Hendrefoelan Student Village

Although it isn’t perfectly located, especially for those studying on Bay, free bus passes are provided for the students that live there which is great. Also, HSV is vastly cheaper than the other options meaning more disposable income to be used on other aspects of life. The campus is full of fun and friendly students and my year there was amazing and I would happily live there again if I had to.

The location is very nice, based close the university, however, the facilities are not so great. The bathrooms are not fit to use, we had to have a brand new toilet, the rooms are very small and the heating is awful. The only positive thing about student village is that everyone is very friendly and you make friends quickly as it's such a small place. It's great for flat parties!

It's a bit far from uni itself however last year we were all given a free bus pass which made it basically no problem at all to get to uni. The facilities and the room itself was decent for the price even though some issues (for example lack of hot water in one of the showers) sometimes took a bit too long to sort out. The social experience is great as a bunch of students lived really close to each other so there was always something going on and you could get to know people from very different course just by living close to them.

The social experience here is by far the best you can achieve out of the available accomodation options for halls, although the place itself is very old and run down. The kitchen will more than likely feel old and grubby and could potentially smell but it is definitely well workable. The rooms are nothing special sporting a single bed and the basics you would expect, although if you get unlucky your mattress may well be much too lumpy to sleep on without a topper.

Great atmosphere! Socially the best place to be for sure. The accommodation itself is a bit worn down but still decent for the price! Internet is absolutely terrible and its a 10 minute bus journey to campus (its currently £300 for an student annual bus pass)

The place and the room are great, there's a store a post office and a laundry place nearby within the village and the bus service is very convenient. The room itself is great, a good size and a fine bed and furniture. My only complaint would be the fire alarms and the people in my flat, but I don't think the people are the fault of the university.

Cleaners come regularly, if there's a problem, it's normally sorted quickly. However, My friends flat had a water leak that completely ruined the flooring and his room and wasn't compensated for damage

HSV is located 15 minutes from singleton campus and an hour from the bay campus by bus. This is very inconvenient for those studying at The bay, however I do not fall into this category. The room is of a more than adequate size considering the very reasonable rent, as is the shared kitchen and bathrooms. Being as it is the cheapest residence available there is definitely a sense of social freedom and people are not afraid to let their hair down. This is the most attractive feature of HSV.
