Hi! Will you be living there from sept '12? I can't really find many reviews on it, I went for a veiwing but only got to see the showroom, as the actual building has not been completed yet, slightly wary of placing a deposit and signing a contract just in case it hasn't been completed by sept! The layout and organisation does look great though :smile:

yes! i am gonna be there from september 2012 to june 2015!. well it is a new company, so there's not a lot of reviews but it is best place i saw in manchester. when i saw the room, the location and the actual building, I was pretty impressed. In fact i've already booked a place. I am not being biased here or anything, I mean i've visited the other places as well such as unite and mill point, but i still picked student castle.

It's gonna be completed, actually it is almost finished, plus i think if they didnt finish the building on time and you already gave a deposit, they can refund your money back and help u out to get a temporary room. Im not sure, but you dont have to worry about it.

Wowww. Good floor that haha. I think there is, floor 34 i think? Huge demand for it though so it probably went in an instant.

From Bolton so not far from Manchester but dislike the commute every day and wanted move out, you going mmu or uni of?

How far from Student Castle to MMU Hollings Campus ? anybody know ?

I wanna know how long if I take a bus to there everyday. Is it easy ?

I really wanna live in city centre rather than near the campus.

I'm not really that familiar in MMU holling campus but according to google, MMU holling campus is 44 mins away by walk, and 38 mins by bus.

Im guessing its really not that far, sometimes google is exaggerated but yeah.

38 mins does sound way too much. I'd say 25-30 minutes top.

Hollings Campus (is it just me, or does it look a lot like a toast rack?) is right next to UoM's Fallowfield Campus, so you can just take those times and apply them to Hollings TBH.

Hopefully I am but I can't book a room until I've had my interview at the college which is in August! Just incase I'm not accepted or if I decide I dont like the look of the college then I'd loose the deposit. If all goes well i'll have my interview and i can come home and book a room straight away, so fingers crossed there'll be a room left! A studio room would be ok too I just really want to live there! :smile:
