Halls of residence
Will I be given a place in the old or new halls of residence?
You will be given a room in the new or old halls depending on when your course starts.
If you are allocated to the old hall of residence you will move automatically into the new halls when the final phase (Phase 2) becomes ready (expected to be December 2007).
You will not have to pay the higher rent for the new halls while you are still in the old halls.

What are the hall fees?

You sign an Accommodation Licence for 42 weeks including the Christmas and Easter Vacations and must pay for the whole 42 weeks unless you can find a suitable replacement student to take up your tenancy.
Normally you can only stay in a hall for your first year but it is usually easy to find private housing for other years and we will give you advice during the year about how to do this.
