Churchill, and generally North Village in Bristol, was a really great experience to live in. It's a chance to live a bit away from the city so you can immerse yourself in the student experience and be around new people all the time. I rarely felt alone and the accommodation was really well taken care of. I also got catered food which was really good, but they only give you 2 meals a day and without having a kitchen it sometimes became a bit difficult to make a good meal, especially if you had already missed a meal time.

What is the holmes like? Is it meant for undergrads and is it isolating? I want to apply because I like Churchill but I'd prefer an en-suite but if I'm not going to meet people then I won't apply

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

I thoroughly like living at Churchill Hall - the sense of community is really lovely and the staff are kind and chatty. In terms of commuting to the university, there is a reliable bus stop nearby and the journey does not take longer than 25 minutes.

An overall decent experience, although catering was largely mediocre. The location is awkward, and leads to very long commute times to uni, even compared to other North Village accommodations. The quad and the rooms make it worth considering, though.

-My first criticism is that Churchill Hall is an absolute waste of money, both catering and otherwise. The catering is such where you are paying £5 a meal for a ridiculously paltry amount of food, certainly not £5's worth. The portion size is good for a pre-pubescent child. I really can't understand why the catering service fails to provide a sufficient portion size for young adults when they could surely be spending less on food. I don't know where they are buying their food from but they ought to reconsider what they are buying. Certain catering staff members are rude, others are very friendly. -The room itself, absolutely no complains. It is more than sufficient for my needs. -WiFi, also, no complaints. It is mostly reliable and mostly fast. -The location for me is very isolating, the large fields (downs) are excellent if you are into green spaces, running enthusiast etc. For me, they are like a wall between Churchill and Bristol city. -The buildings are clean.

Rooms pretty poor, no dinner on weekends, no lunch on weekdays. Other than that, the Ethernet is brilliant. Overall bit of a rip off, go self catered.

When I was at Churchill I found it pretty difficult - two girls in my hallway left the university because they were so unhappy in the halls. If you went to boarding school you will fit right in. The food is good but meals are early and you are quite far from the city (40min walk) and the buses can be a bit of a nightmare. If you plan on doing extra curriculars or have long hours I would advise a city centre accommodation!

Had such a wonderful first year here! stayed in the smaller 'shanty town' (MPQR) block..... but everyone will tell you this is where the party is at! The rooms in shanty are smaller but I loved mine, it was lovely and light and cosy and we had 3 shower rooms and toiltes between 8 ppl. In shanty the corridors are mixed, which I think is a bit more fun. The food is amazing (don't tell my mum but better than at home) and it was so nice to not have to worry about buying food or washing up. You can book a late meal at the hawthorns (right next to the uni) or have one in halls if you know you have things on. Churchill has such a fun social atmosphere, and eating your meals all together makes it so easy to make friends. I used to really look forward to meals. There's a nice library and a television room too.Both were nice to use when I needed a change of scenery. You'll lave the staff too, the porter Ian is sooo lovely!! We have formals too, about every 6 weeks, they're a great!

Loved my time at this hall! My only negative point was I thought paying for meals up front would be cheaper but in the log run, less kitchen space and limited meal times aren't as peachy as they make out. The hall itself and social atmosphere were brill though! Also loved the location, who cares about being a couple miles away if you have a free bus.

They feed you so much chicken that you will never want to look at a chicken again in your life... Super expensive but the rooms are really nice and its good not to have to cook. Also nice to be in Stoke Bishop as its very social (but so are the Clifton halls) but means you have to get up earlier for lectures.
