Canterbury student manor 2021

Here is my in-depth analysis of Canterbury student manor.Firstly, the service there is better, the staff there are kind and welcoming. In Park wood flats, the staff is close to non existent in the sense that they get on with their work and only converse when you actually need something. Not a dealbreaker but a point to make.The room layout of CRM is perfect. In other words, it would be exactly how I would have lay it out. The bed is tucked into a corner of the room, the kitchen is towards the entrance with the bathroom near the entrance as well. The space for the kitchen counter is not enough which is a disadvantage. I use an old desk as more counter-space. The main work desk is more than sufficient for any person. I have my monitor keyboard mousepad and laptop all on there at once. Park wood has their layout in a not ideal way. The bed is smack dab in the centre of the room with tiny walking space on either side of the bed, the desk space is smaller than CRM but I wouldn’t say its bad. The storage spaces are decent and I think are better than CRM however the lack of a proper under bed storage is a dealbreaker for me with park wood. CRM has under bed storage. In terms of hygiene CRM is superior in every way, when I first walked in, it looked absolutely clean. I would say that there were coffee stains that were on the desk when I moved however they did not come off so nothing could be done about that. The bathroom was very clean with no issues to report, the kitchen was also the same with no issues. There were permanent stains here and there in the room but nothing so vile or severe that it would impact me day to day. In park wood it is a slightly different story. The carpet wasn’t vacuumed when my friend moved in. We had to vacuum it ourselves. Otherwise nothing else to report. The issue is with the bathroom. It was disgusting. The floors are yellow and have black stains embedded in the grout, the walls were crusty from the water from the shower. The shower was not separate from the bathroom so the drain was directly on the floor. This is terrible because it means you will get wet feet when you step in the bathroom. The worst were the silverfish infestation in the crevices of the floor. They would come out when the lights were off and scurry back to their holes when you turned on the lights. It made us uncomfortable just to use the bathroom.A few point to note, park wood has gas hobs where as crm had induction hobs.There are cleaning staff at park wood that routinely clean your kitchen and toilet. In crm you are responsible for cleaning your facilities.Hope this helps and is not too long and boring

To get to the university, you can either walk for 40 mins (what I do most of the time as the buses are unreliable) or you can choose to take a bus from sturry road (2 min walk) and change at the bus station to a uni bus. An alternate route is to walk 15 mins to the uni 1 or 2 bus stop and take one bus to uni (a more reliable option).I usually walk to uni as it is a safer option to not be late and take a bus or two back to crm. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

No sorry, I just know about Crm or the university campus itself.
