You have two toilets and a bathroom with six sinks, two showers and one bath in it. The kitchens are very small but all have a fridge, oven, grill and microwave (some have a freezer). The bedrooms in Old Quad are huge, but with no washbasin. In New Quad it a more traditional corridor layout with less people in it. The rooms are smaller with a washbasin in them, or with a washbasin between two outside two bedroom doors. They have bigger kitchens all with a freezer. Connaught has it's own bar and common room, and is a very lively hall. As it is quite small (200+ people) it has a great atmosphere and you get to know everyone very well. South Stoneham TowerThe myth and legend that is Stoneham. Apparently planned to be demolished for years, yet mysteriously first years still seem to be put into this great tower block. Not the best accommodation in the world, but made up with cheap prices.

No of people sharing a kitchen: 6 people at Enhanced Media:STP60971.JPG- to the left of the picture around the corner is the fridge and freezer , Media:STP60972.JPG- a shot to show u the kind of size of the kitchen , Media:STP60973.JPG- the kitchen table (excuse all the washing up!). Because of the way the building is laid out, in fact every other kitchen is slightly smaller. But its still a good size- our kitchen is massive as its only for 6 people who inevitably will be cooking at different times anyway. Even a decent size to have a party in! No of people sharing a toilet: 2 bathrooms between 6 people. showers are huge- we fitted 10 people into ours! No of people sharing a shower/bath: 2 bathrooms containing sink, toilet and shower between 6 people.

AubreyHow to describe Aubrey house... Well, imagine heaven, then fill it with cheap drinks. Aubrey house has about 200 people in it so there's a real sense of community. As it's part-catered the kitchens are rubbish (4 hobs to about 16 people. Hint: for weekends get takeaways and microwavable stuff if you can afford it) but the actual food they serve is quite nice. Aubrey house has a JCR with a table tennis table, a 3/4 size snooker table (with pool balls, snooker balls and scoreboard) and a telly. We're 5 minutes walk to Avenue campus and 10 minutes walk from Highfield campus, which makes us the closest halls to either (crawling out of bed and straight into lectures is a great plus). There's also a bar in the first floor. It's tiny but you can take your drinks all over Highfield Halls, and it's ultra cheap. £1.20 a pint during Happy Hour. If you want to go upmarket there's a pub around the corner as well as a corner shop. There are also good public transport connections. If you're too damn lazy to walk to Highfield campus to get a bus there's a bus stop which is 2 minutes walk away which the U2 stops at. We're also right next to Southampton Common (like, the across the road kind of 'next to') A couple of the only downsides is there's only 2 washers and 2 driers. For God's sake don't try and get your washing done on a weekend. And because everybody's so sociable you WILL catch fresher's flu when you arrive. Bring paracetamol and Lemsip. Room Types available: Catered. Basic + washbasin, Standard + washbasin and en suite No of Rooms: About 200, probably a bit less No of people sharing a kitchen: 16ish No of people sharing a toilet: 8ish No of people sharing a shower/bath: 8ish RomeroRoom Types available: En-Suite Self Catered No of Rooms: ~ 250 No of people sharing a kitchen: Between 6 - 10. Most common number is 7. No of people sharing a toilet: 1 No of people sharing a shower/bath: 1 With Gateley it is the most convenient hall for getting to town. The bus up to Highfield takes 10 mins and runs 4 to 6 times an hour with the last bus back to Archers Road at half past 11 pm, the safety bus will take care of you after that. Has small kitchens, and smaller en suites than at Glen Eyre but they are still very comfortable rooms with big desks. The big advantage for me was the TV aerial points in the rooms, I've managed to get Freeview but channel 5 is crap!
