Robbins Hall

Campus convenience in the Student Village
Robbins halls of residence
Nestled in the centre of the Student Village, this lively hall is great value for money and is situated directly opposite the main University campus. Robbins Hall has a really strong community feel and it's a great place to meet new people. With the city centre literally on your doorstep, you'll find everything you need within a few minutes' walk. Robbins Hall has 268 standard and loft rooms and 162 en suite rooms.

I did a lot of research and made Robbins Hall my first choice. It's cheap and cheerful. The place feels like it's lived in and it's close to campus, close to the village and I have a lovely balcony, which is great. It's really affordable so I have lots of money left over to buy groceries and to go out!
