Advantages: Comfortable accomodation, not too noisey

Disadvantages: Food, no bar

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 the Lawms are for you. If you came to college to do nothing but study, try Cleminson or Thwaite. But if you want a good size room to yourself in accomodation shared with a very mixed, easy going crowd who like a good laugh, then Needler is for you. Besides Ferens and it's parties are just 5 minutes anyway.

All the above Halls ar in Cottingham, and its about about a 10-15min bike ride from Needler to Uni. Most people catch the bus. Cottingham has a few pubs (the Cross keys right next to the hall is OK), but the bars at the Lawns are most popular 'cos there cheap!

The biggest drawback about Needler (in my day anyway) isthe food. There's plenty of it, so no problem there, but the quality is questionable. Needlers chicken supreme is a funny shade of green, and so will you be if you eat it.....
