It’s quieter than our other halls here so it'll suit you as a mature student. Rooms have shared bathrooms and kitchens with a shared area for group study, TV lounge and pool table and outdoor space. This is our smallest hall however there are plenty of students around as it’s on the same site as Platt Hall.
