The location was far from university so I had to get a bus but there were lots of shops, bars and things to do where it was in Leith walk which made up for it. My room was an en suite which was pleasant for first year as sharing a bathroom seemed a bit daunting as you don’t really know the people you’re going to be living with. In terms of social experience, from freshers week the RA’s organised lots of events which made it easy to meet people and get involved socially.

The location is a little far out but the social experience is good and the facilities and room are good!

Had a lovely overall experience at Shrubhill. The facilities are excellent. All rooms include en-suites of very nice quality, although perhaps a bit small. The rooms are really nice although the desk is definitely a bit too small. The kitchen is nice and spacious including all amenities- even has a dishwasher and TV which was really nice. The RAs organised great socials and the staff is lovely. Perhaps the biggest minus for Shrubhill is the location as it is quite far out. 40-45 min walk from the main campus and too far to walk to King’s buildings. For me a bus pass was a must which may be annoying for some as it is almost £50 a month. A positive is that there are great bus connections from Shrubhill and the buses are very reliable.

Shrubhill is a really amazing student accommodation. The security is always on site and there's a laundry room in the building. The rooms are very nice and new so I almost feel like I'm living in a hotel. The ensuite bathrooms are amazing and the kitchen is a great size. There are many events done by the RAs which is great for making new friends and the common room is a perfect place for chilling out and playing games. I only want to point out the location since it's quite far from the uni which is like a 30 minute walk but other than that there is nothing else to complain about.

The facilities are of a really good standard and all the staff are really nice. The only things that let it down are the washing facilities and the location.
