These are the only university of southampton halls I have fully experienced and stayed in and I must say I have been very impressed with the standard of the rooms. The halls are en suite and self catered, although there is a catered pay as you go hall which you can use if you can't be bothered to cook after a along day! I haven't actually ever used the catered hall as I prefer to cook for myself so can't comment on the quality or price of the food. When I stayed there the price for an en suite room was approximately £115 a week, although this may have changed by now.

The halls are set out into flats of 8 people with a shared kitchen. The kitchens are very big and have plenty of cupboards for everyone to have their own and these can be locked by their owners to make sure no sneaky housemates steal your food! The kitchens have a large table and chairs so everyone can socialise together.

The rooms are of a good size, with a big desk, shelves, wardrobe and pin board so you can put up photos. There is also a bedside table and comfy chair and plenty of floorspace. You are allowed to decorate the walls and so you can really make your room your own. The walls are a whitish colour which you would be so thankful for if you'd stayed anywhere like the kings college london halls with their mustard yellow and green walls! The halls are relatively new and so none of the paintwork is missing and the halls are in really good quality and clean (this may change once you've moved in though!) One wall has carpet on it, which I find weird and I've never really understood but there you go.

The en suite bathrooms are a good size and much bigger than a lot of others that I have seen. Whereas some halls en suites tend to be like a portaloo these are proper sized with closed in showers etc. They are still small of course but they are of an adequate size. The showers are also relatively powerful. The bathrooms also come with a mirror.

The actual location of Glen Eyre Halls is very good and it is a mere 5 minutes walk from the highfield campus, where you can find most academic buildings, the library, student union, stags head and my favourite: the nuffield theatre! There are also lots of takeaways just down the road who will even deliver to you on a lazy day! The halls are in a very leafy area and there is lots of grass and trees surrounding the halls and on the actual site. It really is a lovely place to live and in my opinion, the best halls the university has to offer!
