Anglia house is generally a nice place to live. The rooms are nice; the beds are comfy ish, and the kitchens are spacious and have good equipment. The common room and study room are nice (I haven’t been able to use either much this year because of Covid). The location is good; it is near a Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, and more. However, the security team at night/weekends is not great. That’s the only con. It’s really changed my views about living here next year.
