Purbeck House

Purbeck was the best halls. It is the most social of the halls but that doesn't mean it is constantly the 'party halls' - you can shut yourself away from this. Its not one of the more expensive ones but its still nice and modern - i.e. swipe card locks for your bedrooms, plain decor etc.

Was the best price for what you got others were either nice but expensive or cheap but not nice. Location was good as it was close to town but also right next to the bus stop so easy to get to uni.

The social aspect is so good, couldn't fault it as well as the location being a short bus journey to uni and right next to town. However often things aren't working completely how they should be, especially the lifts. The WiFi is also quite poor.

Brilliant for social life which is really what first years about, don't pick a floor with is to high as gets very very hot

The staff are always amazing and very welcoming the facilities such as the pool table and vending machine are very useful but does take all the money I don't have

It wasn't the nicest halls in terms of the way it looked, furniture etc. but it was the best in my opinion for the atmosphere. If you like a sociable party atmosphere and plan to go out a lot it's a really fun place to be.

Purbeck was very lively and lots of fun! Great events run all the time by the team as well as small excursions too! CONS: The lifts are broken quite a lot and the standard of the rooms aren't as good as dorchester or home park for example

Not the best looking halls but good location and felt secure. Thin walls and small showers but enjoyed having an en suite. Nice staff

Social experience is great as there is a lot of students living in the same building. However most kitchens are shared by 5 people. I think it would be a lot more sociable if more people were sharing a flat: the location is really good as it is 5 mins away from gym and Asda and also near the bus stop and walking distance to town. The room size and bathroom size is good. The kitchens are very spacious

The halls are very good , although when it seems to handerling problems in regards to drugs , they do dismiss this and make you out to be a bully

Loud but overall the halls are great, when I was staying there was constant construction work going on so that want the most pleasant thing but generally the location is good, rooms are good sizes and kitchen is great

Purbeck house was a brilliant experience. Good location, room, staff and service. Cleaners and extras such as a hoover per flat were a bonus. The only issue would be the thin walls but considered the loudest halls, this was to be expected. The price was also reasonable

The halls themselves weren’t the nicest but they were fine for uni halls in my opinion. But this was known as the best halls for the social experience and most of the big pre drinks or flat parties would be held here. Would choose it again if I was to have the choice!
