Advantages: Large rooms, great people (the porters are hilarious), good bar and a vibrant community.

Disadvantages: Damn those single sex corridors, oh and the warden has a thing about first names. It's a bit odd.

Before you even go to university you don't really realise what a big choice you're making before you even get there. Luckily at Bristol University the halls are all of a high standard when I viewed them before I made my decision. After viewing as many halls as I could I chose Manor Hall because it was a cosy place where I was likely to get a place, it was also about 5-10 minutes away from everything, from Clifton village with some pleasant pubs to Clifton Triangle which has bars, shops and night clubs. So I was really in a win/win situation.
My only problem with Manor Hall is the single sex corridor idea, yes I truly think it's a bit old, as much a single sex male corridor was hilarious in my time there, I do think it would have helped to have lived with some women, and no not for bedroom antics and the like. Optimum words, integration. If you wanted to you didn't have to spend any time with the other sex, you could just stay in you're corridor and live in your own cocoon.
That minor problem apart, the rooms are huge, the people were great and the warden is always trying to improve the place.
A great place to spend your first year at the University of Bristol.

Summary: Great hall, great people.
