Homes vs. Halls

Thousands of residential residents believe that houses are better than halls, quite simply because a house is more than a house……… it’s a home away from home. A true university experience must include living in a student home with friends and we maintain that Houses are better than Halls for the following reasons:

£ VALUE FOR MONEY

• Homes provide much larger bedrooms with double beds vs. Halls provide smaller box-spaced rooms with predominantly single beds
• Homes are larger and more spacious vs. Halls give you insufficiently small communal areas
• Homes are much cheaper to rent vs. Halls are more expensive (double bedrooms in Halls can range between £110 - £150/per week!)
• Homes come with gardens for parties and BBQ’s (you just don’t get this with Halls!)
• Homes save energy costs by sharing the bills between the tenants vs. Halls charge everyone a high amount for bills
• Homes are yours for 12 months vs. Halls predominantly offer 9 months

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION

• Living in the heart of the student village is a crucial part of the student experience
• Homes give you choice with 3-12 bedroom options vs. Halls restricted to 4-5 bedroom options
• Homes can be much closer to Uni than their own Halls
• Homes have a close Proximity to shops, trains, buses etc

FREEDOM AND FLEXIBILITY

• Freedom of your own Home vs. frequent inspections in Halls
• House parties accepted in Homes vs. House parties equals noise complaints in Halls
• Homes come with their own washing machines, meaning you save time AND money avoiding the Halls launderette
• Homes allow monthly rental payments vs. Halls who demand rent upfront and termly
