Advantages: close to the university, reasonably priced

Disadvantages: the showers aren't wonderful...

Manor hall is by far the best hall of residence at the university of bristol (not that I'm biased!) Three of the halls are in clifton village, which is in close proximity to the university, and then there are a further five in stoke bishop which is a 45 minute walk away over the downs which can be dangerous at night time, and during the winter, people obviously finish lectures after dark.

Being in Clifton is a must in my opnion, and the best hall one could argue is Goldney, because of its fantastic grounds. Sadly though it is heavily oversubscribed which means you cannot be guaranteed a place and so you are far more likely to get into Manor hall, which has the same amount of applicants as it does places (approximately).

The building has great charm and has just had its 75th anniversary. There are wooden floors throughout and large study bedrooms. There are also three further annexes, such as sinclair house, manor house and tottenham place. These are all part of the hall but reside away from the main building itself.

What I found the best thing was, that if you leave the building and walk one way, you are in a quaint little area that feels immediately like home, yet if you walk the other way you are emerged in the city.

The hall also has a ping pong table, pool table, television room, music room, bar and library. I would recommend it highly to anybody wanting to study at the university of Bristol.

Summary: an excellent way to start your time at university, you won't be able to stay away.
