Does anyone have any recent or current experience of SHU accommodation, please? I'm supporting a young man who will be joining SHU as an undergraduate at the Collegiate site later this year and living in Halls as his first experience of living away from home. He doesn't drive or cycle and finances will be tight. I have already twice been advised to avoid The Forge: that 24 hour reception/security isn't available in reality and there have been very concerning recent incidents of break-ins and students being assaulted, with some students seeking to move out? I've looked at the information on the Uni's website but would welcome hearing any personal experience to help him choose. Many thanks in advance.

We’ve gone with The Gate! You’re right, so central and everything you need. Will sleep well knowing she’s there. Over to her to make the most of it now!! Thanks so much everyone.

@DdgoingtoUni ah that's great!
DS is very excited. So far, he's found four of his flatmates online and they're all girls! 😂 One has moved in already and is sending pics of their flat - it looks more spacious than I thought it would be!
