Turing Flats

Excellent flat, great sized rooms, new and modern. Good location as is a short walk from the central campus, en suite bathrooms which were very modern, the social experience is what let’s it down. Turing is no where near as social as places like Keynes and Eliot. People tend to stay in their rooms and in the houses which were opposite my flats, there was a lot of drug use.

The flats are very spacious and aesthetically pleasing. The beds are a decent size and the desks and cupboards offer a reasonable amount of storage space. The kitchens are huge and are a nice social space although the bins could be larger as we are constantly having to empty them and even though there is a lot of space it can sometimes feel a bit barren. Fridge space can also be an issue but that does depend on how much your flatmates eat. My main issues are with the placement of my building, we are right next to a generator and whenever I open my window I hear a high pitched buzzing sound which is very irritating. Turing also isn't very central. The mattresses also aren't the correct size for the bed, I find it constantly sliding out of position which has given me some back issues in the night. Housekeeping don't always regularly show up either, they didn't tidy my bathroom in nearly 2 months. The internet is amazing though, its super quick, but it is annoying that you can only connect game consoles to the internet via ethernet cable. Overall, its good, however my girlfriend is in Tyler Court and I personally think the accommodation there is much nicer, even though its cheaper.
