Here! Student Accommodation

I like the common rooms such as practice room and cinema room, and it’s very useful. Also, Base is close to dance studio and all the shops, so I’m glad that I choose Base this year.

I had a great experience staying at Base. The management team were helpful, even if they had a lot to contend with this first year. There were a few incidents that I had with my flatmates but these are in no way the fault of Base’s management and Hannah and other colleagues were all very helpful and friendly. There was one incident which I think could have been handled better, where a few pieces of information were passed on to the management at one time and only some were dealt with (although I can see why the ones dealt with took priority). Overall, the facilities were great, the management staff and, in fact, all staff were lovely people who wanted to help. I liked the practice rooms, but some of the pianos could have been better. The management were always looking for ways to improve the way they run, asking for input from students constantly and being creative. There were many social events which were quite well organised. I think this has been a great place to live. Covid-19: The management team along with the RCS arranged for a refund of rent from the end of March to the end of the tenancy agreement. On top of this, they have been keeping us updated on what they are doing to help us, offering to do shopping trips for us and drop them off safely outside our doors, etc. For me, since I moved back home quite early, before the lockdown, I didn’t need to take advantage of this, but they’ve been keeping everyone updated and keeping track of who is and isn’t in the building. Before leaving, we were advised to leave our things in the middle of our bed, all packed so that they can send our things back to us if need be.

The staff made my time staying here they were so friendly and caring. The gym is good but would like a squat bar :). Covid-19: Kept notified frequently and now awaiting a refund

I loved staying at Base and was sad that my stay was cut short this year due to Coronavirus. The staff made you feel safe and at home and I love being able to practice where I stay. RCS is a two minute walk away. Definitely recommend Base to all students of the institute.
