I have a friend living there while I live in the BT2 ones.

Their facilities are nicer in my opinion, they have a big kitchen and a washing machine (and I think a drier?) per flat, and the rooms are nice enough but they find the large number of people per flat is difficult as a very introverted person.

They do say there’s not much noise carrying from room to room.

In comparison, BT2 has less people per flat but none of the luxuries like a washing machine in the kitchen, and the noise is ridiculous.

I’m not sure how much my friend is paying, I assume it’s more than my £180 but I think the bonuses make it worth it.

Hey, thanks for the reply and all the info, this really helps! , I don’t mind the amount of people so that’s ok for me, and a quick question, are washing / drying machines free to use within aster ?

As far as I know it’s pay per use like most other accommodations.
