This is one of the nicest accommodations ntu has to offer. It's newly refurbished. However whilst staying here with have had problems with the wifi, the water, and the power which have taken a little while to fix. It's a good accommodation, one of the best on offer but is expensive for what you get. How good it is socially it depends on your flat, but that's out of your control as you can't know who you're staying with until you've picked the room.

GSS is so close uni that you can literally roll out of bed and into your lecture in minutes. The halls are modern and the common areas are spacious but the rooms are pretty small, although, living in the big flats with 10 people is a lot of fun. Freshers week here is great, as there's always something going on and it's easy to make friends with flats on other floors. Downsides to here are security are hot on any noise so no big parties but that's a plus when you actually want a good nights sleep. Mike the Irish security guard is a decent guy tho, so stay on his good side. Also, we had some issues with things breaking and it took a while to get them sorted - door to the flat stopped closing properly which is obvs a security issue, one of our lights filled with a disgusting smelling leak and our kitchen tap came loose - it's expensive to live here so would have thought it would have been better maintained. Loved living here though.

The location of Gill Street South is ideal. So close to the city but just far away enough to not hear the noise from the students union or he city. It's all really modern and clean, having an en-suite bathroom is so handy! It's also really safe, it's closed off with gates and you need a key to get in.

The location of gill street is great, 2 minute walk from Trent and a 5 minute walk to the shopping centre, it's in the heart of the town but tucked away enough to avoid any noise from traffic. The facilities in the flat are great, beds really comfy, and showers hire powerful. The social life living here is great it's right round the corner from the SU and a 2 minute walk from spoons.

Very modern, clean and practical. Cleaners come to flat weekly. Maintenance are very helpful. Can be noisy at times. No lift access. Great location. Washing machines unreliable and expensive. Overall price expensive.

The room and flat was very modern and clean but was quite small. Amazing location as it was right on campus and so close to city centre, couldn't get closer to everything you needed. It was very social but would mean it was often very loud which was expected. It felt very safe with the gated entry which was a big positive for me. Downfall was how expensive it was especially considering it was a small room and the kitchen area wasn't very comfortable if you were trying to spend time with flat mates for a while. Also no blinds on the huge kitchen Windows meant that you didn't have much privacy at night as others could see in clear as day. Overall good experience but think it was ultimately overpriced now that I've lived elsewhere.

The location is amazing, 3 minute walk to lectures, 1 minute walk to SU, 5-10 minute walk into town and if you need to go any further there’s trams constantly running. The actual accommodation is great however for the price you’re paying, you’d expect at least a tv in the kitchen or a common room to make it a more sociable accommodation but the kitchen is spacious and the room is nice so all in all it does it’s job!

Lovely staff and constantly checking if everything OK with high levels of security. Amazing location 2 minutes from lectures and 5 minutes into the main city center and nightlife

Great location and facilities (all rooms are en-suite). Social experience was amazing, always something to do. Made friends with people in other flats as well as my own. It is quite expensive but as are all university accommodation.

Loved it; was clean, looked great compared to other halls and didn’t receive too much street noise so wasn’t kept up at night too much. The cleaners were good and everything’s in such convenient distance. Would definitely go back.

Was such a fun first year at uni! I was in an 11 man flat which was lively (noisy) but also ensured I had lots of people to choose from to be friends with especially with neighbouring flats. Perfect location for uni and really good facilities!
