    Well I'm not sure about the studios, I'm in a 5 bedroom flat. The pictures definitely make the rooms look bigger than they are, but I'm still pretty happy with the size! The kitchen is a nice size too. I would imagine the pictures make the studios look bigger too. Will you be moving into a single studio or a shared flat?

    Hey everyone,

    Just wanted some opinions...I'm going to be a postgrad at Napier come September but my offer is conditional so can't book a place until I get my degree class end of June/start of July.

    Anyone reckon the iQ places are better than say, Wrights Houses? I probably can't afford a studio flat so would be living with others in the iQ place anyway.

    They said, that I can book now and in case of not reaching my conditions, they will give me my money back. So you can book now, withou any problems, but email them to in case of whatever

    IQ is more comfortable and en-suite
