Accommodation in generalNewest Review: ... think that being out at Bodington means that nothing goes. In fact this is quite the opposite. The centre block has its own large bar, snooker tables, squash courts, a shop, music rooms and the dining room so everything you could need is provided for you. Bodington is also set in acres of fields where all the Uni sports teams play so there is no excuse for not keeping fit!! On the social side, there are some formally organised events but most is organised privately like it would be in any other University Hall.

Boddington Hall isnt just good its bloody brilliant! I spent my first year at Leeds uni there. When I found out that I was in Bod I was a bit gutted as having read the brochure you find out that it is 4 miles out of town so I thought I would miss out on loads of the social things that we all come to uni for. This isnt the case, infact this is the opposite. People in Bod have more fun than those not. Because Bod is 4 miles out it has its own social scene. There are numerous pub crawls (the otley runs finishes at bod, not far to fall into bed! or someone elses bed :)). There are also loads of in house parties, balls and theme nights. Its just got everything ...
