Decent student accommodation. Breakfast 5 days a week, typically a selection of pastries, and the housekeeping team clean the studio fortnightly. Housekeeper particularly stands out as they go the extra mile to ensure the room is cleaned to a high standard and is ready for your return. Price is higher than other student accommodations but Vita provides very comfortable living.

Living at Vita First Street is like a home away from home. Every day the people that work here make you feel so welcome! You can ask anything and they will always help you, give you support and guidance about the local area, or be there for a good chat when you feel like it. Also, shout out to my cleaner who always does a great job and has a smile on their face! There are so many benefits to living at Vita: a beautiful gym, common area, movie room, study room, (FREE!!) coffee machine, and breakfast. I've lived in other student accommodations before and nothing compares. The best part for me is the weekly events, such as Spa evenings, coffee connoisseur events, and even recruitment days for students who are looking for internships and jobs after they leave Uni. The location of the first street feels really safe, right by a cinema and the best Indian restaurant.

Nice experience! There’s a very lovely receptionist here and they're so enthusiastic and kind. There are lots of events from Monday to Friday and my favorite is absolutely the cook-up events every Thursday. I don’t need to prepare anything just wait for my kit delivered to me! People here are welcoming and helpful. The breakfast every day is delicious, but it would be better if more kinds of food like eggs or bacon could be added because I’m a meatarian.😂 After all, I love her just like I’m at home!
