Robbins Hall

Campus convenience in the Student Village
Robbins Hall


Nestled in the centre of the Student Village, this lively hall is great value for money and is situated directly opposite the main University campus.  Robbins has a really strong community feel and it's a great place to meet new people. With the city centre literally on your doorstep, you'll find everything you need within a few minutes' walk. This hall offers 268 Standard and Loft rooms and 162 En suite rooms, and is perfect for undergraduates, postgraduates, international students and returning residents.

“I did a lot of research and made Robbins my first choice. It's cheap and cheerful. The place feels like it's lived in and it's close to campus, close to the village and I have a lovely balcony, which is great. It's really affordable so I have lots of money left over to buy groceries and to go out!”
