Students
The thing I like most about living in the college halls is that it’s very welcoming and everyone looks after each other.
Living in halls provides all the facilities a student needs for getting used to living far away from home. I’ve made a lot of new friends, I have a great kitchen to cook in, a great room where I can study and everything I need.
