What to check about included meals
Not all "meals included" arrangements are equal. Confirm specifically: how many meals per day (2 or 3), what the typical weekly menu looks like, whether vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are consistently available, and what time meals are served. Ask to sample a meal during your viewing. An included meal at the wrong time for your timetable is not useful, confirm that meal times align with your class schedule.
What to check about included Wi-Fi
Run a speed test (via speedtest.net on your phone) during your viewing visit. Advertised "Wi-Fi included" means nothing if the actual speed is 2 Mbps shared among 30 residents. Minimum usable academic standard: 10 Mbps per resident at peak hours. Ask specifically: what is the broadband speed, how many residents share it, and whether there are usage caps or throttling.
· Is Wi-Fi truly unlimited, or are there data caps?
· What speed have current residents experienced at peak hours (7-9pm)?
· Is there power backup that keeps Wi-Fi running during power cuts?
· Are all three meals included, or just 2?
· What happens to meal provision during college holidays when residents stay?
