Halifax College

I live in a standard shared bathroom in Halifax College and it has been lovely. Although you would not have your own toilet and bath, your own room is extremely spacious. I was not expecting such a spacious room with a sink for yourself and a big desk. There is a big board in the room too to hang your own pictures as you wish and a big radiator which I find convenient as I do not freeze. Closet space is quite small as there are only three drawers and a quarter of a closet space. The kitchen is quite spacious too to share with 11 people. Though at times, the kitchen can be crowded when people are pre-drinking to go to club after wards. There can be lots of noise outside even after 11pm if you want an early night and I live near JJ's which is the common room in Halifax and noise from the common room can be heard. Halifax is away from the central of the university as it takes 20 mins to walk to my department but it gives a good exercise every morning!

I stayed in St Lawrence Court. Cheapest accommodation but not missing out on much. Rooms are pretty small but houses of 20 are great for making friends especially in first year. Weekly cleaners helped to keep the house tidy in communal areas. Security and reception made me feel much at ease and safe living there. Nisa only 10m from front door which is ideal!

Lived in st Lawrence court. Shared 4 bathrooms, one normal sized kitchen and one mini kitchen between 20 of us. Kitchen space in particular was small for self catered given the number of us but was an enjoyable atmosphere. Having a house with so many people was great for those who like to socialise and enjoy being in the company of others.

the rooms are spacious and the kitchen is well furnished if a little small, could really do with more communal space in the houses.

Economy accommodation in Halifax College (St Lawrence Court) is overpriced but everything functions fully and if things aren't functioning properly, it gets fixed very quickly. It's close to campus and the bus stop as well as the laundry room, nisa shop and common room. The rooms are fairly big and living in a house of 20 has been a really fun experience.

Great community feeling with socials always being held at jjs! Common room is small and less accessible for Ainsty and hickelton court. Good facilities with Shop and study centre, friendly reception staff.

A college most people end up in rather than choose, Halifax is the largest college at York University, lacks a bar and is a bit off campus. However it is only a 15 minute walk from any lecture, has a great social area, cheap but big rooms and by living in houses, your dynamic with housemates is almost always very close-knit and like having another family.

Halifax feels separate from the rest of the main campus, and it'll take longer to walk to Hes West, Hes East, and even the bus stop. However it does have it's own Nisa, and is right next to 22 Acres which is useful for anyone doing field sports who needs to train their regularly.
