Information about Halls of Residence at Herts
A few of you are starting to ask questions about the accommodation in Herts in lots of different threads. I figured someone should make a post where all these questions can go. Also any information current students has about the different halls etc. can be put here. I'll kick off with what I know about the accommodation.
Hatfield College Lane Campus
This is the main campus at the University of Hertfordshire. The majority of the accommodation if a few minutes walk to the main classrooms and administration buildings. Also the Student's Union, the bars and shop as well as the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). Close to the accommodation is a football pitch and floodlit tennis courts available for student use. The nearest shopping centre and town centre is just a short walk or bus ride away. Should you wish to bring a bicycle, there are racks situated around the campus, as well as sheds in some halls.
Hatfield Campus - Halls of Residence

That's where I am now. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else
With all our engineers, you could MAKE a fridge!!
Or at least a bag of ice cubes to slowly defrost on your floor...
In winter you can just use the window seal.

Ohhhh, didn't think of that. Considering I now know for sure that Fern has wash basins in the rooms, and a network connection, then I am considering.
So are you and Dan putting each others names down on the application form so you can stay on the same floor? As if I remember correctly you can be placed with people you know............dunno how that would work on the halls accommodation though?

It says right here http://perseus.herts.ac.uk/uhinfo/info/accommodation/rs_faq.cfm that smoking is allowed inside one's bedroom except at the de Havilland Campus. Is that true?

While I don't know, i doubt very much it's not true, since it's on their own website.
