I had a great time living at Host Northfield. It’s in a fantastic location just a 5–10 minute walk to the university forum. It’s also only an 8 minute walk to the Co-op, and there’s a corner shop just 3 minutes away. The accommodation also organises several events, which are a lot of fun and provide great opportunities to meet new people. As someone who is introverted, these events really helped me come out of my shell and form close friendships. Having the university so nearby was incredibly convenient—even on my laziest days, I could still make it to lectures on time. The staff were excellent. The receptionist, Jack, was always helpful with any issues we residents had and made everyone feel at home when showing us around the accommodation. The manager, Aziz, was also extremely helpful and, surprisingly, very approachable and easy to talk to despite being in a managerial role. My only regret is not moving in here during my first year! Advice for future residents: enjoy your time here and make the most of everything it has to offer!
