What our students think
Moving from one country to another can be a daunting task, and so is finding a new home in a completely different place amidst all the other struggles. Queen’s accommodation has taken the entire burden from students in providing us with a hassle free and secure place to stay. Having stayed in BT1 for an entire year, all I can say is that I have had the best student experience. From making friends who became my family, to enjoying the close proximity to the city’s busy and happening social spots, you get all here. What’s more? The free coffee bar food events were one of the major mood lifters after a hectic day at the Uni. So, thanks to Queen’s accommodation at Elms BT1 for making Belfast feel like another home away from home.
