10 Reasons Why Bangor Halls Are Perfect for You

More Than Just a Room

1. Make Friends Before You Arrive

The Campus Connect app lets you chat with your future flatmates before moving in. This means you can start forming friendships and get useful insights before starting Uni, helping you feel more confident about the transition.

2. No Hidden Costs

All your bills, like Wi-Fi and utilities, are included in the rent. Budgeting might be new for you, so this removes the stress of worrying about surprise costs, letting you plan your money more easily.

3. Top-Quality Accommodation

Bangor’s halls meet the highest standards and offer 24/7 support and repairs. You can then focus on University life without worrying about the safety or quality of your living space, making it easier to settle in.

4. Feel safe and supported

24/7 security, wardens, and mentors are available in both student villages. Knowing there’s always someone there for help and advice gives peace of mind, especially when you’re away from home for the first time.

5. Campus Life Membership

Free access to loads of fun social events, from pizza nights to lip-sync battles. Campus Life is the perfect way to meet new people and have fun outside of lectures, making it easier to build friendships and settle into student life.

6. Live with Friends

You can request to live in the same halls as a friend. If you’re nervous about moving away, having the comfort of a mate in the same building can make the experience a lot easier.

7. Accommodation that Fits Your Lifestyle

Choose from quiet halls, non-alcohol halls, same-sex halls, and more. You have the freedom to pick accommodation that matches your personal preferences and makes you feel comfortable, so you’ll feel more at home.

8. Free Gym Membership

Every student in halls gets free access to the gym. Staying healthy and active has never been easier (or cheaper), and it’s a great way to relieve stress during your studies.

9. Flexibility

If you’re unhappy in your current room or hall, you can request a move. Moving to University can feel overwhelming, but if things don’t feel right, you have the flexibility to switch, ensuring you’re in the best possible environment.

10. Stay For Another Year

You can stay in halls for your second year if you want to. If you enjoy the convenience and social life in halls, you don’t have to move out after your first year, giving you more time to settle and focus on your studies.
