The flats have 24-hour security and a reception desk for students' safety.

Features

The Toybox offers 4 types of Studio and 6 types of En-suite rooms to suit the needs of students, with the En-suite offering separate bedrooms and bathrooms. In contrast, the shared kitchen and living room can be used as a space for roommates to socialise and learn from each other. At the same time, the Studio is more suited to those who prefer to be on their own, with a separate kitchen and living area and the freedom to enjoy a completely private living environment. In addition to the cosy rooms, the student accommodation has plenty of facilities in the communal areas. Quiet study rooms are perfect for students who prefer to revise alone, while those who like to exercise can burn off energy in the gym. And remember to check the website often for the cinema room schedule. If you find it too stuffy indoors, you can relax by walking in the courtyard.
