Halls Of Residence At The University Of HullNewest Review: ... laundry dry off. To be honest, the room could do with being a lot bigger, but it is very useful and I'm glad it's there! Now the bad stuff; firstly, the kitchens: 9 people per floor in my block (it's the same for most blocks) and the kitchens are big enough for 3 people to squeeze into; if the door is open - and with 3 in there you can't move to do anything! The fridge/freezer doesn't fit ... more |

Hello, and thank you for reading this review! The University of Hull is a fantastic place to study, and Hull, contrary to what the media will tell you, is an amazing city! Accommodation is important, and you should take time to consider your choice. This is a review of The Lawns, in Cottingham. Price People usually leave the price until last - but I might as well mention it in now; The Lawns, for student accommodation, is very good in terms of price compared to other halls in other cities, and if you get one of the newly refurbished blocks - you have found yourself a great deal! Room: The newly refurbished halls: So, ... Read the complete review

Hi everyone! If you are interested in studying at the University Of Hull then I would highly recommend it as it is a great university and we have one of the best student unions in the UK. However a major part in your university life is your accommodation so I thought I would give a few details incase anyone is interested. I have noticed that the other reviews are by those who are living or have lived at The Lawns in Cottingham. So as I lived in Needler Hall for my first year at uni, I thought I would tell you more about this one. Advantages of living in Needler Hall: It is located in Cottingham, about 5 minutes away from The ... Read the complete review

Halls of residence. Masses of people. Before you move in I would recommend you to look through the options you have. I am sure people love the lawns, if you are THAT kind of person. I moved to the lawns in September last year. Coming straight from another country, that was quite a big change. Suddenly I was surrounded by English people who all would talk very fast, and look astonished when I couldn't pick up all the accents. Oh, well, getting used to that, it turned out to be quite ok for a while. I had my own room, I didn't have to cook (although the food was not really that nice) and it was sociable. But there is always a ... Read the complete review

The Lawns is an area of halls of residence about 3 miles away from the university itself. It costs around £1 to travel there by bus and around £4 by taxi. There are many halls and also some bungalows (self-catering). You have the option of a shared or single room - single costs nearly £100 more per year though. Evening meals included, you pay around £60 per week to live here. This price also includes electricity, cleaners and kitchen equipment. Each block has three or four floors with 9 people living on each - 2 shared rooms and 5 singles. OK, so it's fairly cheap living here, but what else does it have going for it? Well, as this is my opinion I am ... Read the complete review

The university has a number of different Halls, unfortuately 90% of them are a good 3 miles away from the university buildings, in a village called Cottingham. Cottingham itself is a very nice village if you take the time to look which most students don't. There are 5 unversity residences in Cottingham, The Lawns, Ferens Hall, Thwaite Hall, Cleminson Hall and Needler Hall. The Lawns is by far the biggest, it is split into 6 sub halls Grant, Reckitt, Downs, Lambert, Nicholson and Morgan, which are again split into blocks A-E. All but Morgan are catered Halls, students eat in the Lawns Centre, food is basic and sometimes edible. The problem, although not ... Read the complete review
