Durdham Hall
Introduction
Durdham Hall is a self-catered residence situated at Stoke Bishop. The traditional style building with a central quadrangle is set in landscaped grounds with open views. The Hall opened in October 1994 and is the newest of the University’s Halls of Residence.
Living at Durdham Hall
The resident Senior Common Room (SCR) comprises the Warden, Deputy Warden, and six senior residents. They are available for residents to seek advice and for maintaining a positive and collegiate atmosphere within Hall. Collectively, the SCR, Junior Common Room Committee,(JCR) and Hall staff aim to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in which students can maximise their potential and lay the foundation for a successful University experience. We welcome, in particular, students who are interested in contributing to the communal life and traditions of the Hall.
There are good communal facilities, including a large lounge with a pool table, table tennis, various games, big screen TV and licensed bar. The Badger Bar is open nightly during term-time and is the centre of social activities within the Hall.
There is a quiet study room, small music room and a 24-hour access computer room with the latest equipment that is linked to the University network.
Accommodation
Durdham Hall offers modern and attractive self-catering accommodation for 228 students in self contained flats of six or seven study bedrooms. Smoking is forbidden anywhere within the Hall other than the designated smoking area outside, at the rear of the Bar.
Every flat has a spacious shared kitchen and dining area furnished and equipped to a high standard. A launderette is available on site. Some flats are suitable for students with disabilities, as are most of the facilities throughout the Hall (please enquire for your specific needs).
Each study bedroom has its own en suite shower, washbasin and WC. Each room is equipped with a telephone and network connection point. Wi-fi is available throughout the Hall.
