Kingston uni best halls to stay

Hello i am going to kingston university at knights park this September!
I don’t live in England so I did not had chance to visit the uni and therefore have zero clue about specific information.

Which halls do you guys recommend the most? I would like halls where students socialise the most and overall has great atmosphere!

Im from Spain! Omg i never actually visited kingston so really just going with my guts feeling😂 how did you find the uni though? true i heard that Clayhill and Middle mill often had some problems with heating stuff... Saw someone saying Seething Wells has fun nightlife long time ago but i am not sure anymore:frown: i think im going to choose between Kingston Bridge, seething wells or iq(?), although i am 0% certain on anything. Hbu?
Yh I visited quite a lot of uni’s but kingston is the only one that’s creative department wasnt a complete **** hole lmao yh i looked at kingston bridge too, i think i was just drawn to clay hill because of the number of rooms so more people?
If you're studying at Knights Park (Kingston School of Art) I'd go for Middle Mill Hall as it's literally 100m from the campus. I stayed there during my first year of study (2014-15) and I really enjoyed it! Although it's one of the smallest halls of residence (around 250 rooms) there's quite a strong community feel with Knights Park's Student Union Bar on your doorstep which is a great place to socialise and meet new people!
It was completely refurbished in the summer of 2014 so I basically moved into a brand new flat. It's also in the most convenient and pleasant location in my opinion ( being built on the banks of the Hogsmill river and a short walk to town). Other halls are out of the way and gloomy; Clayhill Hall is literally plotted between the railway and a cemetery, Kingston Bridge House is a refurbished office block tower and Seething Wells is an ex-mental asylum.

To anyone that is going to Kingston school of art, knights park campus. Middle Mill halls are the best out of seething wells and clayhill. It’s a 30 sec walk to uni. You have to share kitchen and bathroom but it’s so calm! Just thought I’d let you know in case anyone is in the same predicament that I was in last year when choosing accommodations.
I'm in my 2nd YR at kights park doing Architecture, its a wicked campus and you'll really love Kingston (lots of student stuff going on) I stayed at ViBe my first year and here again this year, loads of 1st years stay at ViBe as Kingston halls are really out dated and ViBe is literally 5 minutes walk to Knights park
It has been a year so I wanted to ask which accommodation did you decide on and your opinions on it? thank you.
