Better Community

We are so much more than a place of residence for students. Thanks to all the little extra details – from a busy social calendar, free bikes and support staff available 24/7 to washing machines that email you when your laundry is done – Student One is a home away from home, where many make friends for life. If it will make your stay and studies easier we have thought of it.
