For my accommodation during my time at the University, I chose Q3 Apartments. The price for the apartment was very reasonable, given its proximity to the University and the spacious room. I opted for a Deluxe Single and was very happy with the room I got. I was happy with a sturdy desk and bright lighting. I recommend Q3 Apartments for University students.
