Peel Park Quarter - Campus Accommodation

The harassment made me feel unsafe and terrified, and it badly affected my mental health. My advice would be to keep as far away from this accommodation as you can. I was bullied, and my repeated reports went nowhere. I spent the semester sharing a flat with drug users, and no one acted on my complaints. The walls are so thin you hear everything from every direction, making it hard to feel comfortable or safe. There’s also a serious mouse infestation throughout the accommodation. After the semester, I extended my stay for the summer because, as an international student, I had no other option. They made me leave my room and move to another building because summer camp students from Saudi Arabia were arriving. Flies and insects kept getting into my room all summer. In the second flat, the sofa was completely burnt, so there wasn’t a proper place to sit. The summer camp students also repeatedly verbally harassed us. We reported it several times, but the company ignored us and seemed to put profit ahead of residents’ safety and wellbeing. They reportedly made £2 million or possibly more from those students.

Good luck with this place, it’s a real hit or miss. Some staff are really helpful, others are useless. Our drains still have problems. The day staff didn’t care or fix them, but the lovely night staff came and cleared water that had flooded most of the flat. The rooms are okay and the kitchens aren’t terrible, but the walls are basically paper thin. You hear everything, so for a quiet evening you’re better off studying in the library than trying to relax in your room. Laundry costs around £5 a load and does the job. It’s not horrendous, just soul crushing. The grounds are very rat infested, though I love rats. I’ve never seen them get into the buildings, but you should bear that in mind.

I'm not one to leave bad reviews for no reason, but the way my daughter has been treated is despicable. Dads, steer clear. Lots of drug users hang around the complex and pester the students.

Awesome. Security at reception is good, and the vending machines are 10/10. You might also get woken up by a loud alarm every Wednesday at 11am.
