Current student, Lewis, shares why he chose to live in on-campus accommodation, Holland Hall.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hello there! I am Lewis and I am a third-year BA Film and Television studies student. I have spent all my three years living in Holland Hall<\/a> and it met my personal preferences as I wanted a catered accommodation that was close to the centre of campus. To clarify the whole three years thing, I have been able to stay in the same accommodation for more than one year on medical grounds. Another positive about Holland Hall<\/a> is that the views from my room are stunning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did I choose Catered over self-catered?     <\/h4>\n\n\n
\n
\"Two<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

One of the biggest reasons for picking catered<\/a> over self-catered is convenience. I found it quite appealing to have all my food sorted for me when I was busy with studying or work. The only meal I had to sort myself was lunch. The menus I also found appealing as I liked the choice on offer. They offer two meat mains and two vegetarian\/vegan mains a night so they cater to a range of diets. Although, I am not a fussy eater so most nights I was satisfied with the choice. Also, you have\u00a0a mini fridge in all the catered accommodation rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residence Life events and support <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even though this isn’t something exclusive to Holland Hall, I thought I would highlight Residence Life<\/a> as I think it is an important service to the students. I have attended a number of Residence Life events and have been on a couple of trips such as to Salisbury and Bristol. I found it to be a good way of interacting with fellow residents and all the Residence Life staff are quite helpful. My favourite event was the Salisbury and Stonehenge trip. I had never been to Salisbury before so I thought it would be a good way to visit a new city for a cheaper price; Residence Life trips are subsidized which is helpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would I recommend Holland Hall? <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for accommodation that meets the same preferences as me, which is a catered accommodation that is only a few minutes from the centre of campus and an en-suite room, then I would recommend Holland Hall.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
