Rooms with shared bathrooms
If you are looking for the traditional halls experience, a room with a shared bathroom is a great choice. You'll share kitchen and bathroom facilities with six to 10 other students. Choose from a standard room, an upgraded room or a luxurious premium room. Many rooms include a washbasin.
If you'd rather live in a house rather than a hall of residence, our townhouses on campus might be the best choice. Each house splits 12 rooms over three floors, with four bedrooms and two bathrooms on each floor. The ground floor of each house features a large modern kitchen, a lounge and a dining room.
