Anyone else staying at Carr Mills Leeds!

I'm in too! I can't seem to find many people that are though so I'm worrying nobody wants to make friends and I'll be alone aha!

Carr Mills is a brilliant place.

These internet reviews are not true. I visited the place and I can say it is as safe as other accommodation and the price is just unbelievable.

It is a good 20 cheaper than another private accommodation provider on the same street and 30 cheaper per week than the University owned accommodation 2-3 mins away.

The best advice I could only suggest students is to get reviews about the property from students been in Leeds than reading reviews of people new to Leeds/or visiting for the same year.

I am sure my cousin will be happy with Carr mills for Sept 2013

There are a couple of shortcuts from Carr Mills to uni... do not under any circumstances take them. It will take an extra 15/20 minutes to get there but is much safer. Once you're by Leodis as well, you're pretty much fine. See how it goes, you can always advertise your room through Unipol and find somewhere else. I would advise speaking to uni and see if they will organise another free bus service to campus again in the meantime.

If you're living with a friend, try to always walk together, groups of people (particularly guys) aren't as much of a target. One guy on his own, no matter how hench, might still be attacked... it happened to a 6ft 4 friend of mine in 2008.

Sorry if I've made you nervous, but again I think it's better to go into something knowing what to expect. Yeah the petrol station one is nasty, yes it cuts off time to uni but don't risk it.

If during the day, then don't be too worried, but at night I would get a taxi (I don't know what buses go past if any, I only know the Leodis ones).

No worries people, simply get the 92 or 56 buses as both stop pretty much outside, walking after 6pm probably is not advisable (i doubt there's any risk of attack during the day). IQ is so close that it would not make much difference.

I stayed here last year and might be coming back again.

Kirstys really nice and flexible when it comes to payments..I payed mine in three installments when my loan came in.
It was pretty scary when all the muggings etc happened but theres risk of stuff like that wherever you are really. If you get put with a good bunch of people youll love it,,one of the cheapest places around think i was the only one of my friends who stayed in other places whos loan actually covered the costs of their accomodation !

happy to answer any other qs

What about when it gets dark in winter?

Who knows.

I'm considering it for my final year though there's a few other options i'm looking at.

I believe you can pay after the loan goes in, indeed i believe they allow flexible booking so your not tied down to x weeks like most contracts. If i do stay i'd probably book 29th Sep-5th July myself.

I take it you haven't live there before...?
