Halls of residence
As a student of Shuttleworth you will have the
opportunity to live on-campus in the halls of residence. There are
a number of single study rooms available on a first-come
first-served basis. As a residential student, you will have access
to the common room, which is a great place to socialise with
friends, watch DVDs or play Wii on the large flat screen, and cook
in the attached kitchen. The common room is open to residential
students from 5.00pm until 11.30pm during the week and at weekends,
so there will be plenty of time to relax in a comfortable, social
space in the evening.
Food and drink
Students eat in the Garden Restaurant where a
variety of good healthy food is on offer at affordable student
prices! The meal allowance included in the residential
accommodation fee can be redeemed in the restaurant and themed days
are also really popular – they add a bit of variety to the menu.
Special dietary requirements can also be catered for and there is
always a vegetarian option available for residential students
eating their meals in the restaurant. At weekends the Halls of
Residence are on a self-catered basis only.
The Tavern Bar is open on Monday and
Thursday evenings and provides a great social centre for the
resident community. Students under 18 years of age are only
permitted to purchase non-alcoholic beverages.
