Ranmoor/Endcliffe

Thoroughly enjoyed living here in first year. The location was a bit out there - about 20 minute walk from most lectures, but always felt safe. Very modern flats and a real sense of community. Was good to have a bar near the accommodation meaning we could just pop across for a few pints in the evening

Although Ranmoor has a reputation for being quieter than the larger Endcliffe accommodation, there is still definitely a community atmosphere. The flats are modern and well equipped, with en suite bathrooms with every room. The half an hour walk to the university is a bit of a downside, but there are always students streaming through Broomhill so you will find people to walk with. The loss of the Ridge bar is definitely a drawback as quiz nights and movie nights were always fun to go to with your flat. The WiFi available is eduroam which is good because friends visiting from other unis can easily connect to it.

A great social space with high quality rooms and plenty going on almost every day of the week. The bar serves great food and cheap drinks and the place just looks stunning. A truly great place to spend your first year at uni.

The actual accommodation is adequate with lots of space however there are scuff marks all over the place and parts of the wall repainted over in a slightly different colour. Living in ranmoor is irritating due to the lack of a bar like Entcliffe has whilst still paying the same amount. There also isn't enough washing machines available for the amount of people living there. The location is about half an hour walk to uni of a £1 bus journey which is fine as a walk tends to wake you up in time for the first lecture. The internet is a bit inconsistent at times but is never horrendous however it is irritating that you cannot use certain devices on the network e.g. an Amazon Firestick. It is okay overall, it's halls and what you would expect.

I lived in Ranmoor village for my first year, and all things considered, it was okay. I shared a flat with 10 others (which is unusual I might add) so there was a lot of kitchen space. The ensuite rooms were a tad on the small side, but the bathrooms were ideal. However, the noise was regularly an issue. Clubbing isn’t just for the weekends, so both the flat and the surrounding areas were often playing loud music most nights. EARPLUGS ARE ESSENTIAL!!!!! Maintainance were crap, but from what I hear from friends across the county, all unis have the same issue. Think of it as a Bear Grylls style survival challenge. 3am fire alarms are a uni halls standard, but Ranmoor also has a 10 second fire alarm test every Wednesday between 10-12. This is okay if you’re already out, but if it’s your morning off, prepare to be scared awake
