University of the West of England Student Village

Mendip Court is one of 4 courts at the Frenchay Student Village. It is a large courtyard holding approximately 500 students. The flats are divided into roughly 6 floors with two 6 bedroom flats in each. Each bedroom is en-​suite which is a luxury for a student! Additionally there is Internet, TV point, desk, single bed and adequate storage in each room. At the end of the corridor there is a living area which consists of two large fridge freezers, a sofa and chairs, breakfast bar, two cookers and plenty of storage.
The sofas are a bit rubbish to be honest — they are more what you would expect in a doctors waiting room but I guess you get used to it! Apart from that, I can complain. Everything is pretty much brand new. I have actually heard rumours that these halls have been voted the best in the country. Bills are all included, however the rent is very expensive (about £5,100 per year).
There is a huge sense of community in the courtyards and by the end of the year you pretty much know every student in your court which is nice. Word of warning — we ordered a stripper for my friends 21^st birthday and the wardens got VERY angry when they spotted a naked man running through the courtyards wearing only a Great Britain flag. We got in a lot of trouble… (it was worth it though!)
