Notably, Novel Student achieved the Gold Certification in its first year of participation in the GSL survey and only its second year of operations in the UK. This remarkable accomplishment underscores Novel Student’s commitment to excellence and its ability to create an outstanding living environment for their students.
The GSL certification is granted to student accommodation providers that meet rigorous standards across seven key metrics that constitute the GSL Index Score. These metrics include condition and quality, bedroom, value for money, care and support, recycling and environmental facilities, overall management, and internet. To achieve this certification level, a provider must surpass the set thresholds in all seven metrics, showcasing their dedication to meeting and exceeding student expectations.
