The Village
There are eight halls of residence in The Village, each with its own distinctive features and range of room types/prices. We also offer a range of fantastic converted properties - mostly Edwardian villas and lodges, built before the First World War. Each house is unique and each room is different, with amazing features that include wood-panelled walls and secret gardens. The appeal of The Village halls is not just the buildings, but also the amazing amount of green space around them – including the University’s own beautiful Botanic Garden.

They’re convenient for the city centre and railway station too, as well as for facilities such as the Library and the Danielle Brown Sports Centre. Most of the rooms are ensuite.
