I’m going to be biased because I love Grizedale, but it seriously is the best college on campus!
I take Biology and Chemistry and it’s a 4 minute walk to the Biology lecture theatre for starters, where most 1
st year biomedical lectures take place. It’s also a 5 minute walk to alex square, and is a 2 minute walk to a Chinese restaurant, Central supermarket, Wib Wobs burger Bar and the management school.
Accommodation and Bar is all pretty much brand new. Really modern, great quality and nice. Townhouses are the most social, then probably standard, ensuite can be good, but a lot of international students opt for ensuite, which can lead them to being a bit quieter. I lived in a townhouse in my first year and made 11 great friends, several of whom I’ve remained very close with.
I’ve helped to organise freshers week this year and I can promise you it’s going to be epic! Got loads of great things planned.. there will be a free hog roast on the first night, The college staff organise one every year
We are known as being a bit of a social college, and were recently voted the most popular bar on campus by students from all over the uni.
Any questions about grizedale, freshers week or any other accom let me know.. I’ve also worked for the uni sorting accommodation so I’ve been in pretty much every single type on campus before.
