LIVING IN HALLS

Halls are so handy to live in, they are usually located on campus or very near to where you are studying.
Most halls are usually quite well looked after and come with communal showers, kitchens and single bedrooms. And if you have the £ and like living like a Toff you might find your self in an en-suite room in halls.

Another benefit of halls is that you are permanently with other students, so the buzz and the crack can be the business at times.

Good points about living in halls

• Usually nicely furnished and kept clean by university staff. (But you will still have to wash up after yourself).
• If any problems ie no heating, no electricity the university/college will usually fix the faults immediately.
• Most halls have wardens or senior residents so minor problems like your next door neighbour comes to life at 3am can be easily solved.
• Very little to be spent on travelling from university/college to halls.
• You don't miss out on parties as they circulate like wild fire.
• Some halls have there own en-suite rooms which means you don't have to share the jacks or the shower with anyone else.
• You meet some brilliant & also some weird people.

Bad points

• If you muck about and damage equipment in halls you could be thrown out of university or college.
• Sometimes halls work out a little bit more expensive than private/rented accommodation.
• If you decide to have a fire extinguisher water fight you could be fined heavily again I am speaking from experience.
• Usually the walls between the rooms are very light, so if you get lucky or pull some night keep the noise down.
• Some universities don't let you live in halls every year. So when you are getting settled you might have to move out.

N.B. Each University/College have their own guidelines concerning halls please refer to them for their own guidelines and terms and conditions.
