A closer look at Clayhill halls of residence!

Here are a few things to note if you are interested in living in student accommodation, in particular Clayhill halls of residence!

One of the main reasons why I chose Clayhill was because of the ensuite toilets and great location! Although slightly further away from the Kingston town centre, Clayhill is just a short 15 mins walk away from Surbiton station and Penrhyn Road campus! Taking a direct train from Surbiton can easily get you into central London, Waterloo Station in 20 mins!

Clayhill also has a common room with a foosball table, table-tennis table and vending machines. The perfect place to chill and hangout with friends over a game of foosball or ping pong after class!

However, do note that the floors of the apartments at Clayhill are carpet (less the toilet and kitchen) so I recommend packing a pair of bedroom slippers when you move in! Also, the room doors at Clayhill are fire doors and auto-lock whenever they close! So always remember to leave your room with your keys whenever you step out! Depending on the configuration of the building, each room may vary slightly in size but Room 1 tends to always be the largest! The kitchen comes with a microwave, toaster and kettle and should also include two storage cupboards for you to store your cooking utensils and appliances!

Regardless of which student accommodation you choose, please remember to check the floor plans before deciding on which room, as different buildings have slightly different configurations so rooms may vary in size!

Thanks - how noisy are the halls of residence - and how many in each flat? Did you live in them? and do they normally allow foundation course students? Thanks in advance.

Will I get informed when I'm charged for cleaning. And how much is it per person?
