Unite Students – Orion Point – Student Reviews

Orion point is really nice private accom would say its a bit on the pricer side compared to other accoms.

My experience living in this en-suite uni accommodation has been pretty decent overall. The room is a good size with a private bathroom, which makes life a lot easier — especially compared to sharing. It’s nothing overly fancy, but it’s comfortable and has all the basics covered. One of the standout features is the on-site gym. It’s not massive, but it’s well-equipped and super convenient, especially if you’re trying to stay active without the hassle of a full gym membership. Definitely a nice bonus. The maintenance team is usually quick to respond, although there have been a couple of times where things took a bit longer than expected. Communal spaces are generally clean, and the atmosphere is chill — you can get your work done, but also socialize if you want to. It’s not perfect, but for student accommodation, it hits a nice balance between comfort and practicality. Would recommend if you’re looking for privacy, decent amenities, and a gym inside.

The letting agency offers a variety of rooms from en suites to large studios, i feel like they will allow for the occupants to have an easier time customising their room to how they see fit.

Orion point is on the bit more expensive side but comes with a gym and good common room area that makes up for it. The workers of Orion respond quickly and make sure everything is good

The private accommodation is nicely refurbished and is large size. The rooms are fitted with en suites and a shared kitchen between 4-5 people however the price is abit on the expensive side.

Mercury Point offers decent student living—rooms are functional and the location is convenient. Could use some updates and better maintenance, but overall it’s a fair option for the price.

I’ve had an amazing experience at Orion Point from start to finish. The staff are incredibly friendly, helpful, and always go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly. The facilities are top-notch—clean, modern, and well-maintained, with everything you need right at your fingertips. The location is perfect too, close to transport links, shops, and everything else you could need. I’ve felt safe, comfortable, and truly at home here. Highly recommend Orion Point to anyone looking for a high-quality place to live!

Orion Point is high-end, with a beautiful view and in a quiet area. The appliances are of good standard, and the rooms have all the essentials

This accommodation wasn’t awful for the price, but since leaving, it has gone up and isn’t great for the value. In my first semester at University, I spent three months in a hotel, as a burst pipe made two of the three blocks inhabitable. The rooms were decent, and the Wi-Fi was good, along with the en-suite. It was all modern, which was good, and that was it.

Orion Point has an aesthetically pleasing design and is geographically in a brilliant position, being close to town and the University. Would recommend.

I loved living in Orion Point. The accomodation was of a brilliant standard and the facilities were top notch.

My stay here was one of the best, the gate at the front of the accommodation along with the big courtyard made me feel safe when I was there. The rooms and kitchen accommodated me well and I felt extremely comfortable. There is a good atmosphere in that place and the payment method allowed for ease of pay so I didn’t have to struggle making payments.

Good 24/7 security system, which allows me to feel safe wherever I am within the vicinity. Also like the common room, containing a pool table, table tennis and a dart board it allows me to meet new people whilst playing fun games like these
