Which universities have the best accommodation?I know that each university offers varying levels of accommodation (with more luxurious rooms being more expensive), but which university offers the best accommodation in general? In terms of facilities, design, etc

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?Certain halls at Lee's are amazing - I'm thinking Charles morris and James ballie park.
Most unis have some good and some bad accommodation. I hope you're not going to base your uni choice on the accommodation. -

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?After trekking around a million universities in the past 6 months, I'd say that Bangor's accommodation was nice in terms of space and cleanliness. Alsooooo... Kent was cute as the one I saw was a little house rather than a dormitory.

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?Yes Sheffield's new block is amazing, and not too expensive. Birmingham also have a nice new block, but expensive - more than the whole of my maintenance loan for a year!(Original post by Iron Lady)

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?leeds is nice...especially the storm jameson rooms in charles morris!
i wasn't a fan of the accommodation at Nottingham...when i visited one particular hall smelt of urine.
sheffield/ birmingham/ bristol are also nice.Last edited by Sheikh {/} Nykaa; 22-04-2012 at 16:10. -

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?it depends what you're looking for - if you want clean, modern buildings with good facilities, go for newer unis or ones that have just been refurbished.
if you prefer old buildings with history and character, go to old unis.
the thing is, there are lots of things more important than accomodation - especially as you'll probably only be in uni accomodation for one year. make a list of say, your top 10 according to other things such as course, grade requirements, distance from home/partner/places you like, student life, clubs available etc.
then come back and we'll be able to give you a better idea of which uni accomodation is good. -

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?No-one is really going to be able to give much information about universities other than their own, but I imagine whichever university you go to there will be lots of different types - from en-suite to sharing a bathroom with a few people, to catered and non-catered. My room is quite a nice size but some friends in cheaper rooms have smaller rooms as you might expect!

Re: Which universities have the best accommodation?I may be biased, but I have to agree- there are plenty of universities out there which have our typical en-suite, double bed, modern kitchen dealies as the expensive option...(Original post by Sir Fox)
I've never been there, but from what I heard RHUL has some great accommodation. Founders (old and looks like a castle from fairytales) vs. Williams, Tukes and Butlers etc. ...
But not many that can say that by choosing the cheapest halls, you'll be living in a castle.
There is genuinely not a single type of accommodation on campus that I wouldn't want to live in- one of the reasons I'm returning to halls for third year! Plus the range of prices and options is amazing for what is a relatively small university. -
