Halls of residence
Bars
Our halls of residence are hives of social activity on all our campuses. Each University owned hall has its own bar for students to relax and enjoy, four of which also serve a range of freshly cooked food.
Third party student halls also all have bars, except St Peter's Court which has an on-site gym where you can meet people and keep fit.
Common rooms
All halls have common rooms or shared spaces where students meet and socialise. There are also other social facilities in some of the halls such as games rooms, pool tables, table tennis and tennis courts.
Many of our halls also have Junior Common Room Committees which organise regular social events for their residents.
Mature students and international students
Mature students and international students can also enjoy dedicated activities and events.
