Is storthes hall kept in good keeping like cleanlyness etc?

Personally I was really impressed with it! I think the bad reports you hear are only the odd person! Nowhere I've been at Storthes smells and as long as you open the window after you've had a shower to let the moisture out you won't get damp I went to Storthes with very low expectations due to all the bad things I'd heard about it but to be honest I love it and don't want to move out now!

Thats good then and ahh right, yeh thats a good tip, probs wudnt think of that. How did you find the rooms for space? As when I went for a viewing wasn't sure on the space available within the Standard En-suites as in like whether there would be enough storage in room.

Well I'm in Boothroyd D and my room is massive! They'll tell you that all the room are the same size but they do seen to vary because the one I looks round when I applied was slightly shorter! Storage is great I have a big under bed drawer, 3 drawers built into my desk, a wardrobe which is half hanging space half shelves and a large double shelf on the wall! I also have my own set of plastic drawers that I bought and with that I have more than enough space! I don't really have any pics at the min but I can send you some when I go back after Easter if you want?

Damp in pretty much every block I have been in.



Leaving your shower open to prevent damp is lies. I had a throat and chest infection from the damp underneath my bed that I didn't know I was lying on top of but you probably saw that on the storthes hall page on facebook if you are on it along with everybody elses complaints of damp. It's a structural problem and the rooms are not properly ventilated, opening your window is not a substitute for a vent. I know some people do genuinely like it at storthes but I and everyone I know that lives there think it is an absolute hovel which is why I'm letting people know on here, a couple of people in 1400 really isn't enough is it, I'd rather people avoided the experience I've had.

Im finding Storthes hall quite confusing on what to go by lol, as seems like half love it and then other half dont o.O...think best idea is to have a look round before deciding and maybe asking questions when im there. Apart from the distance n bad reviews (obv), i like the sound of storthes hall, its just the bus journey that puts me off the most. How have you found the bus journeys so far? as some people have said that it is crammed

Opening your window to get rid of the damp is not lies that's very rude of you to say such a thing! Yeah I do seem to pick up coughs and colds and stuff quicker being at Storthes but people getting Ill is mostly due to their lifestyle! It's well known that students always get chest infections, your body doesn't like all the late nights and drinking and the poor diet it may be put through! Just make sure you look after yourself and eat lots of fruit and veg as you may not be getting all the right vitamins in your diet - especially I you drink lots! I'd take a multivitamin supplement if I were you!
