Royce Reviews

cleaning staff are lovely, brilliant location, close to lecture theatres and not far from Union. Some signal problems but good for most phone companies. There's a common room but not much social space in accommodation but there's kitchen and hallways. Really good accommodation

Very modern and nice, only problem is because it's new there's a lot of things breaking/maintenance problems. The social aspect is amazing, lots of flat parties and close friends have been made, my flat has basically combined with two others to form a massive friendship group! The social spaces are great- free pool and table tennis as well as great study spaces. The location also couldn't be better in terms of uni being less than ten minutes away as well as the main clubs! Also several supermarkets less than five minutes away! So glad I chose here instead of Stoke Bishop, definitely not missing out on any social aspects plus in an amazing location!

A great hall in the perfect location near to the union, library, lectures and shop. Could do with having more social areas within each block though.

Absolutely amazing hall couldn't of asked for a better first year at university, something for everyone to get involved in here

Peng innit, frosty jacks n dat

Awesome hall, food ain't great

Royce has been the ideal accommodation which opened the doors in meeting numerous students through social activities and gatherings, involving all new students (freshers) as well as returning students within the accommodation to socialise and break the age barriers

Halls are great fun, everything you needed for first year!

Spent the best year of my life in Royce and am staying there for a second I enjoyed it so much!

Living in Royce as a fresher was a great experience. Being in a catered hall was very sociable and provided the opportunity to eat three meals a day with all the other students living in the same hall. The location was also fantastic and being in the student village made it so easy to get to lectures, the library and the students' union!

I can honestly say living in halls was the best experience ever. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed and settled in straight away. People were on hand to help you move in and the committee had organised a whole host of events and activities for us. It was great to be so close to everything on campus and being in a catered hall added to the whole social experience. There’s nothing better than going out for dinner with your friends every night.

It's sick

Fun and enjoyable place to live with all parts of the uni within a 15 minute walk. Possibly a bit expensive for what you get.

Decent

great hall have managed to make so many new friends in the different IMS events held and the socials. Great experience so far

Really nice, great people, good location, would be better if we had more social spaces in the blocks

One of the rowdiest, and the most outgoing hall in the uni. If you are into going out all the way during the year, and not mainly freshers. Then this is the hall for you !

Royce is decent. Fun to go out with new people though.

Rooms are tiny, but being smack middle of campus helps making going anywhere within university a breeze. Dining hall food has variety in each meal but gets dull after awhile when you realise it's the same menu every single week. Many service disruptions (eg:water disruptions) have occurred which makes life troublesome for students.

Royce has been sick so far, very lively with a massive community atmosphere

Best hall, very cosy and family like

So much going on - always something to do for everyone! Being catered gives a great social atmosphere and you meet so many more people. Royce is in a great location in the middle of the student village and close to all parts of campus

Had the most ridiculous year in Royce!

All round unbelievable hall, beyond socialable and really well setup!

I have lived in Royce for one year, it wasn't my original choice of hall but once I got there I absolutely loved the hall itself and the atmosphere that came with it! I've never thought I wanted a catered hall, but it brings everyone together and is a great way to get to know one another! I loved it that much I will be back for my second year! Best time of my life in Royce hall.

Very sociable, friendly hall with a strong involvement in rag, action and sport. Just a generally all round happy hall where you will make friends whoever you are, wouldn't change it for anything!

Food quality poor. Location fantastic
