Community

Your College is much more than a hall of residence; it's also where you'll do a lot of your studying and socialising. How much time you spend in your College is up to you. For some students, their College is simply the place where they sleep and attend supervisions. For most, though, it provides experiences and friendships that can last a lifetime.

Location

The Colleges are located across the city and all are within walking or cycling distance of the city centre and the academic faculties and departments.
