Guildhall Halls - self-catered halls only

The Guildhall Halls comprise five halls offering self-catering facilities: Bateson Hall, Harry Law Hall, Margaret Rule Hall, Trafalgar Hall and James Watson Hall.  Each hall has its own unique atmosphere and is close to the majority of University buildings, the Students' Union and the sports facilities.  They are located in the heart of the city's vibrant and bustling late-night entertainment area and are conveniently situated for the main shopping centres.  The main reception for the group is situated at Bateson Hall.

'The Guildhall Halls are ideally situated close to everything you need.  They are within walking distance of all main University buildings including the University gym, Students' Union and the library.  The city centre is also just on your doorstep, which has all the main shops you will need.'

Rees and Burrell - catered halls only

Rees and Burrell are situated close to the seafront and all of Southsea's facilities.  Rees Hall overlooks Southsea Common and the Solent, with Burrell House located just behind within close walking distance, and offers excellent community living for its residents.  The University buildings, Students' Union, sports facilities and city centre are all within easy walking distance.  Students at both halls share the dining facilities, launderette area and main reception located in Rees Hall where all meals are taken.

'At Rees and Burrell you get to meet a varied amount of people as you share communal areas and eat together.  It is also in a fantastic location - close enough to lectures and not too far from the city centre.  You couldn't ask for a better location in the summer as you are situated on the Common and closer to the beach than any other hall.'

Langstone Student Village - part-catered and self-catered halls

Langstone Student Village is situated on the edge of Langstone Harbour and comprises three halls of residence offering self-catering and flexible catering options.  It is also home to the University sports fields.  If you want to live in halls with the opportunity of escaping the hectic nature of city life, then this is the place for you, as it offers a more relaxed community environment.  This student campus has its communual area, restaurant and computer suite plus a launderette on site.  With shops and amenities close by and a free regular University bus service taking just 15 minutes to link you to the city centre and Guildhall area, 2.5 miles away, this hall base can give you the best of both worlds.

The University bus service runs term-time only,  Monday to Friday from approximately 7.30am to midnight and on weekends from 11am to 5pm.

'Langstone Student Village is a breath of fresh air, especially as it is so close to the coast.  It has its own restaurant and a communal lounge with wifi.  I am able to study during the day and socialise in the evening with the friends I have made while living here.'
