I'm going to Bradford, although I'm studying Business and management.

I have put a deposit of a room in university/ Bradford halls and I've got a room in university halls on campus.

These were the rooms I saw when I went to visit and they seemed OK. Nothing special but they didn't look awful.

I am at the Uni at the moment. From what i've seen all the Uni-run halls are the same. There is a new set just built and will cost you over £3000 if you havent already got anything sorted.

Arkwright halls is where i lived last year and are staying there again this one. They cost just over £3000 but are all en-suite, less than 5 mins from the uni, and were only built a few years ago so are brilliant condition. Plus the rooms are larger than those run by the Uni

I'm going to Bradford too. To Business and management 1 year :rolleyes:
I was late to book my accommodation so i got my room in Revis Barber hall :frown:
Does anybody know how is it?:eek:
Hi folks. :smile:

I am an international student from Pakistan hoping to attend Bradford University this fall; I'll be studying undergrad Mechenical Engineering. I know it's a bit late but for those in the know, which halls out of these will you recommend. The primary deciding factor for me would be the distance from the campus.

Bradford & Uni Halls
Charles Morris Hall
Dennis Bellamy Hall
Kirkstone Hall
Longside Hall
Revis Barber Hall
Trinity 'B' and 'C' Houses

I know at this point of time, the best ones will be probably be all gone, but any information about the relative merits of the above halls will be much appreciated. :smile:

I'll also be interested in your opinions about private accomodation compared to Uni designated one. Is the uni accomodation, on average, much costlier then private? any particular area which is reasonably clean and low-pricey which you can recommend for private accomodation?

Thanks. :smile:

Bradford & Uni Halls are the closes and on the main campus along with Kirkstone Hall and Longside Hall also on the main campus. Trinity 'B' and 'C' Houses, Charles Morris Hall, Dennis Bellamy Hall and Revis Barber Hall are about a 5 min walk from the campus, being on the laisteridge lane site.

Revis Barber Hall is post graduate accomodation however you may be allocated that if no room in other halls.

I know sairox got Revis Barber Hall because he applyed late.

I'm staying in university halls but I applyed early, a really long time ago.

I don't know much about private I'm affraid as I never looked into it. Although it does seem abit more costly then the basic halls. The unipol owned halls are all ensuit and cost £71.50 a week :smile:
Thanks for the information. :smile:

I got a pack from the UBU which gave me loads of junk leaflets and whats going on for the week and other stuff. Did you apply late though clearing? Maybe thats why you haven't got it yet?

If not google the UBU website, that has information on! :smile:
