Accommodation in general

The provision of accomodation besides that of the university in Hull, is excellent. There is a surplus of student accomodation in Hull so it is easy to find somewhere nice and inexpensive to live. The majority of the accomodation is based around the Newland Avenue/Beverly Rd area which is also a busy area of shops and pubs. Theres a large number of different accomodation agencys to choose from, every year the university newspaper runs a survey of students on what they think of their landlords, the results are published in the newspaper and should also be available from the union themselves. House sizes range from those for 2 people up to massive houses for 14, if you ...  Read the complete review

At the moment I'm a first-year student at the Scarborough campus of Hull uni. The summer of 2000 saw the final integration of Hull University with what used to be University College Scarborough, so you may still find references to UCS in places. You should be aware that all your dealings will primarily go through Hull uni before you come into contact with the specific admin people at the Scarborough campus. I joined in something of a rush, initially having decided not to bother going to uni, but in the end I was lucky to get a room in the halls of residence - or so I thought. Eight weeks into the first term, they were still advertising the spare, unoccupied ...  Read the complete review

i spent my first wonderful year as a fresher at Hull uni in the even more wonderful ferens hall. It's stuck in a small village several miles from the town centre (but it does have a windmill nearby), so you do feel a bit out of touch with reality, or maybe that was just hull in general. the accommodation fees were slightly expensive, bearing in mind the quality of the food we were actually served with, and also the fcat that the bar in the jcr only opens about twice a year which isn't particularly useful. but all in all, my year at ferens was good fun, although i was glad to move into a student house afterwards. ...  Read the complete review

I have just finished my first year at Hull uni and I loved every second of it. One of the things that has made the last year so good was where I lived, the Lawns complex. The lawns consists of six halls, a mini market and 'the centre'. The halls were all built in the 60's and this is reflected in their interior, lets just say that brown is the predominant colour and they are not the brightest place in the world. Howvever once you have moved your stuff in and got over the shock of the miniscule bed (possibly a ONE PERSON ONE BED scheme, although it still fails!!), your hall will fill up with everyone elses junk and rubbish and will begin to look and feel like ...  Read the complete review

I spent my first year at Hull in Needler Hall before moving out renting houses with friends. On a general note I would say Hall accomodation is ideal for 1st years going to Uni away from home. It is a great place to make friends quickly and meet people other than those on your course. However as it is the domain mainly of 1st year students I definitely say one year is enough. In my experience the people who stay on longer are those who can't find anyone willing to share a house with them.... Enough said. If it's all night parties, riots and noise your after, then Needler is not for you, but Ferens probably is. If you like cooking for yourself, then ...  Read the complete review
