Goldney Hall
Introduction
Goldney Hall is a self-catered residence located on the edge of Clifton Village within easy access to local supermarkets and shops, and just a 15 minute walk away from the University precinct.
The hub of the Hall is the 18th century Goldney House which was purchased by the University in 1956. The modern student accommodation was built in 1969 within the Hall’s beautiful historic grounds.
Living at Goldney Hall
Goldney Hall is always in great demand having built up a reputation as a supportive, responsible, diverse and happy community. Residents leave Goldney with great memories and lifelong friendships. The Hall's location and environment are superb, and there is an ethos of helpfulness and respect amongst residents and staff alike that all incoming residents are expected to uphold and pass on.
Throughout the year the Junior Common Room (JCR) Committee strives to ensure a wide range of enjoyable and interesting events such as band, comedy, open mic, quiz and film nights, as well as Christmas and Easter formals, charity events and Goldneyversity challenge. Such events take place in the welcoming Goldney student Bar (which also has a free pool table, board games, and chill-out spaces) or the lovely Orangery. At least one major play is produced per year, and sometimes there are trips out to paintballing, ice skating, etc. The extensive tranquil gardens can be used for relaxing and revising.
Living in Goldney is an enjoyable and vibrant experience, but please note that unreasonable noise, persistent mess, and excessive drinking in the flats are not acceptable.
