Choosing to live somewhere such as The Ascent, by IconInc is truly the best decision a student in the UK can make.
If you choose to live, in a private apartment with no concierge. You will have no option but to spend a large amount of time and money dealing with: organising your utility bills, liaising with an estate agent, finding housemates, organising accommodation taxes, living in close proximity to people you don't know in a potentially unsafe area, moving your belongings in to the apartment alone, and importantly, it's likely you will have to work harder to find social interaction, which is crucial for feeling happy in a new city. Students need to feel happy, because when we're happy, we can do our best work, and achieve our best grades, to begin our careers.
If you live somewhere like IconInc, everything above and more is taken care of for us.
After comparing other accommodations in Liverpool, listening to my friend's experience of other places, and having now lived in IconInc for 4 months - It is crystal clear that IconInc deliver the best standard of this experience in Liverpool.
On a final note, I would like to highlight a particular member of staff, Libby, who goes above and beyond for tenants in the building. Having staff members who help with anything (within reason), is what takes the Ascent to the next level for student living experience.
