Halls Of Residence At De Montfort University

Grosvenor House - This was my halls during my first year at De Montfort University. The halls itself were lovely but I had a few problems initially as my course started during summer and although they had several months notice they were still not able to have my room ready for when I arrived so I was put into another building within the complex. They then gave me my keys by mistake and I moved to my actual room (which was the same rental price but a lot smaller) to find the flat hadn't been cleaned since summer! Aside from these teething problems the halls were very nice and modern to live in albeit very small coming from living in a family home. A few points ...  Read the complete review

I am writing this opinion from first hand experience. Unlike Meggienoo_d and LouisaNott, I have just spent the past nine months living in Scraptoft Halls. I agree that the halls themselves might not be aesthetically pleasing but they are well maintained and situated in a really nice area of Leicester. The fact that it will soon be closing down is a shame. The food is ok and it's better than having to cook your own meals every evening after a day at uni, and believe me you get your money's worth!

How disgusting are the Scraptoft campus Halls?!?!? Granted I've only been there once when I went for an interview(and I did actually choose to go there anyway bear in mind!!!) but when the woman who was showing us around said they were £62.00 a week I nearly started laughing because I thought she was kidding!!! I realise you get food included(which they decided not to show us......did worry me slightly!!!) and I would actually rather cook my own food(for a fraction of the price I hasten to add!!!). Apparently the food is not up to much anyway so would probably avoid it at all costs in that case!!! If anyone reading this doesn't believe me on how ...  Read the complete review

Before you start reading this opinion, I should let you know that this opinion is ONLY about the halls of residence in DeMontfort Leicester Scraptoft campus. I went for an interview there, and had to make a decision between a course there and a course in Birmingham, and decided against DeMontfort on the basis of two issues, totally unrelated to the course. The halls of residence at Scraptoft seem OK on the outside, a little grey and elderly, but nonetheless nicer than many halls I've seen in the past. Also, the rent is cheap, at £61 per week with food. "With food"? I hear you say. No, it's not written anywhere in the prospectus that food is ...  Read the complete review
