Hello!
My name is Margarida and I'm a Reslife Assistant. I've studied a BA in Photography with International Enhancement at Coventry University and have recently graduated. During my first year I lived at a Futurelets student accommodation. This was definitely one my most exciting years at uni.
Living in the student accommodation allowed me to meet a lot of new people, who I became friends with. We would attend the Reslife events such as day trips , stalls and much more. Reslife events were a great way to relax after a day at uni and just socialise. Living in a student accommodation just makes life easier as they are pretty close to university and there's also receptionists who can receive your parcels and letters!
I definitely recommend living at a student accommodation during your first year as there's plenty of opportunities to meet new people, all bills are included, you have security 24/7 in the buildings, and there's also a maintenance team in case you have any problems.
Let me tell you a bit of the accommodations that Futurelets have available...
