Polden Court Reviews

Most expensive halls on campus - no idea why. I was in a small little corner room with a terrible wet room bathroom. The food card was credited with £55 every week as this is a catered hall... with the campus prices this would only last until Thursday if you are lucky! Location is ideal. Hall management was non-existent, I had no port of call. Cleaning was awful - always dusty. Common room was an empty space with a few stools. Social experience was terrible - I'm a very cosmopolitan person and I speak Spanish and French, however the Spanish, French and Portuguese majority population of my halls made absolutely no effort to mix with me despite my best efforts.

If not for few people, I would have given this college 0 stars

Kitchens don't serve well as a social area. There is too much incentive to stay in your own room. Would recommend for people who want to be lonely.

Simply a step above other residences, including fridges inside rooms, baths, double beds and cleaning services

Rooms are really nice, as are the kitchens. It's a little on the outskirts of campus but that's good for some things.

No closed flats so great for socialising, and spacious, double bed rooms with mini fridges and spacious ensuite bathrooms. overall, gives very homely feeling

Really good. Catering credit is handy but make sure you budget it or it will all go!
