Whitworth Park Halls

My sibling has been living here this past year. A year ago, my parents were reading the reviews, horrified at some of the horror stories shared. I've heard stories of my sibling having rats in the kitchen or collecting post being a faff. But my sibling has had a great time and I just wanted to reassure all the students that get assigned here that they can survive and it will be character building 😅

Bathroom is kinda bad, the kitchen is always dirty, its noisy half of the time. But its home <3 (and also very very close to uni)

Nice accommodation with various events. The cleanliness and the noise will depend of your flatmates. It is very close to the citu centre and juste next to the uni.

Unique hall design but very cozy. Very near all the lecture hall at UoM

Yes, it has its issues. I had mold developed in my room at the beginning of the year, however, it was quickly cleaned up and taken care of on the next day!

It is a bit loud, but that is to be expected from a student accommodation.

I got a flat with no window in the kitchen, which is upsetting, but not crucial.

HOWEVER,
I have become good friends with the flatmates, which is essential for any first-year student.

It is THE cheapest accommodation that you will find.

And the location is absolutely superb, as it is practically welded right into the University campus.

TLTR:
Has occasional issues, but entirely worth it for the price.

I've been living here for 1 and half year by now，I reported 13 building maintenance issues, encountered 5 waterleaks in my room, and the maintainance team literally lied to me about they have already fixed the leak but didn't, now my floor is flooded again, knowing the carpet will stink for the next week.

Good overall experience
Flats are available with sink, or without
Had Wi-Fi and Ethernet facilities
My flat housed about 9 students. The halls provided a cleaner to clean communal areas. On site 24 hour security was very helpful if anyone was too noisy they could restore peace.
On site bar arranged pub quiz nights to get everyone involved.
The placement was very convenient, close to shops and university buildings.
Rooms were a decent size and facilities such as vacuum cleaners were provided (and emptied).

My only issue was the squirrel population who could run over the slanted roofs and get into rooms if you left the window open, easily rectified by not leaving the windows open though

All in all, I enjoyed living there, it was a decent price.

recommend to live here as only first year student
