Plymouth student community

Community

Student life in Plymouth feels energetic and outdoorsy, with the coastline shaping how students spend their time outside of uni. It’s common to head straight from lectures to the seafront, meet friends by the marina or plan weekend trips to Royal William Yard or the Devon coast.

 

There’s always something happening, from live music and events to casual nights out in the city centre. With everything close together and plenty to see and do, Plymouth offers a student experience that feels both active and easy-going.

Testimonials

Astor is a really great accommodation, the staff are really friendly and always eager to help, I always felt comfortable there.

Elizabeth, iQ Astor House

I’ve been staying at IQ Astor House for over a month now, and I’m really happy with my experience. The staff are very helpful and friendly, always ready to assist whenever needed. My room is clean, well-maintained, and in great condition, with no maintenance issues at all. The washroom is fully equipped, and every room has a heater, even though it wasn’t mentioned at the time of booking.

I live on the 6th floor, and the lift works perfectly, making it very convenient. The IQ app is regularly updated and easy to use, which helps manage everything smoothly. The Wi-Fi is super-fast, and I’ve had no connection issues.

The laundry area is convenient, and the location is excellent — Tesco supermarket is just nearby, making shopping easy. My online orders and packages are handled safely by the IQ staff, who manage them with great care. Privacy is also well respected here.

I’ve spoken with many friends who live in other student accommodations, and most of them aren’t fully satisfied — but everyone I know at Astor House is happy. Overall, it’s great value for money and one of the best options for international students at the University of Plymouth.

Highly recommended!
