Wolfson Hall

This accommodation is good due to the proximity to the vet school , however it is catered and the food can be very variable. There are many nights that the food appeals to very few people as they do not make simple filling meals. The rooms are nice and give enough space for one , the en-suite rooms are good with plenty of desk space. The first bus pass that comes with the accommodation is extremely good as it can get you to tescos or the city centre

There are both good and bad bits about wolfson. I found that I really enjoy the community aspect of it and the ability to make friends with anyone in the halls rather than being more confined within a flat. The food is a bit hit or miss especially the dinners but the breakfasts and the bruches on the weekend are good. The location is good for getting to the vet school but is a bit of a hassle for everyone else.

Wolfson was a good location for me when I was going to uni as I was at the vet school and so only a short walk away, however getting into town and to the main uni building a was a pain. The social experience was good, I met loads of people on my course really quickly and the student support offered movie nights etc. The social areas were ok, but the sofas were pretty old and grim and we weren’t allowed to meet in them for a drink so we always had to cram into someone’s room for pres. I lucked out with my room and got a pretty big room where I shared the toilet with only one other person. I’d say it’s not great value for money, Wolfson is catered so the extra money would go on food, but the food was really average or bad most meals and you also spend more money getting yourself into the west end so it’s quite costly for what you get. The WiFi and internet were always fine. Never had a problem with it.

The rooms are nice, no complaints. What is a nightmare is the distance to the university for lectures etc. Having to get two buses first thing in a morning isn't ideal and can take up to an hour. Food is nice enough but there could be more options.

If you are a vet student then these halls are ideal as they are only 10 minutes from your campus. They are very far away from the main university campus unfortunately, however they did contain a small library as well as a computer suite and games room. As they are catered you will probably meet most of your friends either in the dining hall or in the shared snack kitchens and there is a nice atmosphere amongst the students. Most of the rooms are of a good size and the shared kitchens and bathrooms are cleaned everyday during the week.
