Langwith is not only one of the newest colleges, but it also has so many amenities. The glasshouse, one of the campus bars, is it's central building, which also has a reception and laundry room. Reception have board games you can borrow and are always on hand to help. Langwith rooms are a great size, even en-suite, and the common areas have sofas and tv's with Netflix. This means you can spend so much more time in with your flatmates rather than having to use someone's room to communially hang out. The houses are lovely and feel really homey but the flats are also great and not too noisey. Langwith is also next to the piazza which has a restaurant, Starbucks and library, and is across the road from a supermarket, Greggs and gp.

I had a fabulous time in my first year at langwith college. The accommodation itself it's modern and spacious, with plenty of storage room. The social side of the college is fantastic, with regular events and formals, and a brilliant freshers week to kick it all off.

The location is Heslington East which only has a few subject area departments. However despite my course being taught on Heslington West I had no trouble commuting. It is a two minute walk and 4 minute bus journey. If I wanted to walk alone it would take 20 minutes. Langwith is the centre of the Heslington East campus and the social experience shows it. With the Glasshouse bar for food and drinks, and several brand new amenities it is increasingly catering for ever students needs. The glasshouse also holds Marmite events whiereby it turns into a club/dance floor scene. The facilities are excellent. I had a shared bathroom but had no problem with this as there is a cleaner once a week. My room was more spacious because I shared a bathroom. The bed is quite large and there is sufficient closet and desk space. From seeing other people’s rooms in Langwith I would choose shared bathroom simply to have the extra space.

Heslington East Campus is quiet, but with its better quality accommodation, newer facilities and now a Nisa, Doctor surgery and restaurants, it is fast becoming the best campus to be on. Glasshouse bar is nice, cheap and buzzing. Langwith accommodation is premium ensuite, double beds, large new rooms built in 2012. Now has TVs in the kitchens and sofas. At £151 a week it’s a bit pricey though

Lovely room, alot of space, good functional ensuite. Could do with a larger wardorbe but otherwise more than enough storage. Clean and bright however maybe should group students with similar work ethics and intersts as opposed to randomly allocating.

Over time more facilities have been built in the area such as a nisa, starbucks and the already existing glasshouse from when I arrived. This calls for a nice place to chill and buy groceries. There's a bus stop a minute walk away and close to the building for the course I personally take - film and television. Inside the halls are laid out nice and with lots of space and everyone is friendly. The rooms are comfortable and the kitchens are massive which is great too.

I had the best time in Langwith. The accommodation is lovely and the big flats/houses encourage you to spend time with your flat mates.

Langwith was a wonderful place to live- the college had a lot of character and there was always something happening to get involved with. The rooms were modern and well decorated, and also quite well sized. The location was perfect for me as my department was only a 5 minute walk away, and the main college bar/social area was perfect for a quick snack or drink after class.
