The hall is a little bit old but includes all the necessary facilities for a confortable stay. Rooms are not too much tiny, the bedroom si good, there is a big table and a chair, there is a kind of capboard where you can put books and other staff, there is a big wardrobe! The bathroom is not the maximun, it is tiny, the shower is terrible. I have to share the kitchen with 5 people that have the rooms in my same hallway. The hall is 5 minuts walking far away from the university's class. The common space are clean, thanks to the housekeeper that clean all the days. The housekeeper clean our kitchen once a week!

Pros: - near the library - able to wake up at 8.50am for a 9.00am class - walking distance to gym - get to meet other students Cons - Very far from city - The bus stop is far from the halls - There are no shops/ the student shop is the only option and it is expensive

Great location in the university itself . It’s roughly about 3 mins walk away from the main building which means you can wake up 5mins before class and still be on time. The size of the room is pretty decent for 1 person and it comes with an attached bathroom. All the equipment are in good condition and work fine. Only problem is that the walls between neighbours or infact the whole hall is pretty thin. Even a normal conversation can be overheard by your neighbour which can be pretty annoying for you and neighbour as well. But so far, I have not had any bad experience regarding the issue. There is also a shared kitchen among 5 rooms which is very nice. Spacious and facilities are all complete, even pots and pans can be borrowed from the chaplaincy ( remember to return it at the end of the semester). There are also common area within the halls such as computer room and the lounge area. Great places to chill after class and meet new people. There is a variety of people staying in robin smith ( from diff parts of the world) so it’s a great opportunity to make new friends and if you’re close enough they might even offer you to come over to their country and host you for the holidays ;) Overall, it has been a good experience, rooms are warm and cozy and friendly company.

The hall is generally quite clean. They refurbished it so everything is good and working. Kitchen is spacious with fairly new ovens and fridge. It’s about 8 minutes walk to the main reception of the university.
