My experience of living inUniversity residences over thepast four years has been verypositive. The campus residencesprovide an excellent balancebetween having your ownindependent space in the city,and having the support of thefriendly management andaccommodation team. TheHalls have a friendly peacefulatmosphere and are a greatplace to live and study.
