Singer Hall

Singer Hall is the cheapest amongst uni halls, but still is expensive compared to other universities. It’s fairly close to the uni, around 10 mins walk to different buildings. Good thing about Singer is that it’s like an estate rather than block of flats. That means that there’s less surveillance from the security and means you can have friends overnight with no problems or have loud and late pre drinks in the kitchen. The general experience really depends on your flat mates. It could be either fun and chill or annoying. Flats are pretty old (standard ones, not superior) though they have everything that’s needed, apart from toilets that are shared outside the rooms. Everything is shared between 6 people and usually there’s no problem with that. There are 3 bathrooms: 1 toilet, 1 toilet + bath, shower. There’s cleaning once a week and trash removing every day. Generally everything works smoothly and it can be a really great year in halls if you feel the same vibes with your flat mates.

Good place, but too expensive for what it is. Its only a good place if you're lucky with your flatmates. It old and the kitchens are small. No communal area to chill

The location was convenient in that it was still in the city centre but far enough away to not be right in the hustle and bustle. The facilities were okay although the cooking equipment lacked a little. The shower blocked up easily. The rooms were a great size, plenty of space. Wish there was more of a communal space.

The location works quite well for most residents as it is pretty close to a lot of Uni buildings. The halls are quite well designed, with the individual flat system in separated blocks rather than a single hall. Quality-wise, the halls might need some renovation as a lot of flats look really old. One thing that’s a minus is an ensuite room. Sharing is not a problem if you have tidy and hygienic flatmates but waking up in the middle of the night, carrying your key (as you dont wanna get locked out at 2 am) to go to the bathroom is a hassle. Another minus is that the social space with the TV and the pool table and the arcade machine, is open until 5 pm only, which makes it a bad experience for those who have classes until 4 or maybe until 6 some days. When we actually need is at night which is when it is closed.

Not worth the money, the people are not very sociable. The area feels dangerous and I do not go out late at night
