University Hall

Overview

University Hall is a large hall with a lively, friendly atmosphere. It is a short walk or cycle to the Heath Park campus and less than 2 miles from the Cathays Park campus. The University has a bus service operating during set times between University Hall and both the Cathays Park campus and Heath Park campus which runs weekdays. This service is provided as part of the residences package for University Hall, so you do not need to pay each time you use the University bus service.

University Hall is nestled on top of Penylan Hill just outside the city centre. It's a residential campus all on its own, much like the maybe more well-known ‘Talybont’. A normal misconception about ‘Uni Hall’ (apart from the name; ‘where do you live?’, ‘Uni hall’, ‘No, which one?’ ‘... Uni hall!’) is that the distance from uni makes it a less desirable location - but if anything it creates a much stronger community! With different blocks, you get a chance to meet people from all courses and with all different interests. You spend more time together as it’s not as easy to wander off into town. My friends I lived with are still some of my closest friends to this day. Oh, and to add the cherry on top of the cake, you can watch everyone else walk to uni in the rain as you travel on a free bus! Perfect.
