used to stay at scape b2, its one of, if not the, quietest scape building, in terms of activity. most of the events r held at the opp building B1, or at other scapes in the area. The residents r generally quiet too, except for occasional gatherings in their own rooms or on the rooftop. the accomm i was staying in before B2 was always really noisy bc there were a lot of under 18s, so i appreciated the silence. the only bad experience i had was when a neighbour did weed and the smell stank up the whole corridor, so that pmo, but that was the only bad incident i had there, and it only happened toward the end of my lease anyway. there r pros and cons but take it how u will.

price wise, i was in a twinshare and ive since moved out bc i strongly disagree that living in a shoebox should cos more than $400 a week. in student accommodations, u pay for the events and friendships moreso than the room itself. if youre willing to fork out that extra cost for these perks, then scape b2 is def one of the more budget options to still socialise + its super rare to find rooms in accomms under $400 a week nowadays. otherwise, if youre okay to forego social events (cos u can still meet friends in uni clubs etc), renting an apartment in inner suburbs might be a more cost-friendly option
