Halls combine academic support, and social events and activities, into a student experience that you won't find anywhere else.

Most dietary requirements are catered for whether they are based on health, religious or ethnic reasons. Casual meals or meal plans are available at University Hall if you are staying in a self-catered apartment on campus.
