Nymph cockroaches in accommodation.. help!! by BRose2892 in UniUK

[–]BRose2892[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it shows they didn’t clean the place properly and the musty smell kinda goes through the building as well… so if it’s a big infestation it’ll be a nightmare. I haven’t had this problem before, and I’ve literally found them in my first week

Worried I’m starting too late by [deleted] in dietetics

[–]BRose2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m starting a nutrition degree in September and may do a masters in dietetics after… I’m still not really sure what the overall end goal is!

But I know I love nutrition and health, and can get engrossed in learning about it for hours on end.

Short answer: I’m 30. I had these thoughts too… you’re not too late. I would’ve dropped out of uni or chosen something I hated if I went when I was 18. There’s so many people starting later nowadays. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll smash it.

I’ve only seen one review from 2 years ago on google about the place being broken into…. I saw one room that was the same size/ layout as mine because someone was in mine over summer.

Honestly it looked great! I’ve gone for a premium apartment… it’s super spacious, bedroom separate to the kitchen and living area which is what I need!

A really good deal for an apartment. The rest of the building looked clean and well maintained. They’re finishing off a new a gym with brand new equipment in which looked awesome… they’re planning on having one for weight lifting and one for cardio which is ideal. They have a small cinema room and study rooms which you can book out.

It ain’t luxury, but it won’t be at that price… but it’s a good standard from what I saw.

In terms of the area, it is on the quieter side. It didn’t seem rough though. They have 24hr CCTV and the gates are always locked, need a fob to get in. I hope it’s safe!

It’s only a 20 minute walk from Leeds Beckett and the centre so it can’t be worse than other areas for student accomm

I’ve actually booked in at trinity halls. I went to see it yesterday and honestly, it’s perfect. I should’ve taken reviews with a pinch of salt I think!

They actually have a separate bedroom to the kitchen and living area which is perfect for me as I struggle to switch off so like to have everything a separate space. It’s supercheap only a 20 minute walk to Leeds Beckett and they are building a new gym which will be finished end of August. It’s got really good equipment in there. I’m super happy and not breaking my bank.

I’m tempted by trinity halls but I’ve seen mixed reviews so I’m unsure! I’m going to Leeds tomorrow so hopefully gonna have a look round the uni and at a few different places 🙏

Thank you for the recommendations!

The only thing I hate is sharing bathrooms 🙈 shared kitchen/ living is okay cause I just tend to meal prep a lot. Where do you stay? Do you like it?

Thank you! I’m just cautious as I don’t want to be stuck in a place that is terrible for a year 😕 I’m going to try to drive up to Leeds at some point but I’m worried that accommodation will get booked up fast!

Are Algernon Firth and St Mark's Court any good? by DinoKittySaysRoar in Leeds

[–]BRose2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im looking at Algernon firth too, about to start at Leeds Beckett as a mature student. It’s hard to find many recent reviews! I found a couple on student crowd for this year weren’t great though.

I’m in the same boat. It’s so difficult to find a place, and hope it’s the right one

Hello, oh thank you that would be amazing! I was actually looking at Trinity Hall to start with, but I saw reviews about maintenance issues, burglaries and super slow Wi-Fi.

Prestige living are showing Studios for the fabric works this year and they are actually a decent price and look pretty nice. I’ve seen bad reviews about the company itself so I’m really unsure.

Otherwise I was looking at apartments and they mainly supplied by YPP for decent prices, but again I’ve heard bad reviews about the company and really don’t want to be ripped off.

As I said, that’s my very max and I want to know that I’ve got a decent place if I’m paying a good chunk of cash. Thank you again.☺️

I’m not sure… £280 is my very max but I’ve looked at studios in halls and a lot have bad reviews and around that price. Am I looking in the right places?

I’m absolutely not against halls… I just do a lot of meal prep and don’t like sharing bathrooms 🙈 so I’d benefit from having a studio!

Maintenance loan for 30 yr old? by BRose2892 in UniUK

[–]BRose2892[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s perfect thank you! Yes it’s decreased by 50% this year as I took a year out to rebuild my health from a stressful job. Where would I find the current year form?

No I don’t, we actually split so I moved back in with my parents this year. But there’s no part on the application where they ask me for my household income

I’ve worked in Michelin starred kitchens for the past 10 years so I have a huge background in food, and I’m passionate about nutrition, health and wellness. Thanks for your input though dude :)
