Advantages: Welcoming recptionists

Disadvantages: Breeze blocks

As a former resident of AKD for 3 years between 1999-2002, there is no doubting the hall's appeal. Prior to refursbishment in 1999, the hall was, what can only be described as, a damp, dingy and dated squalor with brown carpets and white breeze block walls taking pride of place throughout.

The breeze blocks are still there (there was little they could do about that, save knock the entire halls down) but the place has been revamped to a high standard. You have your ubiquitous ISDN lines providing internet access, a little-used games rooms and a welcoming reception area.

The rooms are small and adequate for their function though provide no real talking point. Use them as a study base and you will be fine. Kitchens are generally clean and spacious and are the main communal area for each corridors 12 or so residents. Foreign students generally occupy one floor and are a delightful feature - allowing people to mingle and meet in a semi-international community.
