There are thirteen Halls which vary in age, size and character, but all are within easy reach of Whiteknights and Bulmershe, and provide a range of study, domestic and social facilities. Most of the Hall rooms are single study-bedrooms with handbasins and with shared bathroom facilities. Each Hall has a library, common room, computer room, television room and a laundry. Some have a music room, games room and tennis courts. With the exception of Sibly Hall, Sherfield Hall, Bulmershe Court and Hillside Court where students prepare their own meals, each Hall has a central dining room which serves three meals a day from Monday to Friday and two meals a day at weekends.
All students have a key to their own room, and to the outside door if needed.
All the Halls are within reasonable walking distance of shops, a bank, a post office and a bus route into the town. Car parking spaces are limited at some of the Halls. Each Hall has a Warden, who is a member of the Academic Staff. Other members of the University also live in Hall and, like the Warden, are able to give help and advice to students. We try to find rooms in Halls for as many new postgraduate students as possible, especially those from overseas, although the demand for some types of accommodation, particularly in Halls where students can cook their own food, is always greater than the available supply.
