Experience GEC King Edward

It is friendly, comfortable and I would also say homely for the students ! The staff is quick at responding to the questions and issues, if we face any. I came to know about GEC from my school website's accommodation section. I even emailed back to my school about this place being really good for us international students and asked them to recommend GEC to any student who asks about good and secured home thats at affordable price and quite near to school as well ! <3 :D - Sample review from other GEC residences
