which halls of residence are nearer to Avenue campus other than Highfield hall

Glen Eyre is probably the next closest! It's about a 10 minute walk - or a direct bus (you get a bus pass as part of your halls payments), and then after that it's Archers Road but that's a bit of a trek (and good luck trying to get a bus for a 9am!)

Hello!
Congratulations on your offer to study on the avenue campus! The closest halls to the avenue would be Glen Eyre halls , its a 24 minute walk or a 20 minute bus ride. Mayflower is quite an easy commute if you wanted more of a city vibe , its a 10 minute bus ride or a 37 minute walk.
Hope this is helpful! Don’t hesitate if you have any other questions.

ok Thank u is Archers road difficult to walk in the cold and nights?

Not really - it's a straight road right down the Avenue and then a side road. All well lit and if you're in Archers then you'll pass a shop or two for a quick stop for evening snacks
Maybe 10-15 minutes if you're a speedy walker?
