See what current students think of their accommodation and the Falmouth lifestyle.

"I had a brilliant experience in student accommodation. There was an amazing group of people and it was very sociable. The advice I’d give to students moving in is: don’t be scared! I was, but as soon as I arrived, I felt like I was home."
