Good social aspect to have meals with your friends 3 times a day and have weekend meals. Toilets, showers and kitchen are always clean and the cleaners are lovely. Common room could do with better upkeep and more events. Friendly and helpful committee and warden team.

Q&A


Q
Hi, was wondering if you can eat in other catered areas around campus or do you have to eat in towers catering only? Thanks.

Q
Any engineering students at towers, what arrangements did you have for getting lunch? Did you get packed lunches, or is there a way of using using credits to eat at other dining halls? Thanks

I have loved towers and the social aspect has been amazing and I’ve made friends for life!! I think being catered helps the social side of things. The cleaning is regular however I feel it ends up getting messy quick. The wifi is really bad in my room and the girl next door to mine to the point where I have to use data. Apart from that I really like it!!

So far I have enjoyed towers. It’s a social hall due to the people and the dining hall. The rooms are really good but the food is sometimes not the best.

This brutalist beauty (subject to personal preference) is one of the most unique halls, not just on campus, but in the country. Not many students can say they lived on the 20th floor of their hall. Whilst at first glance, your spine may shiver at the aesthetics of the building, I can promise you will be leaving at the end of the year having fallen in love with it. Towers is more than a building, its an experience... you get to know all 300 people by name. In towers you will have a large group of people you get to know (both floors on each tower tend to mix, so you become flatmates with essentially 15 other people), eating together in towers dining hall brings everyone closer, and those walks to and from town after a night out are when some of the best memories are made. Most students in towers don't pick towers, but always walk away feeling proud to be there.

A very social hall located extremely close to sports facilities, POWERBASE gym and many lecture halls. The catered food is good and extremely convenient especially when studying and managing other commitments like sports clubs. Best hall culture I have ever come across. Lots of parties and a great community spirit

When I originally visited, I hadn't wanted to stay in catered halls, but was allocated Towers - the hall with the biggest catering provision! However, staying in Towers was the best experience and I made friends for life. My department, the Union and Powerbase gym were all within a 5 mile walk, which was pretty handy.

Great hall, if you're someone who's shy or introverted (like me) this hall is fantastic to help you out your shell! You will enjoy the nights out and you'll feel comfortable going back anytime you want - and the pre-drinks are great fun!

The number one student hall for socialising. With everyone in one block, the hall family spirit is unrivalled and the inclusivity and atmosphere makes sure you have a great time. Catered 7 times a week is a god send, and the halls Committee makes sure you have the best uni experience possible. Also a Hall known for its sporting prowess, being one of the 'big' sporting halls in the university's IMS programme.

I went in not expecting anything and it has been one of the greatest experiences of uni so far. The food is ok, but it has been helpful that it is a balanced diet and I'm being fed regularly. The common room is not great, however, this is the only real negative I can give towers.

No one chooses Towers to be there first choice as a first year but every single student who gets put there loves it and any guests they have come round wish they were in that accommodation! 1/3 of the accommodation is returners who loved it so much that they just want to relive the experience all over again, and those who don't get in are always visiting us because they miss being in the best hall that much!

Towers is an absolutely wonderful accommodation with amazing views (if you are floor 4 or above). It is fully catered and the food can get a little repetitive during the year; especially if you are a fussy eater. However, the actual rooms you get are very good. Towers boasts some of the largest rooms on campus, with a 4-foot bed (small double sized), a huge wrap-around desk, a three door wardrobe with a full length mirror, a huge window that lets in lots of light, and a sink that is built into a cabinet with a mirror and a mirror light as well.

The catered accommodation food is very repetitive and heavy, but decent. The common room is absolutely terrible - not a social place at all only used for drinking before a night out. Quite a small hall, but good for getting to know everybody easier than having blocks.
