Stay in halls whatever your year of study

There are loads of reasons why students choose to return to halls after their first year. For some it's another opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. For others it's the convenience of having on-site security and maintenance, friendly reception teams and all your bills included in the rent. Whatever your reason, we look forward to welcoming you back again next year.

Halls life is better when you want to make new friends and socialise. It's also safer and it's a great environment. I chose halls again because I wanted to make the most out of my student life and a house doesn't feel as cosy.

Reception staff are always welcoming and respond appropriately to your queries! The maintenance team are accessible and thorough. Not to mention very patient - the amount of times I’ve locked myself out of my flat is ridiculous!
