Wood Green Hall - Wood Green

Very good service and excellent hall

Very friendly environment

Awful place to live. It is cheap for London, but not worth it. Their "zero tolerance policy towards bullying" meant that they released me from my contract when I was being bullied. The bully received no form of punishment at all, despite them standing at my doorway and screaming at me for an hour (for something I didn't even do!), and illegally filming me in my room. When I complained to the staff in the office, they only asked the bully to delete the video of me. They refused to take any action and only offered to release me from my contract. After the incident, I had to stay at a friend's place for a week as I was too scared to step foot back in my room. There was no compensation for the loss of money associated with having to move out due to their negligence and inaction. The extra cost associated with me having to move out due to bullying was approximately £640 (due to the higher rent in the only available alternative residence I could find at such short notice). Furthermore, the bully in question had previously assaulted (punched) another resident's friend. I was assured by several residents that this incident had been reported to security and the office staff, yet when my parents called to complain about the bullying (and mentioned that they were worried for my safety due to my neighbour having previously assaulted this person), the staff in the office denied any knowledge of this assault. Some Smaller But Significant Points: The smaller kitchens are too small for more than one person to cook in at a time. The showers are stuck on freezing cold and boiling hot temperatures, which you cannot change. If you have any skin conditions, this will cause problems. It constantly smells of weed. A member of the cleaning staff used to shout about how much she hated students. If you accidentally leave anything in the bathroom, it will be thrown away by the cleaning staff. The sound-proofing is awful. In some of the rooms, any noise coming from the other room (even whispering) can be heard. The common room is incredibly loud and can be heard even if you are on the second floor above. The area is also not safe; I was approached several times by older men asking me to go home with them, while I was walking home. There were outbreaks of bedbugs. There were several days where the wifi would not work at all. I wholeheartedly regret living here.

WARNING: BED BUGS! Unless you want to throw out half of your belongings because of bed bugs do not stay here! Serious bed bug issue that treatments did not fix. Bites all over body! Unsanitary residence and dirty kitchens and washrooms. Rooms: small and nasty looking, PRISON like. As soon as you move you feel like your sentence has begun. PROS: Fabio from maintenance was nice. Meet nice people.
