Our Award-Winning Student Accommodation: What You Loved About true
We’ve got some big news….and it’s not the kind you keep quiet.
StudentCrowd’s Student Voice Awards just dropped - and guess what? We’ve landed not one, not two but three wins across our locations. Here’s the breakdown:
- true Glasgow - 2nd place
- true Leicester - 2nd place
- true Birmingham - 3rd place
We’re beyond grateful, especially because the awards are based on honest feedback from you - the people who live there
Wait, what are the Student Voice awards?
The Student Voice Awards are run by StudentCrowd and judged entirely on student reviews. This year, over 22,000 reviews were analysed (yep, twenty-two thousand), rating everything from social spaces and WiFi to value for money and overall experience.
Only cities with five or more student accommodation properties were eligible - so the competition was real, and even getting shortlisted was no small thing. That’s why these wins matter so much. They're not someone else’s opinion. They're yours!

Big shoutout to true Salford
Okay, this bit’s important. true Salford couldn’t officially compete - the city didn’t have enough qualifying properties to meet the criteria. BUT. That didn’t stop the love.
StudentCrowd saw incredible reviews coming out of Salford. The feedback from students there was glowing, and the judging panel thought honestly, it deserved its own moment. So, it got a special mention from them, and we couldn’t be prouder.
What makes true... true?
We could talk about the great rooms, the design-led buildings, or the speedy WiFi - but that’s just the surface. At true student, everything we do is built around one thing: real student life. That means:
- Quiet zones when deadlines hit
- Events when you need a break
- Teams who actually know your name
- Study areas, social spots, AND somewhere to sleep that doesn’t feel like a shoebox
We know uni can be full-on. So we’ve created spaces that make it easier - not just to survive the term, but to enjoy it too.

Here's what you had to say
Sometimes, you say it better than we ever could:
true Glasgow
“I just LOVE staying here, everything is brand-new and well-managed.”
true Leicester
“The receptionists are very nice and welcoming. I enjoy staying here and being involved in events that the accommodation organises. Will I stay here again? Definitely.”
true Birmingham
“I'm very impressed with my dorm room. Firstly, it is surprisingly spacious, offering plenty of room to move around and store my belongings. The room was immaculate upon arrival, which was very appreciated. Additionally, the atmosphere is consistently peaceful and quiet, making it an ideal environment for both studying and relaxing. It's a wonderful place to call home during the semester.”
Thank you, again
These awards aren’t just about trophies. They’re about listening, growing, and continuing to create spaces that feel like home - wherever you’re coming from, and wherever you’re headed.
If you’re already part of the true fam: thank you.
If you’re thinking of joining: we’d love to meet you.
And if you just want to nosy around: that’s cool too.
Come see what makes us award winning: true student Accommodation
