Newham House

The room's standard is fine. Quite spacious and I keep it in order as I like it however the living condition isn't up to mart, flatmates are too loud and not clean enough. What a waste.

I loved how easy it was to make friends in halls like these, sharing a kitchen and bathroom encourages you to interact with the people you are sharing the space with. However, if you struggle with socialising, and are not one for the partying aspect of university, then these halls are not for you. You are almost guaranteed to be woken up at 2, 3, even 4 am any night that the student union holds a function or party. Unless you have flat reps who lay down the rules and are willing to stand by them, then these halls will be a nightmare. As they were for me.

Good location in the centre of campus. Although halls weren’t in the best condition, a very small kitchen for 18 people and no shared living area. Bedrooms were a good size with shower in the room. No WiFi only an Ethernet cable in room.

Some facilities don't work, a few fridges shared between 18 people and heating doesn't really work. Fairly social though and the location is alright provided your lectures are in Digby or not too far. No social area or WiFi, data ports are available but not all of them work.

Location is good on campus close to lectures. Sharing toliets is fine and the cleaners are lovely. We get our own shower and skin, very old accomodation but the rooms are a good size. Kitchen is too small for the amount of people, and kettles broken and table very old.

Pretty cheap for an almost-en-suite room. It's a big room, with a shower, sink, desk and cupboard in. You share toilets with 16 other people - however, there's 4 cubicles and there was never a 'waiting' time for the toilet (it always pretty much always unoccupied when I went in). There were 2 kitchens on my floor - lots of cupboard space and there was a lot of freezer and fridge space. It was hard to move around in the kitchen when people were eating at the table; everyone who was sat would have to move constantly so people could move to their cupboards. Close to lectures - for those who had lectures on main campus otherwise it's a 15 minute walk to Whitelands (for the sciences). There's a shop as well that is a 30 second walk once you left your halls as well as the Diner (you can buy breakfast and lunch here) and The Hive (really eco-friendly coffee shop). Also is very close to the Student Union and the halls are right by the bunnies. The accommodation itself is close to several bus stops - and the nearest train station (Barnes) is a 5 minute bus journey away or 15-minute walk. There's a 20-minute bus journey to ASDA and it's a 10-minute walk to shops such as Co-Op, Premier and Subway. There's also buses to Kingston, Putney and other places that are easy to get to.
