Halls of Residence
University accommodation is the perfect way to make friends, experience different cultures and create memories that last a lifetime.

Bryant Hall
Bryant Hall is our smallest hall of residence on campus, and is a great option for students who want to live in a tight-knit community.
College Hall
College Hall is our second largest hall on campus, bringing an energetic environment that supports aspirational students in their academic and sporting pursuits.
Student Village
Student Village provides student with a unique experience, living in pods of six students rather than spread across blocks of 50-60 students.
