Gulson Gardens is stupidly close to everything. You can roll out of bed five minutes before a lecture and still grab a coffee on the way. Seriously, the city centre and the university campus are basically your back garden. And there’s a Tesco Express a two-minute walk away—which, let’s be honest, is where 90% of your student loan will vanish.
But the best part? The location means you can stumble home from a night out without needing a GPS. Just follow the sound of someone arguing about whether pineapple belongs on pizza. (It does, by the way—don’t @ me.)
It’s also right next to the War Memorial Park. So when you’re tired of your roommate’s dubstep playlist, you can go scream into a field. Or have a picnic. Your call.
Inside the beige box: The rooms and the vibes
The rooms are what you’d expect from purpose-built student accommodation: compact, functional, and eerily clean when you first move in. You get a bed, a desk, a wardrobe—the holy trinity of student living. Pro tip: bring your own lamp because the overhead light makes you look like you’re in an interrogation.
I had a standard en-suite, which meant I could sing in the shower without judging eyes. (Thin walls, though—my neighbour definitely heard my “Bohemian Rhapsody” phase. Sorry, Dave.) The shared kitchen is the real social hub. You’ll bond over burnt pasta, stolen milk, and the eternal debate about whose turn it is to take out the bins.
And yes, there are studio apartments if you’re an introvert or just really into your own farts. But honestly, the shared space is where the magic happens. You’ll find yourself making friends at 2 a.m. while microwaving a pizza. That’s the Gulsom way.
