Woolmanhill Flats

Woolmanhill was a great place to live if it is your first time away from home and Aberdeen is new to you. With it being the largest of all the halls of residence you will meet the most people and most likely your friends for the next 4 years. It can be loud at night and sleep can often be missed here but it is definitely worth it and I would recommend staying here. The only negatives are the rooms are small and the heating seems to always be on so it is always roasting!

Woolmanhill flats are the cheapest halls available for RGU students, and when you first walk in the rooms have the charm of a prison cell. Single bed, sink and mirror in the corner, all very minimalistic, but it grows on you. Especially when you get as lucky with your flatmates as I did. Plus there's always a party going on somewhere so it never gets boring in Woolmanhill.

I would give Woolmanhill Flats a 4 star (on its good days) I've just completed 1st year, Woolmanhill is 100% where the freshers parties are at! So close to the town centre and buses to uni, and we are lucky to have smart TV's in our communal areas. Although the bedrooms and doors etc are much resembling of a prison cell you will begin to make it feel more homely! I really enjoyed my time and Woolmanhill and you will definitely find lots of pals there! It's an experience I'll never forget, also watch out for the seagulls ;)

Overall it's extremely basic, it's very warm when you fist move in but you get used to it. Rooms are small. It's great for the social side of things. It's only 10 mins away from city centre.

The location is great, close to city centre and nearby the shops and clubs. The facilities here are really good for what we pay, full size couches and a TV for communal use which is great. The room sizes are quite small but it’s a good compromise.

Decent sized rooms and communal areas. Great way to meet new people. Very close to city centre. Only complaint would be that maintenance isn’t great.

Great halls. Decent sized rooms and communal areas. Ideal way to make new friends. Only complaint would be that maintenance issues (i.e. no hot water in flat) had to be reported several times before anything was done.
