It is a really modern and well kept student halls, with spacious rooms. The location of the halls is ideal for students, as it is located next to park bar. Reception, laundry and centre of campus are all very close to the halls.

the rooms are lovely and the flat gets cleaned regularly yet it is very expensive for what it is. the kitchens having no sofas made it uncomfortable to socialise with your flatmates and it didn't have that homely feel

Stenton offered great value for money, nice facilities and good location, but I did not enjoy living in my flat due to the loudness, the people and the lack of sofas/comfortable common areas.

Internet: amazing (im a gamer) Social life: depends on your flat mates Social places: next to park bar (the standard uni bar) Security: they are harsh and exceptionally mean Rooms: very nice although u have less floor space with double bed rooms Cleaning: they clean kitchens every week and toilets as well for townhouses Location: 7 min walk to the middle of campus Noise: walls and windows pretty sound proof

I lived in a shared house in first year, not Peter Taylor, but it's the only one that came up. that they've stopped letting out to students as it was so bad. Didn't have a full sized bed so my feet were hanging off. Housemates smoked weed all the time. Very dingy, not a nice experience

Great location on campus, fantastic sized rooms and bathrooms, internet is great the majority of the time, only downfall is the kitchen in the flat is the only place you can socialise and it isn't the coziest of places, other than that it is maintained well and the people are even better.

Overall the Stenton Hall is very good for its bathrooms and it's kitchen. The only qualm I have with the halls is that there is no common room for the flat to relax in. Relaxing in the kitchen can be quite uncomfortable after a while and we had to bring a couch to make it more enjoyable.

Room was nice although the shower was a bit too small and the mattress was pretty bad and uncomfortable. The kitchen was nice although the cupboards were a bit rubbish and the fridge/freezers were too small for 8 people and the fact that there was only one oven meant that it restricted when you could cook.

Living in Stenton the last year has truly been a wonderful experience, I've met many people and felt so comfortable in my flat with a lovely sized room for myself and a close knit group of people to chill out in Park Bar with for example.
