One of the best places I have ever lived in. The cleanliness and organization are unmatched. As a PhD student, the place is extremely suitable and provides everything that supports studying—whether it’s a study hall or a private room where you can completely disconnect from the world and achieve a week’s worth of productivity in a single day. There are also meeting rooms available in case you have sessions with your work team or meetings on Teams. One of my absolute favorite things about the place is the gym—it’s amazing, equipped with most of the machines you could need, free of charge, and open 24 hours a day. Even late at night or at dawn, you’ll find people there (and may God include me among the righteous), surrounded by individuals who care about improving their bodies and keeping them in the best form. As for proximity to the university, it’s about a 20-minute walk, and the university’s free bus is available throughout the day. The only issue I faced at first was the presence of pets. I used to be afraid of them, but after some exposure and training, I now actually want to get a dog 🐶—and we remember the verse: “and their dog was stretching its forelegs at the entrance”. Animals have taught me a lot, so even this issue completely disappeared at The Castings. In summary, the place is excellent, and God willing, it will be a launching point toward a great future for you.

To make it absolutely perfect, if there were a shop inside that sells vegetables and fruits, it would be something we really need and would be used a lot. Translated by Reviewer: حتى يصبح بيرفكت جدا اذا شفتوا متجر لبيع الخضروات والفواكة داخله فنحتاجهم بكثره

The good aspects of living in my local area is that it is nice 20 minute walk into the city centre. There are local shops where you can do your food shop and has lovely outdoor areas where you can walk- along the canal, where there are lovely coffee shops. This area is near the train station, meaning it is very accessible to get to other places. There is parking available and bus routes near by, sometimes it’s hard to find a place to park on side streets, however there are lots of car parks. You can hear the traffic going by but it isn’t too loud.
