Bishop Julius Hall (first year, fully-catered)

Bishop Julius Hall is just a 5-10 minute walk through the University gardens to the Central Library, lecture theatres and other student facilities. The hall has a tradition of excellence since 1917. With a large study centre and a landscaped central courtyard, the hall provides a warm and friendly environment for you to obtain the best academic results and to make lifelong friends amongst the 169 residents.  A new residential block of 60 rooms and brand new common room provides the newest facilities of any first-year hall on campus.  View our 360° panoramas.
