Glen Eyre

Selborne; Chancellor's Court, Glen Eyre. I was on the ground floor of Selborne for my first yesterday of uni. It was an okay building with lovely enhanced bedrooms with lots of storage. My room overlooked the green which was especially lovely in summer. The internet was fantastic (until we very accidentally kicked a football at the router). It was only a short walk away from uni so I could always lie in before lectures, however it was a trek to get to, and especially from, any clubs and bars. Other flats in Selborne were fantastic for socialising with other flats, however that wasn't the case for ours. We had a very small kitchen and the door to the flat went straight outside so we didn't have other flats in our corridor we could get to know. However, we formed a close knit group with in our flat and 3 of us still live together 3 years later. Overall it was a fantastic place to start my uni experience.

Hartley Grove - close to campus, en suite was great, spacious room with high ceilings. Communal atmosphere with fab neighbours, not too loud and quiet during exam period. Great storage facilities in room and nice view, close to Chamberlain so near friends.

Great location being near the university! The fact you get given a free bus pas for uni busses with halls really helped as you could travel into the city for free aswell! The university offered ensuite rooms which meant you don’t have to share a bathroom, which was very spacious, and so were the bedrooms. I would say that the more people in the flat the better as you have more chances of meeting people you get along with.

Very sociable halls. Really big as well so there's bound to be loads of people on your course living there which makes making friends and meeting up easier. Bonus gym just behind reception and lots of BBQ pits and grass for summer

Absolutely loved it. Good sized room, en suite, lovely kitchen with lots of space. Most modern halls at the University. Double bed is also good

Chamberlain Halls Good as close to uni 10 minutes walk Bad as too quite and not enough going on during the day / evening Good size bedroom with queen single bed and en suite. New Halls kept very clean Room sizes of 8 to 10 people 2 flats per floor but bad as only 50 students per building 5 blocks with separate access keys Large common room area with huge TVs

Cleaners are always good and the halls are a good location from the university but far away from everything else, the hot water is always going off, poor Wi-Fi, there is social spaces but no one uses them, reception are often rude and maintenance men have locked me out of my room a couple of times, and if I get locked out three times I get charged which is stupid.

Glen halls is very good. It’s the closest one to the main Highfirld campus. Bus connectivity is not great but you don’t need to take the bus to go to University. Good computer room, good greeery and common room with play station and board games.

The university halls at Southampton at Glen eyre depended very much on the individual hall. The white buildings towards the back were better quality whereas the older redbrick buildings were quite shabby and cold in the winter.

I applied for glen eye ensuite halls with a shared kitchen and it was a wondering experience where I was able to maintain my privacy but also make friends for life.

Best halls in Southampton. Close to university. Have an amazing computer room which is open 24*7. Good common room arrangements. Pretty quiet for people who do not want too much noise.

My whole flat was unsociable and frankly unsettling, the location is awful and everyone in chamberlain is pretty boring ngl.

The location of the Glen Eyre Halls is excellent! Is quiet and has lots of green spaces. When the sun is shinning and is hot outside you can use the grills provided and have a great time with your friends. During this time you can see how many people are in these halls (spoiler alert: there are many). The activities that happen here are a downside because there aren't so many throughout the year. But that didn't stopped anyone from using the social areas and create a spontaneous event. The rooms are very good, with enough space for all your things.

In close proximity to campus with only a 10minute walk to lectures. Nice outside area with BBQ opportunities. Lots of events such as outside screenings. Flats cleaned twice a week with good recycling facilities

Chamberlain: Really good location near campus, really nice rooms with good shelves and a nice double bed, lots of kitchen space, light switch near bed which is convenient, good water pressure in shower and turns hot as soon as you turn it on. Also plug near bed which is convenient for phone charging. Big desk. However, quite small room with little floor space. Because need electronic fob hard to socialise and if leave flat door open then beeps so hard to meet other flats

Not bad just that its far away from everything. but thumbs up for being super close to uni. My flat has a massive kitchen thou, laundry is super far away but oh well

Halls are not as pleasant as mayflower, due to not being as modern. However, the may look outdated but they are clean and have a lot more room than other halls. Only down fall is no power shower. But halls are so close to uni, so you’ll never miss a 9am, can’t say the same for those in mayflower. The night life are glen is amazing and get a good mixed bunch of people opting for this accommodation too! Would recommend.

Good location close to university (15 minute walk). Facilities are good, cleaned twice weekly communal areas. Gym and squash courts on site. Laundry room on site. Reception open 24/7 and very helpful

Location of God, silent calm and close to the uni. Although quite a distance to centre. My shower had no pressure and this issue next got resolved by maintenance. Occasionally no hot water.

I was in Hartley Grove under Glen Eyre/Chamberlain. The en suite rooms were a nice size, fairly narrow but long and had lots of storage. Location good as 5-10 minute walk away from uni. Having a ground floor kitchen next to a footpath meant everyone walking past could see you but you got used to it! Carpet was quite old and could have been cleaned before I arrived as all my hair stuck to it, bathroom smelt weird occasionally but otherwise fine. Kitchen fairly good size for 6 people in total, good fridge and freezer space. Fairly social halls, could easily hear people in the kitchen though.

The accommodation is a reasonable size, however it is aged. There is a good study area opposite where I was staying that I often went to write my essays. The doors were secure and my room was big, it was ventilated well with a large window. There is student support near by that visited us once when we had a problem, they handled the situation well and make sure everything was okay. It would be nice if the halls allowed small pets.

Best people ever Worst WiFi ever Radiator never worked Really bad oven with no heat settings Badly laid out kitchen Broken security door Shower flooded every day Tiny bed Mouldy shower curtain Good sized desk Loads of storage space

I had an ensuite room and it flooded literally every time you showered because the floor was the same level throughout the entire room, the shower curtain was gross and stuck to you all the time, the radiators never worked and there were only single beds which were tiny. The security door to the block never worked so anyone could have come in whenever they wanted. The kitchen was tiny and The oven had no heat settings written on it so you just had to Cooke everything on full heat and hope for the best. The WiFi was so bad. Only good thing was the area and the people
