The best part of my halls experience was the connections I made during my stay there. It was easy to make friends and some of my favourite university memories are in halls.

You can pre-order a Student Starter Kit Pack if you want to take the hassle out of buying and transporting bedding, kitchen and bathroom items to uni when it is time to move in – the pack will be delivered directly to your hall of residence.
