I lived at Scape Tribune for a year and it was heartbreaking to leave such an incredible place. The staff are ALWAYS kind, helpful and positive. This is a great place for people to stay who have moved away from home! Scape Tribune will quickly become your home away from home because of the amazing staff and free events they offer to meet new people. If you asked me which Scape building or any university accommodation to live in, my answer will always be Scape Tribune.
