For context, I’m a 21f possibly starting Solent this September. Their uni residences all look dated (which is common in most uni residences) i thought i’d give it a go either way, cos it is the cheapest option (6k a year) - but when i read the reviews it was terrible.
Problems that were said:
- It’s not worth the money for what is there.
- Problems with the heater, air con and shower.
- Mold everywhere and even growing onto people’s belongings (like into someone’s toothbrush case)!!
- Accommodation is rough feels like you’re in a prison.
- Silverfish is everywhere too.
- Security is not 100% secure, anything can happen not a lot is monitored (for example ppls parcels being stolen).
These were only half the problems I saw 😣 has anyone applied to any of these accommodation’s or already has? If so, can you give insight on how your own experience was?
Seriously considering whether I should go for private accommodation although it would be 8k a year as opposed to 6k a year with uni residences. Do I suffer and pay the cheapest option to save money or pay an expensive price for a peace of mind?
I have no idea what to do any advice would be helpful!
