Students ‘moved out’ to make room for science festival

Ridiculous. They are out of contract from 1st July- the university accommodation provider are free to do what they want with their accommodation. This is sensationalism about a story that really doesn't exist. If I was staying in a hotel for a week and before I left they said that I could stay on but had to switch rooms, I'd be absolutely crazy to complain that I couldn't stay in my existing but pre-allocated room. Crazy. The accommodation provider are absolutely right to do what they choose, have given their students an option for extension (something they are not obliged to do) so this is simply a badly written article designed to give a university a bad name- something everyone seems all too ready to do these days!

m an MA student living in the Green and I’m also angry and disappointed by their luck of moral. I was also told that I would be able to extend the contract to stay over summer before I made contract with the accommodation. They may be legally right but morally wrong considering student accommodations are supposed to offer good learning environment. We will be focusing on our dissertation in July and it is a serious disturbance of our study to have to move out in July. Many of the residents are international students and don’t know how to express their anger and confusion they felt when they received the announcement from the Green. It seems like the company is taking advantage of the students’ disadvantageous position. There will be many students coming to the uni from my country this September and I will be asked where to live by them. I would not recommend the Green to them because there are many other options, which are close to uni and never kick out students in the middle of their study.
