Abode, Brickworks, Coal Yard accommodation YSJ

Is anyone currently living in any of these private YSJ accommodations? Do you like them? Are they worth the rent costs?? They look lovely.

Hi Anon,

I've asked some fellow student ambassadors for their feedback and I have some for the Abode and Brickworks!

Abode: "It's worth the rent in my opinion - you get a modern en-suite and the Abode put on regular in-house events, maintenance is good and regular, and it's definitely better than being in University-managed housing, it's just a more involved experience and tons of opportunities to socialise."

Brickworks: "I absolutely loved it! The staff are available 24/7 and that was the main selling point for me - they're so helpful, especially when I accidentally locked myself out of my flat with sausage rolls in the oven! The rooms are en-suites with 4-5 people in a flat and the rent includes free access to their gym, social area with a pool table and table football, and Ruthie and her team put on loads of events like a free pizza party on the night of the move-in. All the events are free/included with the rent and I loved them! Doors are also all self-locking and the security is amazing. Would recommend!"

Hope this helps in your decision 🙂 I'm sure you'll love it no matter where you go!
