I\u2019m in my final year of uni, and I\u2019ve been moving between different student accommodations every year, but this is by far the best one I\u2019ve had. The room is nice, the location is amazing, and the social areas are great for both studying and socialising. The events the accommodation holds add a real sense of community to the place, and the staff are all helpful, friendly and kind.\n\nThis is my 3rd year in Newcastle. For the past 2 years, I\u2019ve struggled to settle in because I haven\u2019t found that sense of community, whether at uni or in my previous accommodations. So I\u2019d really love to thank everyone who works in this building: Laura, Karina, Stu, Claire, Millie, Beth, Katie, Monica, Roy Jordan, Ari, Rosie, Kamal, Gospel, and Gemma (who\u2019s moved to Strawberry Place now) for the great vibe and for making this place feel like a home away from home, it\u2019s also the place where I met a guy from Singapore, who is very nice and inclusive and quickly became one of my best friends in Newcastle, that wouldn\u2019t be possible without the social events and opportunities this accommodation offers\n\nThe missing star is for the cost. I booked in November 2024 to move in September 2025, thinking booking early would get me the best price. This is NOT the case with Vita Students. People who booked after me, or closer to the move-in date, pay significantly less than I do for the same room spec.\n\nMy experience with customerengagement@vitastudent.com wasn\u2019t ideal either. It doesn\u2019t really feel like customer service, more like you\u2019re negotiating with them every time you ask about anything, which is unusual for a student accommodation.\nLastly, and this is very minor, the noise isolation could be improved, especially through the flat door, as I can clearly hear everything happening outside it.","time":"1776511317","created_at":"2026-08-01 19:52:26","updated_at":"2026-11-01 12:56:28","deleted_at":null,"deleted_by":null},{"id":12247,"build_id":"498","author_name":"Ejii Sunday","author_url":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/110694036775334837967\/reviews","language":"en","profile_photo_url":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocKJrWGkPOKkkaWWX8v_gDMdAm09LBJD7zaHRGGQFpAbGbKvWQ=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo","rating":"5","relative_time_description":"6 months ago","text":"I love the space and the breakfast\u2014every corner of the building is always neat and secure.\n\nThe staff are truly amazing, especially Stu, who is always smiling and willing to help.","time":"1776094183","created_at":"2026-08-01 19:52:26","updated_at":"2026-11-01 12:56:28","deleted_at":null,"deleted_by":null},{"id":12249,"build_id":"498","author_name":"Tom","author_url":"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/contrib\/113544765414788847512\/reviews","language":"en","profile_photo_url":"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a-\/ALV-UjX0AB7YARmUjYYkZ8KqpdCbnRiFsfW_GeLNvdaCvyDNqPzbbGz4=s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo","rating":"5","relative_time_description":"11 months ago","text":"I have yet to book the accommodation and I'm still undecided, however the support from Faye Liu is unbelievable.
