The Upper and Lower Canal Basin areas are two popular options for students seeking accommodation near Chester University.
Many graduates and undergraduates looking for a home close to where they study are curious about which is better. While both locations have much to offer students, which is best depends on several factors.
Advantages of the Upper Canal Basin
Some students find the Upper Canal Basin superior for accommodation when they study at Parkgate Road campus or want to access its abundant amenities due to its proximity. The campus has outstanding amenities including a sports area, bank, bookshop, swimming pool, bar, fitness centre and science labs. Student lets are accessible on Cheyney Road, Granville Road, Gladstone Road and Sydney Road.
Benefits of the Lower Canal Basin
In walking distance of multiple campuses, the Lower Canal Basin offers student rooms in houses and apartments of varying size and price on Catherine Street, Seland Road, Whipcord Lane and Charlotte Street. Students who want easy access to all university locations and off-campus amenities like supermarkets, including Tesco, Aldi and Asda, affordable clothing stores and nightspots sometimes prefer properties in the Lower Canal Basin.
