Halls Of Residence At The University Of Leeds

I have just completed my first year studying International History and Politics at the University of Leeds. It was my first time living away from home and the parents so it was imperative to me to get the right accomodation. Fortunately, i chose James Baillie Park, and, could not recommend it more highly to anyone. General ---------- The general lay out of the flats in James Baillie are 6 bedrooms in a cluster area (meaning there is a main door separating your 6 rooms from the next flat), and then one large kitchen and living area. There is also a large common room area at the end of the car park which houses everything you need to live really, ...  Read the complete review

I was in Ellerslie Halls in 2007 which is an on campus, catered, non smoking halls with rooms, not flats. The hall is a two minute walk from the Union building which makes it really conveinient for getting around/to lectures. Meals are taken in the union refectory with a meal card which is topped up a certain amount each day. This gives you more flexibility about what and when you want to eat than many of the dining hall/school dinner typed catered halls there are which I found really useful. The halls itself are a collection of Victorian terrace houses on Lyddon Terrace. The common rooms benefit from high ceilings and neat and tidy decor which gives the halls a rather ...  Read the complete review

In my first year at University I stayed at Clarence Dock halls. They are at the bottom of town, next to the canal. My room had a canal view and I woke up to the ducks quacking every morning. The downside to the hall is that you have to get the bus or walk for 45 mins to get to uni, uphill. The great thing is that its really close to town so great for going out or going shopping. Its also in an up and coming trendy area so there are loads of new bars and resturants. Security is good, you have to have a card and a key to get into both the main gate, your block and your flat. Its obviously noisy as there are lots of students wanting to have fun. The rooms arent ...  Read the complete review

We advise you to prepare your review offline, then to copy it to this space. This ensures that in the event of a connection time-out your contribution is not lost on posting.Bodington hall is a great place to be as it has a real community feel. I has most things that you need all on site and as many of my friends found out it is a good place to find parteners. The buses are a pain and the speed bumps wake you up. Not to be attempted with a hang over. There is an asda at the end of the brown line and the free paper everyday helps to make the journey more interesting, however do be prepared for deadly bus drivers. Also how i wish that people would give us free ...  Read the complete review

I had to go to Leeds uni through clearing so first of all i was quite pleased when i actually got into uni accomidation at all. First of all i was put into a shared room at Henry price which was expensive and not really all that nice. The kitchen was far too small for the number of people in each flat and we never had any freezer space as they only gave us one between ten of us! Alos the loo/shower thing wasn't very nice as we always ended up with soggy loo paper! I decided to move out and am i glad that i did! I went to Boddington Hall and ended up spending my time in Vaughn Annex, or as we called it the shed(well that's what it looked like!) ...  Read the complete review
