and its very tedious.nnMost of the staff on site are pretty rude, and security is very standoffish and bossy. The day staff are sometimes nice but most of the time they seem bored and angry, There is also not a lot of communications between the night and day staff as some staff will help while others just tell you to come back tomorrow which is fine if you're asking about post but not if you need your heating and hot water fixed in the middle of winter.nnI also wasn't aware that when I was moving in that I was moving into a building site with workmen and contractors on site, It was very upsetting because I was promised things that weren't finished until my last few months on campus. Please make sure you read it carefully so you can manage your expectations but mostly things seem to be finished in that regard.nnPlease take everything I've said with a grain of salt as this is just my own opinion, Seething was also my first home away from home and I've met a lot of people here. Its genuinely a very nice modern and stylish accommodation in an ideal location for Kingston Uni students, Just please be aware that things like I said above do factor in.
There was a reconstruction of all the buildings. They increased the number of rooms but sacrificed space and ventilation. The corridors no longer have a single window and it's ridiculously hot. even in winter inside the corridors and rooms it reaches 20° without turning on the heating. But in summer the heat is unbearable, you can't stay inside your room because you sweat in streams even with the window open all day. It is cheap, but it is evident that with this reconstruction they were only interested in having more rooms and they did not care about the consequences of this reduction in space.
Much better than I thought it would be! Any maintenance issue is fixed within hours by halls staff, reception staff are really friendly and helpful, and hall are quite close to Surbiton supermarket, train station, etc... much closer than Clayhill. The rooms have everything you could ask for in a uni hall, and the atmosphere is great.
