The time that I spent at the Spireworks accommodation was fantastic! The rooms were new and welcoming with bright colors. The lounge is a great place to spend time with friends and play games. The dining room was a great place to host a small party with friends, and the study room was a large space that had good lighting and comfortable chairs and desks. The gym is small but has everything that a person needs to get a good workout in. This accommodation has everything a student needs and more including an amazing accommodation manager, Christian, who ensured that everyone was happy. He is phenomenal at his job and helps the residents in anyway that he can.
