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 ten other students. Choose from a standard room, an upgraded room or a luxurious premium room, with many including a washbasin within the room.

If you'd rather live in a house environment, 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 dining room.

Standard and upgraded rooms with shared bathrooms

An excellent choice for all budgets, standard rooms with shared bathrooms are available in several of our halls of residence. Many of these halls also include a personal washbasin within the room. You will share fully equipped, modern bathrooms and kitchen with six to ten other students in a traditional corridor style arrangement.

Rooms of this type at St. George's and Wessex Hall all include personal washbasins and have recently been upgraded. More details on upgraded rooms are available on the pages of individual halls.

What is a shared bathroom?

A shared bathroom means shared bathroom facilities as opposed to your own private en-suite. Toilets and showers are arranged into separate lockable cubicles accessible to all residents within that flat.

Defined gender bathrooms: the bathrooms within Wantage and Windsor Hall have defined gender bathrooms within the hall corridors.
