Student Accomdation at the University of Plymouth

Im starting in September 2023 and Im currently in the process of applying for student accomdation.

My options for the halls are:
-Gilwell
-Radnor
-Robbins

I would like to be in a place which has a very good social atmostphere. I don't have any alcohol restrictions nor do I mind being with people of the opposite gender. However I do want a private bathroom.
Overall I just want to be in a fun environment but not a complete party house.

Which would you recommend between these three?

Hi @Rushil01,

Halls at the University of Plymouth are where you'll experience some of the greatest fun and create some of the best memories during your University journey. In terms of your three chosen options, the initial difference between them is the cost and some of their facilities, all are super close to campus (which may have a 20 second difference in walking time to main campus) and all are just around the corner from shops and entertainment facilities.

Lets go through them one by one - I have provided the links below to check them out further where you can also watch a guided video tour of the corresponding accommodation:


Gilwell

If you're looking for value for money and a sociable atmosphere, then Gilwell Hall is ideal. Situated in the Student Village directly opposite the main University campus, Gilwell Hall has a really strong community feel and it's a great place to meet new people.

This hall has 197 standard and loft rooms and all flats have shared facilities.

All flats in Gilwell Hall have shared facilities.
