Pilgrim Hall

University life on your doorstep
Pigrim Halls of Residence
One of our most popular halls, Pilgrim Hall is located in the centre of the vibrant Student Village. With the city centre literally on your doorstep, you'll find everything you need within a few minutes' walk. This hall has 237 en suite rooms.

I chose to live in University-managed halls because I feel like you know what you're getting with it and it is quite reliable.
