Find out if you're splitting a £100 e-voucher with a bestie

Thank you to everyone who entered the competition, there were so many lovely stories of lifelong friendships being formed within halls!

There can only be one winning duo though, and we can reveal they are...

Kelsey Tsuchiyama & Elizeh Basim

Kelsey had this to say about Elizeh and their friendship: 

"As soon as Elizeh and I were introduced by a mutual friend, we instantly hit it off. Though I like to joke that we wouldn't be best friends if we didn't live in the same accommodation, there is some truth in this joke. Our relationship was able to flourish because of how often and easily we were able to see each other with it taking less than 5 minutes, door to door, to get to each other's rooms. I have spent countless nights in her room doing everything from studying, to pouring our hearts out, to getting too competitive playing video games. I was even voted "Best Non-Actual Flatmate" by her flat. I am so grateful that she lives in the same accommodation because it allowed us to spend so much time together. Though of course I am more grateful that Elizeh is Elizeh because this wouldn't have happened with just anyone."

Congratulations! Make sure to check your emails, we will be in touch with your prize :)

Keep an eye out for the next competition for arrivals!

What makes a friend a "best friend"? The memories you share, the hurdles you've overcome or the stuff you do together? There's no right or wrong answer, but we want to know how one friend became one of your besties during your time living with us.

By nominating a friend and explaining how they earned that bestie status, you have a chance of winning a £100 e-voucher to share between you two!

Enter by Wednesday 31st July, you and your friend must be or have been living at Sanctuary student accommodation. Please provide both your university email and your friend's university email.

Good luck and cheers to all the besties in the world!
