Accommodation
If commuting to Shuttleworth College will be difficult for you,
then you can choose to live in our halls of residence on campus.
Priority is given to those who live the furthest distance from the
College so make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.
Our halls offer you a stepping stone to living independently in
a safe and secure environment and are particularly useful if your
course involves you getting up early or finishing late. Many of our
students say the friends that they make in halls are like a second
family and you are sure to make friends for life.
We offer single study bedrooms which in 2011/12 were available
at a cost of £3,850 per year with full board on weekdays*. This fee
is payable in three termly instalments and includes a meal
allowance for breakfast, lunch and dinner which can be redeemed at
the Garden Restaurant. For 2012/13 prices, please ring 01767
626222.
If you are on one of our full-time courses you can apply for a
residential bursary which can help with meeting accommodation
costs. Details of this scheme are available from Student Services
on 01767 626254.
Our halls include a modern common room which is open in the
evenings and provides comfy chairs and sofas along with a plasma
screen TV for you to keep up-to-date with your favourite TV shows.
The common room also includes kitchen and dining facilities so you
can try out your cooking skills. There is a laundry, payphone and
gym a few steps away – so you really will have everything you need
to feel at home.
You can be reassured that you will be safe and sound as, in
addition to the Student Services and warden team, our halls also
have an out-of-hours warden to ensure any problems or emergencies
can be dealt with quickly.

At Shuttleworth College we listen to our students and welcome
your input, so if you happen to have a creative flair or a talent
for organisation then the College is happy to hear your views and
ideas for future activities. You can participate in an enrichment

College life, not to mention having great experience to put on your
CV.
Termly parties
Every term there is a special social event to look forward to
including the Freshers' party in the first few weeks of starting,
followed by Christmas festivities, the Spring Fling and the Summer
Ball. They offer you a chance to dress up, have fun, celebrate and
dance the night away with your new friends.

There is a lively College social scene linked to the Tavern Bar
which is open some evenings during the week and is where regular
