I’m a student from Berlin currently spending a semester in Leeds, and I originally got an offer from Central Village through my university. However, I decided to go for Threadworks Leeds instead because I wanted to live with my friends, and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with my choice!
At first, we were a bit unsure if it was legit since the building is brand new and still developing, but everything has been amazing. My room is super modern and everything is new. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, and they really go out of their way to make sure residents are happy. The building gets cleaned daily, there’s a pool table, a gym I use all the time, and we even had a really fun welcome party.
I also feel very safe here. It’s about a 20-minute walk to the university, but that actually makes it even better, you’re much closer to the city centre, which I love.
It’s a bit sad that some people complain, especially knowing that the place is still in development, because the team is genuinely doing such a great job. Overall, I absolutely love living here and would 100% recommend it to other students!
