We usually don't allocate rooms by subject being studied as we feel most students will meet people from their course anyway. There are some exceptions like Nursing where the contract is 51 weeks so sometimes nurse are put together. Computing students can stay in any of our halls as they are all just a short walk away from lectures, however St Christopher's Court is marginally nearer to Markeaton Street than the other halls.
£2.50 for wash
£1.50 for dry
but prices may vary depending on cycle and function but within that price range

Thanks for your lovely feedback about Agard Court. Here at Student Living we're all about creating a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for students, so it's great to hear that it's working! :)
The prices are going up when they are already expensive enough as it is. Very Modern & Clean and good management and staffing.
Great to hear you like Agard Court . It is our most expensive hall but we have plenty of other en suite halls that are similar but cheaper. Many open day visitors have commented that our halls are a lot cheaper than accommodation at other Universities.
Agard court is new, fresh and clean. Some kitchens are like a corridor but others are large and open. It’s in a great position, close to town and unibuses. The management try to help you out with any problems you have
We're really glad you liked staying at Agard Court. You're right it is in a great location close to Friar Gate with it's restaurants, bars and clubs and literally next door to the Law School (One Friar Gate Square). There is also a brand new Lidl supermarket five minutes away which is really convenient
Can be quite unsociable at times however hall manager Amy is helpful and friendly
We're pleased you found the Hall Manager helpful and friendly. Sometimes having an ensuite room in a flat can be isolating as you don't share so many facilities with your flat mates so it's easier to stay closeted in your room. It's so important to connect with your flatmates and other students in the halls community. For that reason our Residence Life programme of mostly free and some subsidised activities aims to bring students together and help them make new friends. We'd encourage all our residents to get involved with these activities. We know that many students have made lifeling friends through them. The inter-hall sports tournaments are really popular and the creative arts sessions have a regular following so there is something for everyone. Find out more about our Residence Life programme
Great value for money, the block I’m in is always quiet so I’m always guaranteed a good nights sleep.
Glad you found Agard Court a nice environment to live in while studying at Derby Uni
Not the most social of halls, but not an issue for me, location is perfect right next to town and the rooms themselves are lovely
We think the rooms are lovely too. Students love to personalise them and make them their own with nice bedding, ornaments and posters. :)The small double beds feel really luxurious and the fact that they have underbed storage is a real bonus.
I do not live in halls but my friends do - they seem really happy with their flats!
Agard Court is a very popular hall - glad to hear your faltmates are happy with their accommodation there.
Great location to the city centre and close to university bus stops, very modern building
Yes and Agard Court is literally next door to One Friar Gate Square (for Law, policing, Criminology etc) and just a few minutes walk from Britannia Mill and Markeaton Street. Round the corner is Friar Gate, one of Derby's liveliest streets in the evenings and 5 minutes away there is a brand new Lidl supermarket. what more could you want?
