Very social halls. Has a common room too. However, for what you pay the facilites could be better and you still need to pay for washing, unlike other halls which give you free credits

Great place to live, really social and easy to make friends. About a 20-30 minute walk to uni but it's a nice walk through the park. Some things could be better in the room but overall really happy.

Many facilities available, a large room with a pool table, lounge area and TV provided. Ping pong table also included. The halls are very clean. Very socially active halls which is the only drawback and good thing at the same time as it can be hard to work at JB

I absolutely loved James Baillie, everyone was so friendly and seemed to either have similar interests or just very open to trying new things. It was a bit far from uni but I never felt isolated. In the first week, everyone was so friendly and that seemed to just carry on throughout the year and into my second year. The facilities in my flat were fine. They weren’t anything special but as it was my first time living away from home I didn’t feel like I needed anything too fancy. The rules were relaxed but I always felt secure and maintanence sorted out any issues promptly

James baillie was amazing, you constantly felt very safe and it was exactly what you needed from a student room

Great location, 20 minute walk from campus and a short walk from a variety of student orientated pubs. Social life is amazing, great people. Room is rather small, but spend most of the time socialising in the kitchen which is great for having people round in.

With James Baillie a 25 minute walk from campus, the location was great as it was close enough for me to walk to uni every day. The Sainsbury’s in Headingley was only a 10 minute walk away which was perfect for grabbing whatever it was that I needed (I’m not a fan of online shopping). The creek behind the halls were a little gem and it was so nice walking down there to clear my head from time to time. The rooms were small but of a good quality and the members of staff in the office were always on hand to collect parcels. I often went in there just to have a little chat with Roger as he was such a lovely guy! It was very expensive to live there but I would recommend James Baillie to everyone applying to stay there.

James baillie is a great halls if you want a social life and for nightlife as everyone likes going out. The location of these halls are good because it is in between the two student areas of Hyde park and Headingley.

Everybody agrees James Baillie has a really great social setting, and is a great distance from the Uni (20 mins walk). It's not too expensive and has all the facilities you would need.

It was so much fun. All I had was a good time> who knew that I was going to have this much fun, all I can say is take my word for it if you go here you will have fun

Wouldnt want to go to another halls. Everyone's very chill and you have a lot of freedom here. Only problem is bed sizes are a bit small in general and the washing machines are an absolute rip off.

James Baillie is a very sociable residence and is nicely located between campus and Headingley. However it’s seems it’s fairly expensive given we still have to pay for our own washing and many other things but this is probably due to having our own bathroom.

The location is okay, the social experience is amazing, the facilities could be improved, the rooms are quite spacious and the kitchen is good

In a pretty good location not too far from uni but close to headingley. Has sofas- very important. Flats and rooms are a good size and have a nice layout although there were quite a lot of maintenance problems that took a while to be fixed. Overall great social halls if a bit pricey (one tiny annoying thing is that all the plugs are under the desk)
