Testimonials

Jenny Beard was a student at Leeds Art University and stayed at Marsden House, iQ Student Accommodation in Leeds. As a painter, Jenny had plenty of freedom to perfect her art in her accommodation. Here’s what she had to say: 

“I kinda turned my iQ room into my makeshift studio, because I didn’t always have access to the university studio, and it kind of really made it feel more like my own. It was really great to be able to escape from my room, from focusing on my work, to take my mind off it –  hang out with my flatmates in the kitchen, or go to the communal spaces to really get out of any artistic funks I might have been in. So, it was good to get away but still be on the same site.”
