Read Cofton Hall Reviews
Cofton Hall is nice accommodation with en-suite facilities and is on campus, this making it a stone throw away from lectures and the university bar (albeit not the best bar). However, considering the location of it in Birmingham (not near city centre and not a lot around the ‘rough’ area), it is becoming increasingly expensive- rising to £150 per week for the ‘deluxe’ accommodation in 2023-2024!!!! However, there are cheaper options available. Accommodation is consistently monitored and issues are addressed well by 24/7/365 security.
Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who wants to live in halls
Living in cofton halls is brilliant especially as it is on campus so having that extra 10mins sleep before a lecture really helps. However, due to it being abit outside of Birmingham it makes socialising a little bit more difficult. The area that it is in doesn’t have any social spots for people living at uni to get involved in, we always have to travel by bus or Uber and with the cost of living it can be expensive.

I do really like Cofton, and the housekeeping staff we see around the buildings are amazing and kind. The biggest issue is, like most universities, they charge for 44 weeks, despite the fact that my course ends 110 days before this! It’s a large cost but not Newman’s fault. Great, spacious, clean, en-suite rooms.
The accomodation is perfect for the money, clean and welcoming bedrooms with a kitchen and living space that allows for positive social interactions. It also has designated quiet floors and flats for those wanting single sex rooms. the cleaners are regular and keep the bins empty in the kitchen. The staff are superb at their job.
Halls get cleaned regularly, very friendly people both living in there and staff
